|
Easy to operate: Designed to
provide simple hands free communication. When installing set up the volume, VOX
and balance, then each time you used the system; plug in Headset1 to turn ON and
unplug to turn OFF. The intelligent active volume adjustment system takes care
of the volume and, along with VOX (voice operation transmit) and music mute
system - it’s all hands free.

|
Easy to install:
Designed to be easily mounted on a Bike, supplied complete with a Velcro disc
and tie wrap mounting kit, a typical installation is the unit fixed under the
seat. The unit can be battery operated or powered from a 12V DC vehicle supply
again a typical installation will pick up the 12V power very easily and
conveniently from the rear light.

The
helmet kit assembly: consists of two slim
speakers and a microphone which are Velcro attached into position, one speaker
adjacent to each ear and the bud microphone in front of the mouth (a boom mic in
the open face helmet kit). For flip helmets our bud microphones work
extremely well, with the microphone secured in the chin guard when the flip is
dropped the mic is automatically in the perfect position, with boom mics it is
often necessary to adjust the position which is difficult and dangerous while
riding. see helmet kits |
