Description of the unit and installation brackets Description of the BT1 unit The BT1 has 5 multifunction buttons on the front and 3 wired connections in the lower section. Description of the button features: › Telephone (for driver’s unit only): can be used to enable/ disable and manage mobile phone features › Intercom: can be used to enable/disable the Intercom fea- ture › AUX: can be used to enable/disable the wired audio input › Volume+: enables you to increase the volume › Volume -: enables you to decrease the volume Description of the wired connections › Charger jack: enables to recharge the unit using a stan- dard miniUSB power supply › Audio kit jack: enable to connect an audio kit (stereo head- set and microphone) › Auxiliary audio jack (AUX): can be used to connect an audio source, like a stereo iPod/MP3 player or PMR446 transceiver Description of the audio kit The audio system includes two ultra-at stereo speakers and two interchangeable microphones, which are both supplied with a bracket and wire connection. Fixing the stereo speakers. The two stereo speakers have a Velcro/adhesive strip that aids their xing to your helmet. Beware to not completely cover your ear with the speakers, you must always be able to listen to the trafc sound and indication. The microphone can be xed onto the helmet in two ways: Boom Microphone. Place the section with the Velcro/adhe- sive strip between the padding and the rigid cover of the hel- met, so that the microphone is correctly positioned in front of your mouth and that the white symbol is facing your mouth. This type of microphone is suited for Open Faced and Flip Front helmets. Wire microphone. Using the Velcro/adhesive strip, place the microphone inside the helmet in front of your mouth. This type of microphone is more suited for Full Faced helmets. The mini connector on the microphone allows you choose the micro- Charger Audio kit iPod/MP3 PMR446 Phone (for driver’s unit only Intercom AUX Volume + Volume - Red and blue light5

phone that best suits the helmet you are using. The audio kit must then be connected to the central jack of the Midland BT1 Intercom unit using the “L” shaped connec- tor. This connector is very exible and can be easily adapted to most commercial helmets. Description of the installation brackets The Midland BT1 can be xed onto the helmet in two different ways: By either using the plate with bi-adhesive strip, or the clamp. These methods allow you to safely “x” the BT1 unit onto your helmet and to remove it at any time in order to recharge or store it. Plate with bi-adhesive strip The xing plate has a bi-adhesive strip on one of its sides. To x the plate in place, clean the application area on the helmet surface, remove the bi-adhesive lm and place the xing pla- te on the helmet by keeping it contact with the surface for a few seconds. Clamp Using the Allen Key, loosen the two screws on the clamp and place the rear plate between the helmet padding and the ex- ternal rigid protection. Then, tighten the two screws in order to rmly x the clamp in place. Fitting and removing your Midland BT1 The BT1 can be easily tted onto the helmet by sliding it downwards so that it ts into the slot of the selected xing device (plate with bi-adhesive strip or clamp). BT1 is maintained in position thanks to the xing clip located on the upper section (A). To detach the BT1, simply press the xing clip and push the unit upwards.6

1. MIDLAND BT1, “Driver only”

› Bluetooth connection for mobile phone or GPS (in case of mobile phone with MP3 feature, you can li- sten to music in stereo mode) › Wired connection for iPod/MP3 player or with a tran- sceiver for bike-to-bike communications up to a di- stance of 5km

2. Midland BT1, “Driver and Pillion”.

› Rider to Pillion intercom feature › Bluetooth connections for the driver: Mobile phone or GPS and pillion’s device for Inter- com communications (in case of mobile phone with MP3 feature, the driver can listen to music in stereo mode). Bluetooth connections for the pillion: › none; only with the driver’s unit for Intercom commu- nications. Typical congurations of BT1 Switching your Midland BT1 on and off BT1 can be switched on by means of the central button la- beled “Intercom”. To switch off the unit you must use a combination of two buttons (intercom+AUX), thus lessening the chances that you might turn off the unit accidentally (especially whilst wearing heavy gloves). Switching the unit on: › Press and hold Intercom button down for approximately 3 seconds until the BLUE indicator lights. Switching the unit off: › Press and hold both “Intercom” and “AUX” buttons toge- ther for approximately 3 seconds until the RED indicator ashes 3 times.7

