NOTE
Some local governments prohibit or restrict the use of headset (helmet-mounted) speakers. Check with local authorities and obey all applicable laws and regulations.
A Harley-Davidson dealer can help you select the correct genuine Harley-Davidson headsets and microphones for your year and model Harley-Davidson. Harley-Davidson stereo helmet headsets with 7-pin DIN jacks fit the rider and the passenger intercom sockets. Other headset microphones will not work.
Open the socket cap and with the ridge on the headset jack facing upward and insert the jack into either the front or rear headset socket.
NOTE
For areas that do not permit headset speakers, a special hand-held microphone can be used to transmit over the CB. This microphone is also available through a Harley-Davidson dealer.
NOTICE
Do not pull on the cord to remove the headset from the socket. Pull on the headset jack to disconnect the headset from the socket. (00174a)
The spring-loaded hinge keeps the headset socket cap closed while riding. It protects against dirt and water when the headset or hand-held microphone is not in use. Before washing the motorcycle, verify that BOTH rider and passenger socket caps are closed.
