Installation Process

HS1 can be installed on any full face, half face or modular helmet.

Note – Please spend a few minutes reading the instructions before you start the installation process.

Installation Steps
Before you install the headset, you need to remove the helmet inner side padding to reveal the speaker slots.

Note : Most helmets provide a speaker slot. If your helmet does not have a speaker slot, you will need to push the ear-piece into place on the EPS
(Thermocol) layer.

Take the helmet speakers along with the velcro stickers and locate the slots provided inside the helmet. Attach the sticker first and then attach the speakers. You can use the additional spacers to ensure the speakers are both centerd and close enough to your ears. You can adjust this position later when you test the audio output. Next run the boom mic along the left inner surface of the helmet shell or chin bar if it is a full-face helmet and adjust it such that the mic end of the unit is close to your mouth, the buttons should be facing you such that the buttons are accessible with the thumb of your left hand and the mic oriented towards your mouth.

The main way to secure the unit in place is by using the gooseneck clip. This part has a velcro sticker that allows you to anchor the headset using the gooseneck. This also allows you to adjust the position of the device by sliding the device along the gooseneck.
In most cases the gooseneck clip is all that you need to mount the unit, however you can also anchor the device with the battery compartment as a secondary mounting point. To do this, use the additional velcro sticker provided in the kit that matches the profile of the battery compartment. Once you find the right spot on the shell after trying out the helmet, you can place the battery compartment, stick the velcro sticker and apply it in place. You can adjust the flexible stem of the mic to suit your comfort and audio performance.

Positioning for optimum performance.
Remember the mic will perform poorly if it is placed oriented outward, directly facing the wind. We recommended you adjust to suit your specific helmet. Make a few test calls and check with the person on the other side if they are able to hear you clearly, twist / move the mic position such that the performance is optimal. It is also recommended you position the speakers centred to your ear canal. To make this adjustment, use the spacers that are provided in the kit and place the speakers in the ideal location. Play a soundtrack and adjust the position till you get the same audio performance on both left and right speakers.
