Q: What is the Intercom button for on the MIDLAND BT2?

The Intercom button on the MIDLAND BT2 is the central button that allows you to activate or deactivate the Intercom function. This function establishes a direct communication between two BT2 devices , ideal for a rider and a passenger or two motorcyclists up to 200 meters in open field. Manual mode usage: A brief press of the Intercom button activates communication (you will hear 1 confirmation tone). A new press deactivates the Intercom (2 confirmation tones). Communication remains active as long as you wish until you press the button again to interrupt it. VOX mode usage (voice activation): By default, the Intercom operates in VOX mode (voice activation). Just speak for the Intercom to activate automatically. Communication automatically deactivates after 60 seconds of silence or immediately if you press the Intercom button. Advanced controls with the Intercom button: Holding the button for about 3 seconds turns on the device (flashing blue light). Holding it until a steady red light appears (about 3 seconds) while the device is off allows you to enter configuration mode (Setup). Outside of setup mode, holding for 3 seconds allows you to exit this mode. Communication priority: The Intercom has a medium communication priority. It overrides Bluetooth MP3 players and other low-priority devices, but automatically yields to phone calls and GPS instructions. Once the call or GPS instruction is finished, the Intercom automatically reactivates. VOX configuration: You can adjust the VOX sensitivity to 4 levels (very low, low, medium, or high) to adapt voice activation to the noise of your motorcycle and helmet. It is also possible to completely disable VOX to use the Intercom only in manual mode. These settings are adjusted via the device's Setup mode.

Question 2

How to activate pairing mode on the MIDLAND BT2?

Accepted Answer

To activate pairing mode on your MIDLAND BT2, you must first completely turn off the device, then press and hold the central button (Intercom) for about 7 seconds until the red light stays on permanently (fixed). You are now in Setup mode (pairing). This Bluetooth 2.0 stereo device supports pairing with various types of devices: phones, GPS navigators, stereo MP3 players, and even a second BT2 for intercom function.

Once in Setup mode (fixed red light), select the type of device to pair:

Phone or GPS: Press and hold the Phone button until the light alternates rapidly between red and blue. Activate Bluetooth search on your phone or GPS, look for “Midland BT2”, select it, and enter the pairing code 0000 (four zeros). The red and blue light will continue to blink for about 2 minutes. Once paired, you will return to Setup mode (fixed red light).
MP3 player or Bluetooth device: Press and hold the AUX button until the light alternates rapidly between red and blue. Activate pairing mode on your MP3 player, look for “Midland BT2” and enter the code 0000.
Two BT2s together: Put both BT2s in Setup mode. On the first one, press and hold the Volume+ button until the red-blue alternation; on the second one, press and hold the Volume- button until the red-blue alternation. Both devices will automatically synchronize.

Important: you can only pair one phone OR one GPS (as they both have priority 1). If you want to use both, first pair the phone directly with the GPS, then pair the GPS with the BT2. The Bluetooth search procedure lasts about 2 minutes; if no device is found, the BT2 will automatically return to Setup mode. If you wish to cancel before the end of the 2 minutes, press the Intercom button twice.

To exit pairing mode and use the device normally, press and hold the Intercom button for about 3 seconds until the red light turns off and the blue light starts blinking regularly. You can then use your BT2 in normal operating mode with an intercom range of up to 200 meters in open field and a battery life of 8 hours in conversation.