Pairing with Bluetooth devices Your Midland BT1 is a Bluetooth unit that can be paired with other Bluetooth devices. Before performing this procedure, it is necessary to set BT1 into “Pairing mode” (Setup). The only operations permitted in this mode are the pairing ones. To use the BT1 unit after pairing it with the desired de- vices, it is necessary to quit the “Setup” mode and switch to the “Operating” mode. Setup mode Switch off the BT1 device. Press and hold down the central button (Intercom/on) for about 7 sec. until the red indicator switches on permanently. BT1 is now in “Setup” mode and can therefore be paired with other devices. Pairing the unit with the pillion’s device The two units supplied in the kit, are already paired and ready for use, which means that it is not necessary to perform this procedure. If the devices are not part of the same kit, you need to pair them in order to be able to use the Intercom function. Place both BT1 units in Setup mode (red indicator permanen- tly on) Press the “Volume +” button on the rst unit until the RED and BLUE lights begin to ash rapidly and alternately. Then press the “Volume –“button on the second unit until the RED and BLUE lights begin to ash rapidly and alternately. Now both BT1 units are trying to pair to each other. When successfully paired, each device will light the BLUE light for 1 sec and go back to setting mode (red light always on) waiting for additional pairing or setting procedures. Pairing the unit with a mobile phone - only for the driver’s device

1. Enable the Bluetooth device search feature on your mobile

phone. As this procedure varies according to the brand and model of the mobile phone, refer to the manual supplied to your particular phone for further information.

2. Set the BT1 unit in “Setup” mode, then press the “Phone”

button on the unit until the red and blue indicators start ashing.

3. After a few seconds the mobile phone will display “Mid-

land BT1”. Select it and follow the instructions provided in your mobile phone manual to accept the pairing. When prompted, enter the pairing code, which is 0000 (four zero- es). Your mobile phone should then display a conrmation message if the pairing operation has been successfully completed (In case of error message, complete anyway the procedure, exit the “setup” mode and try to use the BT1 with your phone). 4 The BT1 unit returns to the Setup mode (red indicator per- manently on) to indicate that it is ready to be paired with other devices If you pair the BT1 unit with a mobile phone, you will not be able to pair it with a GPS Sat-Nav, because both these devi- ces are assigned (high) priority 1. This problem can be easily solved by pairing your mobile phone directly with your GPS Sat-Nav and then pairing the GPS with your Midland BT1 using the above procedure. In this case, the mobile phone features will be managed by the GPS Sat-Nav. Pairing the unit with a GPS Sat-Nav - only for the driver’s unit It is generally possible to pair the BT1 unit with all GPS Sat- Navs that support Bluetooth earpieces. Midland BT1 has been successfully tested for use with GPS ZUMO Sat-Navs manufactured by Garmin and TOMTOM Ri- der 1 and 2 Sat-Navs.

1. On your GPS Sat-Nav, enable the Bluetooth earphone

search feature. As this procedure varies according to the brand and model of GPS, we recommend you refer to the manual supplied with your GPS Sat-Nav for further infor- mation.

2. Ensure that the BT1 is in Setup mode (Red light on) &

Press the “Phone” button on the BT1 unit until the red and blue indicators start to ash.

3. After a few seconds the GPS Sat-Nav will display “Midland

BT1”. Select it and follow the instructions provided in the GPS Sat-Nav manual to accept the pairing. When prom- pted, enter the pairing code, which is 0000 (four zeroes). The GPS should then display a conrmation message if the pairing operation has been successfully completed.

