3. Setup

3.1. Installation onto Helmet

The FreedConn FX PRO supports installation onto most helmet types and brands. There are two primary methods for attaching the unit to your helmet: using a sticker clip or a buckle clip. This section demonstrates the buckle clip method, which causes no damage to the helmet surface.

1. Prepare the Helmet: Remove the helmet liners at both sides and on top to access the internal structure. This is typically required for proper cable routing and headphone placement.
2. Install Headphones: Locate the shallow grooves reserved for headphones at both ear positions. Attach the headphone with the shorter cord to the left side and the longer cord to the right side. For full-face helmets, it is recommended to use the soft cable mic; for open-face helmets, the hard cable mic may be more suitable.
3. Attach Buckle Clip Seat: Securely attach the buckle clip seat to the left side of the helmet's edge.
4. Mount FX PRO Unit: Align the back of the FX PRO unit onto the buckle clip seat and slide it into place until it clicks securely.
5. Reinstall Liners: Carefully reinstall all helmet liners, ensuring no cables are pinched.

3.2. Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the FX PRO unit. Connect the provided Type-C charging cable to the charging port on the device and to a compatible USB power source. The LED indicator will show charging status and turn off when fully charged.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Power On/Off

• Power On: Press and hold the On/Off/Intercom button for approximately 2 seconds until the LED indicator lights up.

2. Press and hold the Multi-function button until the LED indicator flashes red and blue alternately, indicating pairing mode.
3. On your phone/GPS, enable Bluetooth and search for available devices. Select "FreedConn FX PRO" from the list.

4.3. Mesh Intercom Pairing

The FX PRO features an advanced Bluetooth Mesh Gateway for intelligent group communication.

1. Power On Units: Switch on all main Bluetooth units (FX PRO devices) you wish to pair by pressing the On/Off/Intercom button for 2 seconds simultaneously.
2. Initiate Mesh Search: After turning on, long press the MESH (pairing) button on all units for 2 seconds simultaneously. The units will announce "Search network" and automatically search and pair with each other.
3. Connection Confirmation: Once connected, the units will announce "Multi-person intercom is connected" and then "Mesh pairing done."
4. Managing Mesh Access: If you do not want a third person to join the network, you can cut off their Mesh network access by clicking the MESH button on either FX PRO unit. A "Beep" sound indicates Mesh access is turned off. To make the Mesh network public again, click the MESH button again. "Beep, beep" indicates Mesh access is turned on.

4.4. Pairing with Other Brand Intercoms

The FX PRO can also pair with intercoms from other brands by entering a compatibility mode.

Refer to the video for detailed steps on how to turn the FX PRO to "Compatibility Mode" for pairing with other brand intercoms or other FreedConn models.

4.5. AI Voice Commands

The FX PRO features advanced AI voice recognition for hands-free control.

To use AI commands, you must first wake up the FX PRO with a wake-up word. The default wake-up words are:

Once activated, you can use the following command words:

• Music Control: "Previous song", "Next song", "Play music", "Pause playback"

4.7. Audio Mixing Function

The Mesh intercom features an audio mixing function. This allows you to talk via intercom and listen to music, navigation broadcasts, or FM radio simultaneously. During intercom, the navigation broadcast/FM radio/music playback volume is automatically lowered but will not stop, ensuring you can hear both audio sources without significant interference.
