Thank you for choosing Crosscall and for buying this product!
The quick start guide will show you how to get started with your new device.

USING THE X-COMM FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. CHARGE:
   Via X-LINK™: Place the X-LINK™ connector (4) of the X-COMM on a charging device of the X-LINK™* ecosystem, e.g. X-DOCK, X-CAR and X-POWER STATION (see complete list on the crosscall.com website).
   Via USB: Open the waterproof cap (16) and plug in the X-COMM using the USB-C cable provided.
   The LED light will turn red to indicate that the product is charging. The LED indicator gradually fills in until charging is complete and the LED indicator is full. It is possible to recharge the battery even if it is detached from the main X-COMM unit.

2. GETTING STARTED:
   Press and hold the «On/Off & Discreet Mode» button (9) for 5 seconds to turn on the X-COMM. The LED indicator will light up green, and an audible signal followed by a voice indicating «Power On» will activate. All the sound signals can be disabled using the «X-COMM app».

3. CONNECTION:
   Via Bluetooth®: On powering on, Bluetooth® is automatically activated, a voice indicates «Bluetooth® connection». To activate or deactivate Bluetooth®, press the «On/Off & Discreet Mode» button (9) 3 times. A voice will indicate «Bluetooth® on» or «Bluetooth® off». The 2 LEDs will flash alternately green and red. To identify your X-COMM, find the ID on the top right-hand corner of the X-COMM.

   • Option 1: On your device, turn on Bluetooth® and look for the X-COMM in the list of detected devices.
   • Option 2: If your device is equipped with Near Field Communication (contactless technology), place the back of your device near the PTT2 soft button (14).
   • Option 3: With your device, scan thanks to the «X-COMM app» application, the QR code located on the top back of the X-COMM.
     Once paired, you will hear a voice saying «Connected», and you will not be able to pair another smartphone without resetting the X-COMM to factory settings.
     Via cable: Use the X-LINK™ cable and plug the USB-C connector into the USB-C port (12) of the X-COMM, and the X-LINK™ connector to your terminal. Connecting the cable automatically disables Bluetooth®.

4. SHUT DOWN: Press and hold the «On/Off & Discreet Mode» button (9) for 5 seconds to turn off the X-COMM. The LED indicator will light up red, and a voice saying «X-COMM off» will activate.

Communication
Press and hold one of the 2 PPT buttons (3 or 14) throughout the conversation. You will hear a beep to indicate that the communication channel is open. Let go of the button when you have finished. A beep sound will let you know when it is closed.

DISCREET MODE
Briefly press 2 times the «On/Off & Discreet Mode» button (9) to switch off the speaker and the LEDs. The sound can still be heard via the 3.5mm jack. Briefly press 2 times the same button again to reactivate the speaker and the LEDs. A «Discreet Mode Off» voice prompt will tell you that the speaker is activated.

Adjusting the volume
Press the volume + or – button (8) once to increase or decrease the volume by one level (level 0 = 0%: no sound – level 10 = 100%: maximum volume).
Pressing and holding the volume + or – button (8) will continuously decrease (down to 0%) or increase (up to 80%) the sound volume of the X-COMM. The remaining 20% of volume are available by pressing the volume + (8) button twice more.
Each time the volume changes, you will hear a beep. This is a low-volume signal that gradually increases as the volume of the X-COMM increases. At level 8 (80%), the beep is accompanied by a «Be careful» voice prompt. At level 10 (100%), the beep is accompanied by a «Maximum level» voice prompt.

Emergency button
Press and hold the emergency button (6) for 3 seconds. This activates a beep sound followed by a «Emergency» voice prompt.
Bluetooth®
The Bluetooth® system is permanently activated. This is used for pairing with a smartphone up to 2 metres away. Bluetooth® switches off automatically when the X-COMM is connected to a smartphone via the USB C/X-LINK™* cable. The optimal transmission distance between the X-COMM and the smartphone is up to 10 metres.

Battery and indicators
The X-COMM battery is designed to last for 20 hours of intensive use with the sound level at maximum volume (60% standby, 20% transmission and 20% reception). The battery takes about 2 hours to reach 100% charge.
The X-COMM has LED lights (11) which indicate the status of the battery:

• 1 lit bar indicates a battery charge of 25% or less
• 2 lit bars indicate a battery charge between 26% and 50%
• 3 lit bars indicate a battery charge between 51% and 75%
• 4 lit bars indicate a battery charge between 76% and 100%

If you see a single flashing bar, it means the X-COMM needs charging.

Reset the x-comm (factory settings)
To reset your X-COMM to factory settings, and remove the X-COMM from the device it is paired with, press 8 times the «On/Off & Discreet Mode» button (9).

X-comm programming
The X-COMM buttons, alerts, voices, and LEDs are programmed using the «X-COMM app» on your smartphone (Android compatible).
