Follow these steps to install your VCOROS VR1 headset into your motorcycle helmet. The installation process is designed for ease and a secure fit.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Helmet: Ensure the helmet's interior is clean and dry where the headset and speakers will be placed.
- Attach Velcro for Main Unit: Peel the backing from the large Velcro pad and firmly attach it to the side of your helmet where the main unit will be mounted.
- Attach Main Unit to Clip: Secure the VR1 main unit to the clip-on base.

- Position Microphone: For the hard microphone, position it so that the microphone head is close to your mouth, typically along the chin bar of a full-face helmet. Use the provided Velcro to secure the microphone boom.
- Connect Components: Plug the speaker and microphone cables into the corresponding ports on the main VR1 unit.
- Route Cables: Carefully tuck all excess cables under the helmet's padding to prevent interference and ensure comfort.
