Mounting the Inter Phone

1. Take your Inter Phone Headset and slide it down into the slots in the Headset Clip Mount. Make sure that it’s perfectly fitted and locked into place by trying to extract it, pulling upwards.

2. Now you need to attach the speaker and microphone arm to the inside of the helmet. Take the Velcro pad which the speaker will attach to, and test for the best position to fix it. The Velcro Pad should be fixed at the height of your ear in the helmets ear pocket. You will need to put the helmet on a few times to find the optimum position to apply the pad. When the correct positioning is found, remove the protective strip and apply the Velcro Pad.

3. Next, take the Ear Speaker and attach it to the Velcro Pad. Run the Microphone Arm down along down to where your mouth will be. As the Microphone Arm is flexible, you can adjust it so it sits in the optimum position in front of your mouth. Some helmets have removable padding; if yours does, it is recommended to run the speaker and microphone under the padding.

4. Taking care to match the pins up, connect the Headset Plug to the Headset Socket. The plug can only be inserted in one position.
