Installation

Fitting the Headset to your Helmet
Please follow the steps below to fit the headset to your helmet. All necessary accessories required to mount the headset on your helmet have been provided.

1. Fit the headset clip (with the clamp) to the left side of your motorcycle helmet making sure the inside of the headset clip is in between the internal padding and external shell of the helmet.
2. Guide the tabs on the rear of the headset into the visible slots on the headset clip. Push till you hear a click sound and you cannot go any further

NOTE: The multifunction button should be facing to the back of the motorcycle helmet on the left side and should be visible on the exterior of the helmet, when attaching it to the headset clip (with clamp).

3. Alternatively, for helmets with thicker inner paddings such as bicycle helmets, you can use the other headset clip (without the clamp) to fix your headset to the helmet. Peel one side of the 3M™ pad for headset clip and stick it to the smooth surface side of the headset clip. Undo the  other side of the 3M™ pad for headset clip and attach it to the left side of the helmet. Guide the tabs on the rear of the headset into the visible slots on the headset clip. Push till you hear a click sound and you cannot go any further (see next page for images).
   

4. Fit the dual hook and loop pad earphone mounts to the inside (internal padding) of your helmet. It is suggested to put one on either side closest to  your ears. Once you have found the correct position for the earphone mounts, put the felted adhesive pads (for speakers) in its place, remove the adhesive sticker and apply to the inside of your helmet.

5. Once you have fitted both felted adhesive pads (for speakers) to the inside of your helmet, attach the hook and loop earphone mounts to the felted pads.

6. For your convenience two different options of microphones have been included. Position the microphone of choice to the left side of your helmet along the inside wall, closest to the headset and near your mouth.
   NOTE: For the wired boom microphone, the felted adhesive pad is already attached to the microphone. Simply peel the sticker and attach the wired boom microphone to the inside of the helmet. For the other microphone, use one of the two small felted adhesive pads (supplied) to mount onto the inside of the helmet.
   NOTE: Some helmets may contain removable padding on the inside. You may need to run the microphone between the padding to ensure there is enough room inside the helmet.

7. Connect the microphone plug to the socket on the dual hook and loop earphone mounts and then insert the micro USB plug of the dual hook and loop pad earphone mounts to the earphone input located at the bottom of the headset.

8. Tuck any excess cable from the microphone and dual hook and loop earphone mounts inside the helmet
   

NOTE: It is recommended that only a few centimeters of the microphone cable comes out from the headset

Bluetooth® Connection
The Motorcycle Bluetooth® Kit features a wireless Bluetooth® connection enabling calls and music to be streamed directly from compatible devices such as Smartphones, MP3 players and GPS navigation systems. Before using the Bluetooth® connection you must first pair your chosen device. Please follow the steps below to pair and use the Bluetooth® connection.

Pairing your Bluetooth® Enabled Device

1. When connecting the headset to your Smartphone, MP3 player or GPS navigation system; ensure the headset is turned off before connecting via Bluetooth®.
2. With the headset in place and on your ears, press and hold the power/ intercom button for approximately 8 seconds until the LED indicator is flashing (blue and red) and the headset voice prompt says ‘pairing’.
3. Switch on the Bluetooth® functionality on your Bluetooth® device and scan for available connections. The Motorcycle Bluetooth® Kit will be shown in the available connections as ‘EA2306’.
4. When the device discovers ‘EA2306’, select and connect to ‘EA2306’. This process should take a few seconds to connect, enter the password ‘0000’ if required.
5. When the headset and the Bluetooth® enabled device have paired, the headset voice prompt will say ‘connected’. At this stage, the LED indicator will start flashing (blue) at slower intervals.
6. You are now ready to listen to music or make and receive calls from your Bluetooth® enabled device.

NOTE: When using the Bluetooth® connection, always be aware that you may need to adjust the volume on both the headset and the connected device to reach the desired volume level. Please see the table on page 24 for instructions on how to adjust the volume via the headset.

Disconnecting the Bluetooth® Enabled Device
To end the connection between the Bluetooth® enabled device and the headset, follow the steps below.

1. Ensure the headset is turned on (see instructions on page 14) and the LED indicator is flashing blue.

2. Press and hold the power/intercom button for up to 8 seconds until you hear a hang up tone. The Bluetooth® connection with the Bluetooth® enabled device has permanently ended.
   NOTE: After pressing and holding the power/intercom button for approximately 3 seconds the voice prompt will say ‘power off’. At this stage your headset has switched off but the Bluetooth® connection with your Bluetooth® device has not permanently ended yet. Continue to press and hold the power/intercom button for another 5 seconds (i.e., total time of about 8 seconds) for the Bluetooth® connection to permanently end with your Bluetooth® device.

3. To connect a new Bluetooth® enabled device, see pages 14-15 for instructions.
   NOTE: To disconnect the headset from your current Bluetooth® enabled device, open the Bluetooth® settings of your Smartphone, MP3 player or GPS navigation system and disconnect the ‘EA2306′ Bluetooth® connection.

Digital Assistant Ready

The Signify® Motorcycle Bluetooth® Kit supports voice-based digital assistants commonly found in smartphones, tablets, and other Bluetooth® devices

1. Ensure that the headset and your Bluetooth® enabled device are both turned on and paired together (see instructions on pages 14-15).
2. Ensure that the voice-based digital assistant of your device is turned on (follow instructions provided by the manufacturer of the Bluetooth® enabled device to activate the voice-based digital assistant).
3. Next, to interact with the voice-based digital assistant, press and hold the multifunction button on the headset for approximately 2 seconds. Once the headset voice prompts ‘Voice Dial’, you can proceed with giving a voice command to the voice-based digital assistant.

Alternatively, after step 2, you can also use a wake word or group of words such as “Hey Siri” or “Hey Google” or other (based on the ecosystem supported by your Bluetooth® enabled device) to start interacting directly with the voice-based digital assistant.

You can ask the voice-based digital assistant a question or make a request. For example: “How is the weather today” or “Please call mum”.

NOTE: For more details on how to use your voice-based digital assistant, please refer to the instruction manual of your Bluetooth® enabled device.

NOTE: Voice-based digital assistants are undeniably useful, but are best used for simple and quick answers or tasks. As they are still developing, we recommend that you limit the use of this feature when it comes to complex tasks or requests.
