Setup and Installation

1. Charging the Device

Before first use, fully charge the Yaconob Y3 headset. Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the headset's charging port and a USB power source. The pilot lamp will indicate charging status.

2. Installing the Headset in Your Helmet

1. Attach Speakers: Place the speakers inside your helmet's ear pockets. Use the provided velcro pads to secure them. Ensure speakers are positioned directly over your ears for optimal sound.
2. Position Microphone: Attach the boom microphone to the inside of the helmet, positioning it close to your mouth but not directly in front to avoid wind noise. Secure the cable routing.
3. Mount Main Unit: Clean the exterior surface of your helmet where you intend to mount the main Y3 unit. Attach a velcro mounting patch to the helmet. Then, press the Y3 unit onto the velcro patch. The unit's slightly concave back is designed to conform to helmet curves. Ensure a secure attachment.

1. Power On: Press and hold the On/Off button until the pilot lamp flashes, indicating the device is powered on and in pairing mode.

3. Select Device: Look for "Yaconob Y3" (or similar) in the list of available devices and select it to pair.
4. Confirmation: Once paired, the pilot lamp will change its flashing pattern, and you may hear an audio confirmation.

4. Intercom Pairing (Device to Device)

To use the intercom function between two Y3 units:

1. Ensure both Y3 units are powered on and not connected to any other Bluetooth devices.
2. On both units, press and hold the On/Off button until they enter intercom pairing mode (indicated by a specific light pattern or voice prompt).
3. Once both devices are in intercom pairing mode, they will automatically search and connect to each other. You will hear "Intercom Connected" and the pilot lamp will show a purple breathing light.