4. The BT1 unit returns to the Setup mode (red indicator per-

manently on) to indicate that it is ready to be paired with other devices. If you pair the BT1 unit with a GPS Sat-Nav, you will not be8 able to pair it with a mobile phone, because both these devi- ces are assigned (high) priority 1. This problem can be easily solved by pairing the mobile pho- ne directly with the GPS Sat-Nav and by then pairing your GPS with the Midland BT1. In this case, the mobile phone features will be managed by the GPS Sat-Nav. Resetting all paired devices Sometimes you may nd it necessary to delete all the pairing references stored in the BT1 unit (reset operation). To perform this operation, simultaneously press and hold down the “Volume +” and “Volume –“ buttons for 4 seconds. The Blue Light will be lit on for 1 sec. This procedure deletes all the paired Bluetooth devices sto- red in the memory and it is therefore possible to start a new “clean” pairing session. Exiting from the Setup mode After you have paired the desired Bluetooth devices, you must quit the “Setup” mode in order to be able to use your BT1. Press and hold the Intercom button (centre button) for 3 se- conds. The red indicator switches off and the blue one starts to ash. You can now use your BT1. Reconnecting the unit to bluetooth devices After successfully pairing your devices, you can switch them off and on without having the repeat the pairing procedure. If a connection failure occurs between the two devices (for example because one device is switched off or you are not within the maximum range), it is not necessary to repeat the pairing procedure. Simply switch the device on again or move within the maxi- mum range. If the connection cannot be re-established auto- matically, select the device from the “devices menu” of your Bluetooth device (for example mobile phone, GPS, etc…) and re-enable the connection. Adjusting the volume Your Midland BT1 uses AGC technology, which automatically adjusts the listening volume in relation to background noise. However, it is also possible to manually adjust the volume by means of the “Volume+” and “Volume -“buttons. For example, you can manually adjust the maximum volume in very noisy environments (for example when travelling at high speeds), to allow the AGC automatic system to change the volume and use the manually set volume as maximum setting. This operation is useful because each type and stan- dard of helmet is inuenced in different ways by wind and background noise. Using the features of the bluetooth devices Using the intercom feature To use the Intercom feature, be sure both units are turned on and correctly paired together. Priority: Intercom communications always have a hi- gher priority, compared to other communications, with the only exceptions being Telephone and GPS Sat-Nav. Therefore, the Intercom feature automatically disables all other communications. The Intercom feature is disabled only when an incoming call or voice communication is received from the GPS Sat-Nav, and is automatically re-enabled as soon as these communi- cations end. Attention: some mobile phone release the line after a few seconds, which means that the Intercom feature may not be immediately available. The Intercom feature can be enabled in two ways: Manual activation: › Press “Intercom” button, on one of the two units. Commu- nication is enabled and remains active until you press the “Intercom” button again. You will hear 1 audio tone when the Intercom feature is enabled and 2 audio tones when it is disabled. Voice activation (VOX): › This is the default enabling mode. To start an Intercom communication, simply start talking. The communication9

