Frequently Asked Questions - Econo Sena

How do I pair my phone with the Econo helmet?

To pair your phone, first power off the helmet. Then rotate while pressing the Jog dial clockwise for 5 seconds until you hear 'Phone pairing'. On your phone, search for Bluetooth devices and select 'Econo'. Enter PIN 0000 if prompted.

How to charge the helmet?

Use the supplied USB Power & Data Cable with a 5V USB charger. Plug it into the DC Power Charging & Firmware Upgrade Port. The helmet will charge in about 3 hours. Remove the helmet while charging; the Bluetooth system turns off automatically.

How do I adjust the volume?

Rotate the Jog dial clockwise to increase volume or counterclockwise to decrease. Volume is set independently for each audio source (phone, intercom, music) and is remembered even after reboot.

Can I use the intercom with other Sena headsets?

Yes. Pair two Econo helmets (or with other Sena headsets) by turning both off, then rotating while pressing Jog dial clockwise for 5 seconds until 'Intercom pairing' is heard. Tap the Jog dial on either unit to connect. The intercom range is up to 800 meters.

How do I reset the helmet to factory settings?

Enter the configuration menu by turning off the helmet, then rotating while pressing the Jog dial clockwise for 5 seconds. Rotate until you hear 'Factory Reset', tap the Jog dial to confirm. The helmet will restore defaults and turn off.

How do I clean the helmet?

For the outer shell, use a soft cloth with water. Never use gasoline, solvents, or thinners. The inner lining is removable and can be hand-washed with mild soap at max 30°C (86°F). Let it dry at room temperature.

What should I do if the helmet is too loose?

The helmet must fit snugly. Adjust the chinstrap using the quick-release retention system. If the helmet can be removed when pulled from the back upward and forward, it's not fitted properly. Refer to Section 1.4 of the manual for proper wearing instructions.

1. ABOUT THE ECONO BLUETOOTH HELMET

1.1 General Information

This product is a motorcycle helmet.

Do not use it for any other purpose than riding a motorcycle. If you use the helmet for anything else, it may not provide sufficient protection in an accident.

No helmet can protect the wearer against all possible impact scenarios.

For maximum protection, the helmet must fit properly on the head and its retention strap securely fastened under the chin. With the retention system comfortably but firmly adjusted, the helmet should allow sufficient peripheral vision when secured. If the helmet is too large, it may move on your head while riding. If the helmet can be removed when pulled from the back in an upward and forward direction, it's not fitted properly. This could cause the helmet to obstruct your vision while riding or come off in an accident, resulting in personal injury or death. Please refer to Section 1.4: "Wearing the Helmet" for more details about properly securing and wearing your helmet.

1.5 Pre-Ride Helmet Inspection

1.5.1 Checking the Exterior

Check the helmet regularly for damage. Small, superficial scratches will not impair the helmet's protective qualities. In the case of more serious damage (cracks, dents, flaking and cracking paint, etc.), the helmet should no longer be used.

1.5.2 Checking the Chinstrap

1. Ensure that the chinstrap is properly routed under your chin.

2. To test the chinstrap tension, slip your index finger under the chinstrap and pull. If the chinstrap is loose under the chin, it needs to be tightened. If the chinstrap loosens when you pull on it, the helmet is not properly fitted. Undo the chinstrap completely and try fastening it again, then repeat the test.

3. If you are unable to fasten the chinstrap so that it fits firmly against the chin, check that your helmet is still the right size for you.

Note: Repeat the test after each adjustment.

CAUTION: Never ride with the chinstrap unfastened or incorrectly adjusted. The chinstrap should fit correctly and should not become loose when pulled. The fastener is not correctly closed if the chinstrap becomes loose when pulled.
