1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Presentation
Thank you for choosing this product. URBAN Interphone is a Bluetooth® helmet device for wireless entertainment and communication between multiple motorcyclists.
URBAN Interphone can be installed on most helmets with a quick attachment/detachment bracket. URBAN Interphone is certified to withstand harsh weather, with “IP67” protection level.

1.2 Warnings
BATTERY
Fully charge the battery before using the product for the first time.
Do not store the Product without charging it. Failure to do so may cause irreversible damage to the battery capacity. Charge the battery every TWO months.

IMPERMEABILITY
The external unit (control unit), connected to the audio kit, is classified IP67 according to the IEC60529 standard. The control unit, connected to the audio kit, can therefore be immersed in a metre of fresh water for a maximum of 30 (thirty) minutes.
Despite this classification, the device is not immune to greater stress, such as prolonged immersions or high pressure water jets.
Using the product during intense meteorological phenomena, at high speeds, may be equivalent to subjecting the product to a high pressure jet.

FOLLOW ALL SUGGESTIONS CAREFULLY TO AVOID DAMAGING THE DEVICE:

• Do not immerse the product in fresh water which is more than a metre deep for more than 30 minutes. Do not store the product when still wet: dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Dry any water or moisture present in the connector of the control unit and/or audio kit with hot air for at least 10 minutes, so as to prevent the oxidation of the contacts.
• Do not expose the product to salt water or ionised water, drinks or other liquids. If the device is exposed to liquids other than fresh water, wash the device with cold fresh water and dry it carefully with a clean, soft cloth.
• Do not expose the product to high pressure water jets.
• Make sure that the audio kit connector is completely inserted in the control unit. If not, complete protection against water and dust is not guaranteed.

1.3 Main specifications

• Intercom: URBAN Interphone allows communication rider-passenger.
• Telephone/GPS: URBAN Interphone can be connected simultaneously to a maximum of two devices (mobile phone/GPS navigators).

Every URBAN Interphone can be connected simultaneously to up to two Bluetooth® devices (with the exception of using the three- or four-unit INTERCOM function as described in Chap. 4.3/4.4).

5.1 Pairing
Before starting use of URBAN Interphone with these devices, it is necessary to perform pairing of the various devices. This process need only be performed once. Subsequently URBAN Interphone will automatically recognise the devices previously paired and will automatically connect.

Pairing procedure

1. Activate the Bluetooth® function on the phone/GPS/MP3 (refer to the device manual for further de-tails).
2. With URBAN Interphone in Standby mode (BLUE LED flashing), press together the buttons + + for 3 seconds to activate “PAIRING mode” (BLUE and RED flashing).
3. Start searching for new Bluetooth® devices on the mobile phone / GPS / MP3 reader
4. After a few seconds the device will show “F6T”. Select this option.
5. If prompted for a PIN or code, enter 0000 (four zeros).
6. The voice guide will confirm successful pairing with the message “SUCCESSFUL PAIRING, CONNECTED TO THE PHONE”. The device will go into Standby mode (blue LED flashes twice every 3 seconds).
7. If the Bluetooth® device requires authorisation to access the list, provide confirmation.

To pair a second device, repeat the procedure from step 1).

5.2 Telephone use
As specified in section 2.8, a phone call has the highest priority than any other URBAN INTERPHONE function. In case of receipt of a phone call use the commands shown in the following table:

5.3 Warnings and tips for using the phone
If two different mobiles are connected at the same time, the functions “Redial last number” and “Voice call” may only be used by the first phone connected.
An Internet connection on the mobile phone may be needed to use the “Voice call”.
The “Voice call” function may not be supported by your mobile phone (refer to your device manual for further details).

5.4 GPS
After pairing the URBAN Interphone to the GPS (Chap. 5.1) it is possible to hear the voice prompts sent by the navigator. During the intercom communication the GPS (if fitted) will interrupt the conversation whenever it is necessary to transmit a voice prompt.

Attention: ensure the GPS is compatible with the Bluetooth® headsets. Consult the GPS user manual for further information. URBAN Interphone uses the Bluetooth® HFP profile to manage the connection to a GPS unit.

Navigators integrated within smartphones use the A2DP profile to send route directions. This profile does not allow interruption of the intercom conversation.

Navigators sold for use in cars are NOT usually equipped with Bluetooth® HFP. For that reason they cannot transmit voice prompts to Bluetooth® headsets. Consult the GPS user manual for further information.

6. FM RADIO

URBAN Interphone has integrated FM radio with RDS and 8 stations that can be saved

6.1 Listening to FM radio

6.3 “FM radio” function warnings and suggestions.
URBAN Interphone has an FM receiver with RDS. This feature is used:

• when the tuned broadcast signal becomes too weak, URBAN Interphone will attempt to tune in to an alternative frequency used by the same station.
• when the device is tuned in to a radio station, the voice guide will announce the frequency and the name of the broadcaster.

WARNING: In case the signal of the current station is not weak enough to trigger the search for an alter-native station, it is possible that listening will be characterised by disturbances due to poor signal strength. FM reception is strongly influenced by the surrounding environment (electro- magnetic disturbances, natural obstacles etc.).

7. MUSIC

URBAN Interphone can play music from Bluetooth® devices (smartphones, MP3 players etc.) equipped with A2DP profile. To play music it is necessary to pair the devices to URBAN INTERPHONE (Chap. 5.1)

7.1 Playing music

7.2 Sharing music
URBAN Interphone has a “SONG SHARING” function which allows music sharing with another Interphone.

During music sharing, by pressing the button it is possible to start an intercom communication.

7.3 “MUSIC” function warnings and suggestions.

• Only Bluetooth® devices with A2DP profile can transmit stereo music to the device.
• Only Bluetooth® devices with AVRCP profile can be controlled at a distance from the device.
• The sound quality of the music also depends on the quality of the audio source (bitrate and codec of audio files, Bluetooth® player quality etc.).
