CAUTION
Please make sure to take off your 10R-installed helmet while charging. The headset automatically turns off during charging.
4.4 Checking the Battery Level
4.4.1 LED Indicator
When the headset is powering on, the red LED flashes rapidly indicating the battery level.
4 flashes = High, 70 \~ 100%
3 flashes = Medium, 30 \~ 70%
2 flashes = Low, 0 \~ 30%
Note:
- The battery performance may be reduced over time with usage.
- Battery life may vary depending on conditions, environmental factors, functions of the product in use, and devices used with it.
4.4.2 Voice Prompt Indicator
When you power on the headset, keep pressing the Center Button and the (+) Button simultaneously for about 3 seconds until you hear three, high toned beeps.

4.5 Volume Adjustment
You can easily adjust the volume by tapping the (+) Button or the (-) Button. You will hear a beep when the volume reaches the maximum or minimum level. The volume is set and maintained independently at different levels for each audio source even when you reboot the headset. For example, once you set the volume for mobile phone handsfree, it will not change even if you adjust the volume for your Bluetooth MP3 music. However, if you adjust the volume during stand-by mode, it will affect volume levels of every audio source.

WARNING
Use of the product at a high volume for a long period of time may damage your eardrums or hearing ability. Keep the volume at a modest level to prevent damage.

5 PAIRING THE 10R WITH BLUETOOTH DEVICES
Before using the 10R Bluetooth headset with any other Bluetooth devices for the first time, you will need to pair them together. You can pair the 10R with Bluetooth mobile phones, Bluetooth stereo devices such as MP3 players, or motorcycle specific Bluetooth GPS navigation, and with other Sena Bluetooth headsets. The pairing operation is required only once for each Bluetooth device. The headset remains paired with the devices and automatically reconnects to them when they are within range. You will hear a high toned single beep and a voice prompt whenever the headset reconnects to the paired device:
"Phone connected" to a mobile phone, "Media connected" to a Bluetooth stereo device.

- The mobile phone confirms that the pairing has completed and the 10R is ready to use. You will hear a voice prompt, "Your headset is paired".
Note:
- If you have two audio (A2DP) devices connected to your headset then the audio from one device will interrupt the audio from the other device. For example, if you are playing music from the primary mobile phone, then it can be interrupted by playing music from the secondary mobile phone and vice versa.
- You have to use a motorcycle specific GPS, which transmits turn-by-turn voice instructions to the headset by Bluetooth. Most automotive GPS systems do not have this feature.
- The Sena SR10 is a Bluetooth two-way radio adapter for group communication, and uses Hands-Free Profile. The incoming audio from the two-way radio via SR10 is heard in the background while having an intercom conversation or a mobile phone call.
- The GPS navigation or a radar detector could be connected to the SR10 by wire. The GPS voice instruction or the radar detector alarm is also heard in the background via SR10 while having an intercom conversation or a phone call. Please refer to the SR10 User's Guide for details.
5.3 Advanced Selective Pairing - A2DP Stereo or Handsfree
When you are using a smartphone, sometimes you may need to selectively use the 10R for A2DP stereo music only or for mobile phone handsfree only. These instructions are for advanced users who want to pair the 10R to their smartphones with only one selective profile: A2DP for stereo music of HFP for phone calls.
If you have previously paired a mobile phone to the 10R, you must clear the previous pairing list on both devices: the mobile phone and the 10R. To clear the pairing list on the 10R, please do a factory reset or following the pairing list clearing procedure described in section 13.1, "Headset Configuration Setting". To clear the pairing list on the mobile phone, please refer to the mobile phone manual. For most smartphones, delete the Sena 10R from the list of Bluetooth devices in the settings menu.

5.4 Intercom Pairing
5.4.1 Pairing with Other 10R Headsets for Intercom Conversation
The 10R can be paired with up to three other headsets for Bluetooth intercom conversation.
- Turn on the two 10R headsets (A and B) that you would like to pair with each other.
- Press and hold the Center Button for 5 seconds, then you will hear a mid-tone single beep and the voice prompt, "Intercom pairing".
SENA | 10R
- Simply tap the Center Button of any one of the two headsets A or B and wait until the LEDs of both headsets turn to blue and intercom connection is automatically established. The two 10R headsets A and B are paired with each other for intercom conversation. If the pairing process is not completed within one minute, the 10R will return to stand-by mode.

Pairing A & B
- You can make other pairing between headsets A and C, and between headsets A and D by following the same procedure as above.
- The intercom pairing queue is 'Last-Come, First-Served'. If a headset has multiple paired headsets for intercom conversations, the last paired headset is set as first intercom friend. The previous intercom friend becomes second intercom friend, and third intercom friend.
Note:
For example, after the pairing procedures listed above, headset D is the first intercom friend of headset A. Headset C is the second intercom friend of headset A, and headset B is the third intercom friend of headset A.
5.4.2 Pairing with Other Sena Headset Models for Intercom Conversation
The 10R can be paired with all other Sena headset models such as the 20S, SMH10 and the SMH5 for intercom conversation. Please follow the same procedure as above to pair with these headset models.
Note:
The SMH5 cannot participate in three-way or four-way conference intercom with the 10R. The SMH5 has a limited capability of having two-way intercom with other Sena headsets.
6 MOBILE PHONE, GPS, SR10
6.1 Mobile Phone Call Making and Answering

Note:
- If you have two phones connected to your headset and you have an incoming call from the second phone during the call of the first phone, then you may still receive the call from the second phone. In this case, the call from the first phone is on waiting mode. If you end a call, then it will automatically guide you to the first phone call.
- If you have a mobile phone and a GPS connected to your headset, you may not be able to listen to the GPS voice instruction during the phone call.
6.2 Speed Dialing
You can quickly make a phone call by using the voice speed dial menu.
- To enter into the voice speed dial menu, press and hold the (+) Button for 3 seconds and you will hear a mid-tone single beep and a voice prompt saying "Speed dial".

