INSTALLATION

NOTE : We recommend cleaning mounting surfaces with rubbing alcohol to ensure the best adhesion.

STEP 1
Place your helmet upside down on a clean soft surface. If you have a removable helmet interior and cheek pads we recommend removing these to ease installation of the interior Rugged Connect BT2 speakers, microphone, and wiring.

STEP 2
Some helmets come with speaker cut-outs. You may have to remove a foam insert to reveal these. Determine the appropriate location to install your speakers. Speakers should be centered on the ear for best sound reproduction. If needed, affix the supplied circular hook and loop fastener in the helmet where your speakers will be placed. If there is a large gap between the speakers and your ears, you may want to use the included speaker spacers to move the speakers closer to your ears to maximize audio quality.

STEP 3
Attach the included Alpha Audio speakers onto the circular hook and loop fasteners. Orient with the wires toward the top or rear of the helmet. The Alpha Audio speaker with the shorter wire should be on the same side as the Rugged Connect BT2 control unit, typically the left side of the helmet to keep your right hand on the throttle.

STEP 4
Locate the “Stay-Put” Flex Boom mic. Align the round mounting plate of the boom mic between the helmet cheek pad and the internal wall of the helmet. Place the boom mic on the same side you plan to mount the Rugged Connect BT2 unit. The boom mic should be mounted so the foam-covered mic is close to your mouth. Once you are satisfied with its location, cut to fit and apply the larger rectangular hook and loop fastener piece to the interior of your helmet. Be sure to push firmly when mounting this. Press the round boom mic mount onto this to complete the mic installation.

STEP 5
Once mounted, temporarily remove the foam microphone cover and ensure the flat part of the microphone is facing towards your mouth. Ideally, your microphone should be right in front of your lips. Replace the foam cover.

STEP 6
Connect the male microphone plug to the female port on the speaker wires, then connect the 2.5 MM male connector of the speaker wire harness into the Rugged Connect BT2 unit.

STEP 7
Attach one piece of the supplied 3MTM Dual Lock™ to the back of the Rugged Connect BT2 and the second 3MTM Dual Lock™ to the side of your helmet. Mount in a spot that will be comfortable to reach while in a seated riding position. This is typically towards the bottom of the left side of the helmet and slightly forward of center.

STEP 8
Securely tuck away wires. If you removed the helmet liner or cheek pads for installation, reinstall these items and ensure all wires are safely tucked behind these pieces where they will not be damaged during normal use.
