If needed, you can enable/disable the VOX feature simply by pressing the Backward button for 7 sec. A voice announcement will advise you when the VOX is disabled. To turn the VOX on again, just press the same button and a voice announcement will advise you that the VOX is now active/deactivated. This setting is remembered also if you turn o the unit. Attention: The Voice activation (VOX) can open the intercom communication only to the unit that was paired with the Middle button. If you choose to use a dierent button (Forward or Backward ), you will be able to active the intercom only manually. Adjusting the volume Your Midland BTX1 PRO S uses AGC technology, which automatically adjusts the listening volume in relation to background noises. However, it is also possible to manually adjust the volume by means of the “Volume +” and “Volume -“buttons. The volume setting is indipendent for each audio source: intercom, stereo music, phone call, FM radio. Attention: volume can be adjusted only when an audio connection is active. Set up of the AGC system To adjust the sensitivity of the AGC system you can use the ”BT PRO UPDA- TER” Pc Software or the smartphone “BT SET-APP” application. You can choose dierent set up based on your motorbike type (naked, touring, sport) or if you are riding as a passenger. Attention: you can disable the AGC system pressing “Volume +” and “Volume -” together for 3 sec. How to pair the Midland BTX1 PRO S to more than two units One Midland BTX1 PRO S unit can be paired to maximum three other BT units. The Midland BTX1 PRO S has three main buttons (Forward, Middle and Rear). To pair the devices, use the Central or Backward button. The same button you will use to pair the unit will be also used to open/close the intercom communication. For example you can pair your passenger to the Middle button and other motorbikers to the Backward and Forward button. Everytime you open the “Intercom” connection to one person, the previous connection will be closed. The connection is not a “chain”, when two persons are talking it is not possible to break (interrupt) the communication by one of the other units.

Hint: this feature is very useful when you have a specific person that you like to talk to more often (for example your passenger). In this way you don’t need to press a button to open the communication. Unit already busy in a conversation If you try to open an intercom connection to another person that is already talking with some one else (or is in a middle of a phone conversation), you will hear a “busy” double beep tone. Just wait sometime and try again, maybe this time the “line” is not busy. The person who is called, will be advised that someone is trying to call and will hear a voice announcement with the number of the button from which the request is coming. In this way as soon as the first conversation is over, the person can easily con- tact the caller by opening the intercom of the specific button number (indica- ted by the voice announcement). Conference The “Conference” mode allows the communication with three people simulta- neously. The Midland BTX1 PRO S unit can work as usually, with “one to one” communication up to 3 people (“classic” Intercom mode) or with 3 people conference intercom (Conference mode). How to use the conference mode First of all you need to pair all the units in a “chain” mode, second the “Confe- rence” feature must be active on the central unit.

Pairing To use the Conference feature up to 3 people, the three devices must be pai- red in a “chain” configuration. Pair the Forward button of the BTX1 PRO S in the middle to the Backward button of BTX1 PRO S (1). Pair the Backward button of the BTX1 PRO S in the midddle to the Forward button of the BTX1 PRO S (3). See picture. The first and third devices must NOT be paired each other (the chain must not be closed) and can be other Midland units. Only for BTX1 PRO, BTX1 FM and BTX2 FM you have to use the Central button.

In any mode (no matter which mode is activated) and no active audio, keep pressed the Central and Forward buttons for 3 seconds. The voice announce- ment “Conference” will tell you that it is active. When the Conference mode is active the “Phone” mode is not available be- cause all the devices paired on Vol+ and Vol – are temporary disconnected to guarantee the stability of the conference mode. How to use the conference mode When the conference mode is active, is possible to open the intercom com- munication pressing both the FWD and BWD button. “One Click Talk” function When the conference mode is active, it is possible to open the intercom com- munication to all users just in “one click”.

Attention: when the “conference” mode is active, the “Talk2All- Universal Inter- com” (to talk with not Midland brand intercom) is not available. Also if one unit was paired on the CTRL (middle) button, it is temporary una- vailable, you need to disable the “Conference” mode and go back to the stan- dard “one to one” Intercom mode. Universal Intercom Talk 2 All, with dierent brand unit.