9 THREE-WAY CONFERENCE PHONE CALL WITH INTERCOM PARTICIPANT
- When you have an incoming mobile phone call during an intercom conversation, you will hear a ring tone. You can choose whether to 1) answer the mobile phone call and stop the intercom conversation, or 2) reject the phone call and stay on the intercom conversation.
1) To answer the phone call and stop the intercom conversation, tap the Center Button. The VOX Phone feature does not work if you are connected to intercom. When you hang up the phone call, the intercom will automatically be recovered.
2) To reject the phone call and stay on the intercom conversation, press the Center Button for 2 seconds until you hear a beep.
Unlike other motorcycle Bluetooth headsets, this prevents a user from being dropped out of an intercom conversation by an incoming mobile call.
- When you have an incoming intercom call during a mobile phone call, you will hear 4 high-toned beeps, alerting you that there is an incoming intercom call. You will also hear a voice prompt, "Intercom requested". In this case, the intercom call does not override the mobile call because intercom has lower priority than mobile call. You have to hang up the mobile phone call to make or receive an intercom call.
- You can have a three-way conference phone call by adding an intercom friend to the mobile phone conversation. During a mobile phone conversation, tap the Center Button to invite one of the intercom friends to the mobile phone line. To disconnect the intercom first and go back to your private mobile phone call, terminate the intercom by tapping the Center Button. To end the mobile phone call first and maintain the intercom conversation, tap the Center Button for 2 seconds, or wait for the person on the mobile phone line to end the call.

11 UNIVERSAL INTERCOM
You can have an intercom conversation with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets using the Universal Intercom function. Non-Sena Bluetooth headsets can be connected to the Sena Bluetooth headset if they support the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP). The working distance may differ depending on the performance of Bluetooth headset that it is connected to. In general, it is shorter than normal intercom distance since it uses the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile. The Universal Intercom affects both the phone call connection and the multipoint connection (mostly used for GPS connections for riders). You cannot use a multipoint connection device while you are using the Universal Intercom in case as below.
- If a non-Sena headset does not support a multipoint connection, it cannot use a phone call connection while using the Universal Intercom.
- As for Sena headsets, the Universal Intercom affects the multipoint connection.
- If non-Sena headset (already paired as Universal Intercom with Sena) is turned on, then the multipoint connection is automatically deactivated. And the non-Sena headset is automatically connected to Sena headset as a Universal Intercom. So you cannot use multipoint connection devices such as GPS, while a non-Sena headset is turned on.
- Even though you disconnect the non-Sena headset as a Universal Intercom, it will not automatically restore the multipoint connection. To restore the multipoint connection, you should turn off the non-Sena headset first, then try to connect to multipoint device manually from the device screen or simply reboot the device so that it automatically connects to the Sena headset.
11.1 Universal Intercom Pairing
The 10R can be paired with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets for Bluetooth intercom conversation. You can pair the 10R with only one non-Sena Bluetooth headset so if you pair with a different non-Sena Bluetooth headset, the previous pairing will be removed.
- Turn on the 10R and a non-Sena Bluetooth headset that you want to pair with.
- Press and hold the Center Button for 10 seconds to enter the configuration menu. Tap the (+) Button or the (-) Button until you hear a voice prompt, "Universal intercom pairing". Tap the Center Button to enter into Universal Intercom Pairing mode and the blue LED will flash rapidly and you will hear multiple beeps.
- Perform the operation required for handsfree pairing on the non-Sena Bluetooth headset (refer to the User's Manual for the headsets you want to use). The 10R will automatically pair with a non-Sena Bluetooth headset when each are in pairing mode.
11.2 Two-way Universal Intercom
You can initiate the Universal Intercom connection with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets using the same intercom connection method as you would between other Sena headsets. You may single tap the Center Button to begin an intercom conversation with the first intercom friend, double tap with the second intercom friend, and triple tap with the third intercom friend.
Non-Sena Bluetooth headsets may initiate the Universal Intercom connection, by activating the voice dialer or using the redialing operation. You may also disconnect the existing connection by using the operation to end a call (refer to the User's Manual for the headsets for voice dialer, redialing, and ending a call).
11.3 Three-way Universal Intercom
You may make a three-way Universal Intercom connection with two 10Rs and one non-Sena Bluetooth headset. If the intercom connection is made, all headsets connected cannot use the mobile phone call function since the connection between the headset and the phone is disconnected temporarily. If you disconnect the intercom call, the mobile phone connection is made again automatically so that you can use a mobile phone call function.
- You (A) need to be paired with a non-Sena Bluetooth headset (B) and another 10R headset (C) for the three-way conference intercom.

- Start an intercom conversation with non-Sena Bluetooth headset (B) in your intercom group. For example, you (A) may start a intercom conversation with non-Sena Bluetooth headset (B). The non-Sena Bluetooth headset (B) may also start an intercom call with you (A).

- The other 10R (C) may join the intercom by making an intercom call to you (A).
