4. Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the GX10 microphone speaker system into your helmet:
- Prepare Your Helmet: Remove the helmet's inner lining or cheek pads if necessary to access the ear pockets and chin bar area.
- Install Speakers:
- Identify the ear pockets inside your helmet.
- Attach the speakers using the provided adhesive pads or Velcro. Ensure the speakers are centered over your ears for optimal sound.
- Route the speaker wires neatly under the helmet lining to avoid interference or discomfort.
- Install Microphone:
- For full-face helmets, attach the boom microphone to the inside of the chin bar, positioning it close to your mouth but not directly in front to prevent wind noise.
- For open-face helmets, the microphone can be attached to the cheek pad or a suitable flat surface near your mouth.
- Ensure the microphone cable is routed securely and does not obstruct your vision or helmet operation.
- Connect to Main Unit: Plug the microphone and speaker cables into the appropriate ports on your main communication unit (e.g., a Bluetooth intercom system). The GX10 is designed as an accessory for such systems.
- Secure Wiring: Use any provided clips or ties to secure excess wiring, preventing it from dangling or getting caught.
- Reassemble Helmet: Carefully reinsert the helmet lining and cheek pads, ensuring no wires are pinched or exposed.