will remain active for all the time you are talking. If there is no conversation, the Intercom feature is automatically disabled after 20 seconds. To re-enable it, simply start talking again. When the Intercom is “VOX” activated, you can decide to disable it before the predened time, simply by pressing the Intercom button once. › To disable the voice enabling mode, follow the instructions provided in the “Special congurations” section. Attention: when you use the Intercom feature, the rst time you activate it (voice or manual) the communication will be established with a short delay because of the fact that the devices must rst recognize each other. After that the communication will be immediately established. Two Midland BT1 units can communicate up to a maximum range of approximately 10 meters outdoors. Using the telephone feature To use the Telephone feature, be sure the units are correctly paired together, following the pairing procedure described in section “Pairing the unit with a mobile phone”. Attention: information provided in this section refers to the establishment of a direct communication between the mobile phone and the BT1 unit. If the mobile phone is connected via the GPS Sat-Nav, the mobile phone featu- res can only be managed via the GPS itself. Priority: Calls are always private and have a high priority, which means that all other communications are tempo- rarily disabled when a call arrives and automatically re- enabled once the call ends. Answering a call When you hear the phone ring, you can answer in two diffe- rent ways: Vocally: Simply say one word to answer the call and start talking. Re- membering that you can only do this if you answer the call after the third Ring. (Be aware that some phones may not support voice answering) Manually: Tap the “Phone” button and start speaking. Attention: Remember that you can answer the call only after the third Ring. Rejecting a call If you don’t wish to answer, you can let the mobile phone ring or press the “Telephone” button for a few seconds (you will hear one audio conrmation tone). Making a call There are several ways to make a call. From the mobile keypad: Dial the number on the mobile keypad: › Press “Send” on the mobile phone. › This way of calling should never be carried out whilst in charge of a moving vehicle. To redial the last number: › Press and hold “Telephone” button for 3 seconds in order to redial the last number (you will hear one audio conrma- tion tone). To make a voice call: › Briey press “Telephone” button. If your mobile phone sup- ports voice calls, you will be asked to spell the name of the contact you wish to call. The correct operation of this feature depends on the type of helmet used (Open or closed faced) and on the speed you are travelling at. We suggest you perform a few tests to de- termine the best settings for you as an individual. Attention: if you are listening to music with the MP3 Pla- yer of your mobile phone, you will not be able to use the “Dial last number” and “Voice call” commands, because these buttons are used to control the MP3 player. There- fore, if you want to make a call, you must rst disable the music by pressing the “Intercom” button for 1 second (you will hear two audio conrmation tone) before ma- king the call. Ending a call There are several ways to end a call: › Wait for the called person to end the call. › Press the Telephone” button for 3 seconds (you will hear an audio conrmation tone). › Press “End” button on the mobile phone. (This way of en- ding a call should never be carried out whilst in charge of a moving vehicle) 3-way telephone communications The Intercom feature is temporarily disabled when a phone call is in progress. However, it is possible to add other parties to the conversation by simply enabling the 3-way communi- cation feature. After the initial call has been established, brie- y press the “Intercom” button on the driver’s device (you will hear an audio conrmation tone). To re-establish a private10 conversation, press the “Intercom” button again (you will hear two audio conrmation tones). Using the MP3 player feature of the mobile phone Many mobile phones are now designed to be used as stereo MP3 players. The BT1 driver’s device fully supports the A2DP and AVRCP protocols that enable you to listen to stereo mu- sic and remotely control your mobile phone’s MP3 player. You can even use the buttons on the BT1 unit to control the following play options: Play, Pause, Forward and Backward. Attention: the Bluetooth mobile phone must support the AVRCP protocol. Available controls: › To enable your connected MP3 Player, press and hold down the “Intercom” button for 3 seconds. › To play/pause music, briey press the “Intercom” button. › To skip forward to the next song, briey press the “Telepho- ne” button. › To skip backwards to the previous song, briey press the “AUX” button. › To disable the MP3 player, press and hold down the “Inter- com” button for 3 seconds (2 beeps will conrm it). To open the Intercom communication just talk or , for a ma- nual activation, disable rst the MP3 player , pressing the “In- tercom” button for 3 seconds and than press it again to open the Intercom. The music listening mode has the lowest priority. The- refore, it will always be disabled when another type of communication is enabled. Using the features of your GPS sat-nav To use the features of your GPS Sat-Nav, be sure both units are turned on and correctly paired together, following the pai- ring procedure described in the “Pairing the unit with a GPS Sat-Nav” section. Priority: communications with the GPS Sat-Nav have the hi- ghest priority, which means that the enabling of these com- munications causes the temporary disabling of all other com- munications (Intercom, music or two way radiotransceiver). Once the GPS communications have ended, all other com- munications are automatically reenabled. Listening to voice instructions from your GPS Sat-Nav Trafc directions from your GPS Sat-Nav will always be im- mediately transmitted by temporarily disabling all other acti- ve communications. Once these voice directions have been transmitted, your BT1 will automatically re-enable all existing communications. Listening to music from your GPS Sat-Nav The most popular GPS devices usually enable you to listen to music when no directions are being given. In this case, the communication with the GPS is always active and has the highest priority compared to all other active devices. However, it is possible to enable the Intercom feature at any time, while listening to music, simply by pressing the “Inter- com” button to open a 3 way communication. For further information, see the “3-way communications with the GPS Sat-Nav” section below. Using a mobile phone with a GPS Sat-Nav If you have connected a GPS Sat-Nav to your Midland BT1, you will not be able to connect the mobile phone directly to the unit; you must instead, connect the phone to the GPS Sat-Nav. By doing so, all the mobile phone features will be managed directly by your GPS Sat-Nav. For information on how to pair a mobile phone and answer/make calls, see the manual supplied with your particular Sat-Nav. 3-way communications with your GPS Sat-Nav The Intercom feature is temporarily disabled when commu- nication with your GPS Sat-Nav is active (street indication or music).However it is possible to allow the passenger to listen, by enabling a “3-way communication”. When the communication with the GPS is active, briey press the “Intercom” button on the BT1 device connected to the GPS Sat-Nav (you will hear an audio conrmation tone). The11

