USE & CARE

Please follow all operating guidelines and parameters of the audio source device with which you are using the speakers.
Keep the speakers clean and dry.
Do not attempt to disassemble the speakers, or alter and modify the wires.
Do not drop, knock, or shake the speakers.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the speakers.

CAUTION

It is dangerous to ride a motorcycle or engage in sports activities while being unaware of your surroundings.
Only use your XSound 4 Helmet Speakers at volume levels at which you can remain alert of what’s around you. Please check your state and federal laws for using helmet audio while operating a motorized vehicle.
Do not operate your audio source device at high audio volumes when using XSound 4 Helmet Speakers.
Hearing experts advise against continuous exposure to high volume levels. If you experience ringing in your ears, discontinue using the speakers.

USING XSOUND4

The XSound 4 is a precision-crafted audio product. Therefore, they need to be installed precisely in contact and centred on your ears for accurate sound projection. ANY GAPS AND POOR POSITIONING WILL RESULT IN POOR AUDIO QUALITY AND
VOLUME FROM WIND AND OTHER AMBIENT NOISES.
The XSound 4 was designed and tested for use with the IASUS BMH Helmet Comm System, BMT Throat Mic, Stealth Throat Mic, Rekon Helmet Comm System, NT5 Throat Mic and Mobile Amplifiers, as well as smartphones, and digital media players equipped with a 3.5mm jack.
IASUS does not directly support using the XSound 4 with a non-IASUS Bluetooth motorcycle headset. Please use at your own risk.

BEFORE INSTALLING XSOUND4

We strongly recommend testing your speakers outside of your helmet first before installing them by doing the following:
Connect the XSound 4 directly to your smartphone’s 3.5mm jack (or dongle adaptor).
Hold the speakers in contact and centred on your ears while testing the audio. ANY GAPS WILL COMPROMISE
THE AUDIO QUALITY AND VOLUME.
Adjust the position of the speakers on your ears until the audio sounds the best. Remember their positions.

INSTALLING XSOUND4

Wipe away any dust or debris on the surface where the XSound 4 will be installed.
Peel apart the Velcro adhesives (B1/B2) to reveal the loop and hook halves. They arrive in the box attached.
Peel away the backing paper on the loop piece (B1). Attach the loop piece to your helmet.
Peel away the backing paper on the hook piece (B2). Attach the hook piece onto the back of the XSound 4.
Place the XSound 4 (A) onto the velcro piece inside the helmet.
Repeat steps 1-5 for the other side.
Tuck the wires behind the helmet padding for a tidy installation.
Connect the XSound 4 to your audio source device. Use the 3.5mm Extension Cable (F) if necessary.

TESTING THE INSTALLATION

Ensure the XSound 4 helmet speakers are once again fully contacting your ears and centred on them after putting your helmet on. If they are not centred, reposition the XSound 4 inside your helmet.
If they do not make good contact, place a Foam Pad Spacer (C) in between the helmet and the XSound 4.
For an increase in comfort, try placing the Comfort Fit Covers (E) over the Foam Covers (D).

EAR TAB

You may sometimes find that after putting on your helmet, your ears may be folded against the speakers. This will prevent the XSound 4 from making full contact on them, resulting in poor audio quality and lower volume. To remedy this, IASUS has included the Ear Tab.
To use, insert the tab on either side of your helmet’s eye-port. Slide it between the XSound 4 and the folded ear until it is unfolded.
For easy transport, the Ear Tab can be conveniently secured to your keys with the included key chain fob.
