Install the Speakers
Identify Left (L) and Right (R) Speakers: The left speaker typically has a shorter cord.

Connect Speakers: Plug the speaker cords into the main unit.

Install the Microphone
Boom Microphone: Position the boom microphone so that the arrow faces your mouth. Attach it to the mounting bracket using the provided Velcro.
Corded Microphone: Place the corded microphone inside the helmet, near your mouth, and secure it with Velcro.