pillion will now be able to listen to the same information/music that the rider hears. To return to the private mode, press the “Intercom” button once more.(you will hear two audio conr- mation tones). Using the wired audio input Your Midland BT1 is also tted with a wired audio input (labe- led AUX), that can be used to connect a stereo audio source, like an iPod (or any other MP3 Player) or a PMR446 transcei- ver for bike-to-bike communications. Priority: the wired audio input has the lowest priority when compared to the other Bluetooth connections (in- cluding the Intercom) and will therefore always be disa- bled when another Bluetooth communication is opened. Listening to music To listen to music from the wired input, connect the audio source using the cable supplied with the BT1 unit. The volu- me level is automatically adjusted by the AGC system, which means that you only need to adjust the volume of your iPod/ MP3 player to a level that will allow you to listen to music in normal speed. Attention: never set the volume of the MP3 Player to the maximum possible. Hint: We recommend that you perform a few tests adjusting the volume of your iPod/MP3 player so at the normal speed the Headset volume is suited to your needs. The AGC system will automatically increase the volume on higher speed. Make a note to remember this setting for future trips. Attention: the volume adjustment, (“Volume+” and “Vo- lume –“) buttons, cannot be used to adjust the volume of the wired audio source(eg MP3 player), only the volume of the BT1 that the device is connected to. Enabling/disabling the wire input The wire input can be enabled and disabled by means of the “AUX” button. › Disabling: briey press the “AUX” button (you will hear two audio conrmation tones). › Enabling: briey press the “AUX” button (you will hear one audio conrmation tone). Using a Two Way Radio transceiver To be able to use the transceiver, it is necessary to purchase a specic cable (sold separately) in order to connect the radio to your Midland BT1: › NB, Some manufacturers radios use a different pin conguration, so we recommend that you ask your de- aler as to which cable is best suited to your needs To communicate via the attached radio, press the transmis- sion Press To Talk (PTT) button to speak and release it to listen. It is not possible to talk and listen simultaneously. The cable connected to the transceiver has a PTT button that can be placed on the handlebar of your bike or held in your hand (If you are the pillion rider). Adjust the volume of the transceiver to your needs, remem- bering that the volume adjustment is controlled by the auto- matic AGC system and that it will therefore be automatically increased in relation to background noise. Special congurations Some Midland BT1 features can be congured to suit the specic needs of bikers. › Permanently enable 3-way communications › Voice enable Intercom (VOX) Adjust the microphone sensitivity Disable the VOX feature Permanently enabling 3-way communications The music coming from the wired connection is interrupted by default when the Intercom feature is enabled. By enabling this feature, what is heard from the wired con- nection is not interrupted but switched to the pillion’s device. This feature can be useful, for example, if you wish to main- tain Intercom communications and simultaneously talk using a transceiver radio connected with a wired connection. In addition it also allows you to share the music between Rider and Pillion. Considering that the music quality is “mono” for the second person who will share the music (see the chapter “Share the music between driver and passenger” below). Enabling/disabling 3 way communications Enter the Setup mode: › Switch your BT1 off. Press and hold down the central but-12 ton (Intercom/on) until the red light switches on permanen- tly. Your BT1 is now set in Setup mode. › Simultaneously press and hold down the “Telephone” and “AUX” buttons for at least three seconds. › If the feature was enabled, it will be disabled (steady blue light for 2 seconds). › If it was disabled, it will be enabled (blue light long ashes). › Quit the Setup mode by pressing the “Intercom” button for a minimum of 3 seconds. The red light switches off and the blue light starts ashing. You can now use the BT1. Attention: only the audio/music coming from the device connected by wire can be shared. The music heard via Bluetooth will be interrupted. Enabling the intercom by voice (vox) The Intercom feature can be enabled both manually and vocally (VOX). The VOX activation is inuenced by the background noise and therefore by the speed, type of bike and soundproof features of your helmet. For optimum results, it is possible to choose one of the fol- lowing four microphone sensitivity levels: high, medium, low and very low. The high settings suited for noiseless and pro- tected bikes like scooters and fully faired/screened bikes. The low setting is more suited for naked/noisy bikes. The default setting of BT1 is “medium”. It is also possible to disable the VOX feature in order to acti- vate the Intercom and phone call answering features in ma- nual mode only. Adjusting the sensitivity of the microphone (VOX)

