Setup
Configure the system settings before riding the motorcycle, with the motorcycle stationary and set to accessory mode. Adjust the options to match your personal riding style, and to make best use of any features or devices that you may be using. If there are problems with any features in the radio, first check the relevant settings.
Most settings are similar for all radios. However, some features or selections may be unique or unavailable on some vehicles. Some settings may also be specific for particular countries or regions. See
Features and Specifications → Specifications for more information about the features available on your motorcycle and in your region.
If audio accessories have been added to the motorcycle, see the instruction sheets for proper configuration and operation of those accessories.
Communications
The intercom allows the rider and passenger to talk with each other through the headsets. The intercom can be operated by pressing the PTT switch or by using voice operated transmission (VOX). When voice input is picked up by the rider or passenger microphone, the intercom is automatically activated. This process is known as "breaking VOX".
The rider or passenger can initiate intercom communication. When the intercom is active, tuner and media volume are automatically reduced so the intercom can be heard through the headsets.
For privacy, the intercom is only heard through the rider and passenger headsets. It is not heard through the speakers.
Microphone sensitivity and headset volume can be adjusted. The microphone sensitivity (VOX) applies to both rider and passenger microphones. The rider and passenger headset volumes are adjusted independently.
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.
