Installation of headset, main unit, and wireless PTT (Push to talk
button)
The Multi Headset comes with both open and full-face microphones. Choose the
one that you intend to use and plug it into the connector on the cradle.
Please keep the microphone that you are not using in a safe place for future
use. All microphones come with a sponge cover. For a full-face helmet, attach
a soft Velcro disk to the helmet chin bar and a hard Velcro disk to the
microphones. The white dot on the base of the mic faces your mouth.
The headset speakers should already have Velcro on the back casing. Simply apply the soft Velcro disks on the liner of your helmet. Mount them in the indentation of the helmet padding where your ears would line up. Please keep in mind that you need to mount the speakers in a location that is directly next to your ears.
Attach the right speaker (with the longer wire) to the corresponding Velcro disk that you applied on the helmet liner. At- tach the left speaker (with the shorter wire) to the other Velcro disk. For helmets with speaker pockets, simply insert the speakers in each corresponding pocket. If your helmet has a washable lining that pops out, you can tuck the wires behind it.
Insert the 3.5mm plug of the headset into the Rider’s headset jack on the bottom of the cradle.
If you decide to use the handlebar mount PTT button, place the wireless PTT button on the left side handlebar grip
(closest to where your thumb would be) of the motorcycle using the integrated Velcro strip. Next insert the 2.5mm plug into the PTT input in the back of the main unit. (Wired PTT option is for passenger)
Wireless PTT Button for Ride –> Wired PTT Passenger (Option to be purchased separately)

device mode for the X2Slim-P user. It is also the default de
vice mode when you tum the unit on. Unlimited number of ride communicate long as youarealIon

• Depending on your device you can also remotely control your Bluetooth-ready devices with the X2Slim-P.
D| FM Radio| FM Radio allows you to listen to local radio stations.
Rider to Rider helmet communication
The X2 Slim-P can communicate with an unlimited number of riders who are on the same channel. Before riding, everyone must turn their units on and make sure they are on the same main channel and CTCSS Talk Group sub-tone (if enabled). In order to transmit to other riders, you must use the handlebar mount PTT button or the PTT on the unit. Once you talk, everyone on your channel will hear you. Only one person at a time can talk. It is a good idea to use the word “over” or “roger” when done talking. This way others will know that they can now say something back. It is strongly suggested that you practice talking back and forth in your house before actually using on a ride. This way you can get a feel of what to expect.
Power On/Off
Press and hold the power button. You will notice that the LCD display will
turn on. To power the unit off, press and hold the power button until you hear
the beep. A quick Press & Hold of the power button will also turn off the
Button Lock when you have turned on the Button Lock setting.
Set volume level
Set the desired volume level by turning the Control Knob
Choose a channel for the group
To be able to communicate with a group, all riders must be on the same channel
and talk group with the same CTCSS subtone (if it is in enabled. The
instructions on how to set a channel and talk group can be found on the table
below.
Tap Control Knob to select your mode| MODE selected|

Tap the knob 2 time| Talk Group (CTCSS)| Tum the control Knob until the desired CTCSS tone/ channel is found between 0~38.
Tap the control Knob to set the channel. If you choose “O” there no TCSS Tone/Talk Group. Tap the PTT button to exit the settings menu.
Main Channels 8-15 are GMRS frequencies as shown in the table below. GMRS frequencies will provide the most range for yourX2 Slim-p communicator, up to 5 miles. Main Channels 1-7 and 16-22 operate on FRS frequencies and have a maximum range of 2 miles. Use these channels to communicate to FRS-type radios.

Side tone
When transmitting by using PTT or voice activation you will hear yourself in
your own speakers. This is called side tone. The side tone is what tells you
that your microphone is working.
Using the voice activation feature (VOX)
The voice activation feature (VOX) is what allows you to communicate to other
riders without using the PTT. This feature can work very well, but does need
patience and understanding. In order to activate VOX feature, press and hold
the Control Knob until the unit beeps three times and the voice prompt says
“VOX on”. To adjust the VOX sensitivity, place the unit into communication
mode. Then short press the Control Knob until the voice prompts says ”VOX”.
Turn the Control Knob until the desired sensitivity is achieved. Setting 1 has
the highest sensitivity. Setting 5 has the lowest sensitivity.
Rider-to-Passenger Communication
The X2 Slim-P does not require a separate unit or a phone for a passenger to communicate with the rider and others. In order to connect a passenger, you must purchase an additional headset and extension cord. Please contact a dealer near you or call customer service.
Listening to Rider-to-Rider helmet communication
When connected, passengers can listen, but cannot communicate with other
riders.
Rider and Passenger only communication
This unit allows a rider and passenger to communicate in private without the
need for an additional unit. You will need to purchase an additional pair of
ChatterBox Universal Headsets and the ChatterBox extension cable. In order to
activate this feature, double press the Control Knob, turn the Control Knob
clockwise, and press the Control Knob to lock in this mode. This should open a
connection between rider and passenger for communications.
Bluetooth feature with audio control
The X2 Slim-P is equipped with a Bluetooth transmitter that allows you to pair up to 2 Bluetooth devices simultaneously. Not all Bluetooth devices will pair 2 at a time with the X2 Slim-p unit. When pairing two devices, Bluetooth only permits 1 handsfree device and 1 audio device. You cannot pair 2 audio devices and you cannot pair 2 hands-free devices. It will only allow 1 of each kind. An example of a hands-free device is a cell phone. An example of an audio device is an iPOD/MP3 player with a Bluetooth* adapter. Please note some Smartphones (iPhone and Android phones) take up BOTH devices when paired to the X2 Slim-P.
This is why you will be able to listen to music and answer the phone from a smartphone. These phones do not have the option to disable this. Some motorcycle-specific GPS devices also take up both devices when paired. This is why you can listen to music, hear your voice-prompted directions, and answer your phone through them.
- When two devices are paired with X2Slim-P they do not work simultaneously. Bluetooth connection works only one at a time.
Bluetooth feature
The Bluetooth feature will allow you to listen to music, and GPS directions,
and/or answer phone calls wirelessly.

Priority
The table shown below summarizes the priority among different devices. When
you are in Bluetooth* device mode, the navigation direction and phone calls
get priority over the music. This means that when a phone call is answered the
music will be paused. As soon as the call ends, the music will play again. The
same thing applies to fellow rider communication. When you hear
communication, the music will pause. After the communication is finished the
music will automatically come back.

Troubleshooting
Questions | Answers |
---|
While using voice activation, the transmission is cut out while trying to
communicate to other riders| Position the white dot on your microphone
directly in front of your lips and speak without pausing. The closer the
microphone is to your lips, the clearer you can transmit.
I don’t hear group communication| Make sure you are on the same channel and
talk group.
The transmission range is shorter than claimed
| Radiofrequency can be affected by your surroundings (ie: foliage, power
lines, hills, canyons, and buildings. Those obstacles will reduce the maxi
mum transmission range. Even weather makes a difference. Maximum range is a
direct line of sight to the person you are speaking with.
I can hear too much surrounding noise while hearing the transmission from
other group members| Add foam or cotton directly to the tip of the microphones
and place the wind sock sponge over it.
I can not listen to music from my Bluetooth-enabled MP3 player after I paired
it with X2 Slim-P| Allow up to 30 seconds for the devices to pair and the
music should auto- matically start playing through the headset. If this does
not occur after 30 seconds, turn off the unit and follow the steps again from
the beginning.