1. Enter the Setup mode: Switch your BT1 off.

Press and hold down the central button (Intercom) until the red indicator switches on permanently. Your BT1 is now in “Set up mode”.

ce sensitivity. Every time you press the Volume buttons the RED light will ash for conrmation. When you reach the end of the upper and lower limit, the RED light will not ash.

4. Press again the AUX button and the Blue light will ash

several times, in order to let you know the selected sen- sitivity: once = VOX disabled / Twice = very low sensitivity / 3 times= low sensitivity / 4 times= medium sensitivity / 5 times = high sensitivity / Default = medium sensitivity

5. The light indicator is now back to steady RED (“Set up

mode”) and the changes are conrmed

6. If needed, you can adjust again the sensitivity repeating

the steps from point 2.

7. Now quit the Setup mode by pressing and holding down

the “Intercom” button for at least 3 seconds. The red light switches off and the blue light starts ashing. You can now use the BT1. Disabling the VOX feature (Intercom and telephone) In addition to the 4 microphone sensitivity levels, there is a fth state that allows you to turn off the VOX feature. Follow the same procedure used to adjust the sensitivity of the mi- crophone (see above) and on step 3 press the “Volume -” to reduce the sensitivity till the RED light stop ashing. Press now the “AUX” button and the Blue light will ash one time, this means that the VOX feature is disabled. Follow now the procedure above from the point 5. To enable it again, perform the complete procedure above, choosing one of the other four sensitivity levels available (from 2 to 5). Recommendations for specic uses The section that follows, provides a few useful suggestions on how to achieve maximum performance from your BT1 unit. Using a PMR446 transceiver with the Intercom feature (Rider to Pillion) If you wish to use a PMR446 transceiver for group commu- nications and simultaneously maintain the Intercom feature enabled between the pilot and passenger, you must remem- ber that the Intercom feature is enabled every time you speak by means of the BT1’s VOX feature. Consequently, radio communications will be disabled whilst you are talking with your pillion, because they have a lower priority compared to Intercom communications. This can be prevented in two ways, which are: Disabling the VOX feature Disable the VOX feature, as explained in the previous sec- tion, to make sure that the intercom will not automatically be activated when you speak on the PMR446. To enable the In-13

tercom feature when using this conguration, you will have to press Intercom button manually. (This operation disables radio communications that will be automatically re-enabled when the Intercom feature is disabled). Attention! If you disable the VOX feature, you will only be able to answer incoming phone calls by pressing the “Phone” button. Permanently enabling 3-way communications If you enable this feature (as explained in the previous sec- tion), every time you talk the Intercom is enabled, but the two- way radio transceiver communications are not disabled. This means that you can share two-way radio communications between Rider and Pillion. Share the music between Rider and Pillion If you wish to share the same music between the Rider and the Pillion you must follow these simple steps: › Connect the music player to the Rider or Pillion unit, via wired connection trough the AUX plug › Enable the “3 way communications feature” (see the chap- ter above) on the unit which has the music player connec- ted › Activate the Intercom, now the music is shared. Attention: Only those who are connected to music by wire can listen to it in stereo mode. Attention: It is not possible to share music if the source is Bluetooth Stereo (A2DP)14
