INTERPHONE F3XT is a Bluetooth® helmet system for entertainment and information while driving a motorcycle.

INTERPHONE F3XT is compatible with all mobile phones and GPS navigators with Bluetooth® technology. The module is covered by a special Weather Protection Skin membrane making it fully waterproof. Its aerodynamics have been designed to avoid any disturbances generated by air turbulence, and to allow water, if raining, to slide away. Its controls and shape have been designed to allow for quick and easy identiﬁcation and access while riding wearing gloves.

INSTALLATION INTERPHONE F3XT can be installed on any helmet, without

aﬀecting its structure or ﬁnish. Once installed, it can be removed at any time. INTERPHONE F3XT does not change the helmet’s certiﬁcation.

WHILE DRIVING

Always give priority to driving your vehicle, not to telephone calls. During a telephone conversation, or while using the intercom, reduce your speed and concentrate on your driving. In bad weather and/or heavy traﬃc, we recommend pulling over and stopping before answering. Always ride carefully and in accordance with the current highway code.

WHEN STOPPED To avoid theft, if leaving the helmet on the motorcycle, INTERPHONE F3XT is ﬁtted with a quick release button to al-

low you to remove the external Bluetooth® module and take it with you.

NOTES ON AUTONOMY

Active use autonomy is indicative. It has been calculated by alternating the use of all the INTERPHONE F3XT functions and, given the varied use of these; it can vary signiﬁcantly from one use to another. During Intercom communication, one of the two Interphone or INTERPHONE F3XT devices has greater battery consumption: this phenomenon is due to the wireless search procedure the one of the control units performs to remain connected to the other and can also lead to 60/90 minute autonomy diﬀerence. On long journeys, to optimise battery duration, we advise enabling Intercom mode only when you wish to communicate, remaining in stand-by or an alternative mode when not actually communicating.

1.0 PREPARATION/ASSEMBLY

InterphoneF3XT is a modular audio kit made up of a Bluetooth® module (the core of the system) (A), a double slide support system for the module (E/D) and an audio kit with a double microphone to be installed inside the helmet (C/B) Before conﬁguring the InterphoneF3XT, you should check the website for software updates that could improve the performance of the F3XT. If there are any updates, installation is recommended. Verify compatibility with the operating system on your PC, then download the ﬁle and the attached instructions that will guide you through the update process.

1.1 Mounting the bracket on the helmet

The InterphoneF3XT has two mounting systems (small plates) (E/D) that you can install on the helmet. Choose the system that is better suited to the type of helmet you are using. Equipped with a sliding latch system, the plates support and lock the F3XT Bluetooth® module into position. One system is applied using an adhesive system (E), and the other uses a clip (D). Thanks to the sliding latch system on the plates, the F3XT module can easily be removed for recharging, updating, security against theft, and use on other helmets that have already been prepared with other kits designed for each type of helmet. The kits for an additional helmet all consist of an audio section with earphones/microphone, along with two support plates for the module. The kits for an additional helmet are optional and can have a diﬀerent structure and operation. For more information, consult the accessory section on our website,

www.interphone.cellularline.com

We recommend using the adhesive plate (E) since it is more aerodynamic and can be placed wherever you like on the surface of the helmet. This allows you to choose point that best suits the shape of the helmet shell to maximize appearance and adhesion. On the other hand, the adhesive plate cannot be repositioned. Once it is applied, it cannot be removed because the 3M adhesive that provides its excellent holding power does not allow for a change of position. If the plate is removed, it must be replaced with a new one. Carefully choose the most suitable point before application.

The clip-on plate (D) is better for those who do not want to apply permanent adhesive to their helmet or would like

to be able to remove the plate and use the helmet with no accessories installed. The clip-on plate requires that the helmet allow part of the plate to be inserted between helmet shell and cheekpad. The cheekpads on some helmets are glued or have special seals that prevent the plate from being inserted correctly or require the helmet to be modiﬁed, which not everyone is willing to do. In these cases, it’s better to choose the adhesive plate. Both brackets can only be installed on the left side of the helmet.

Installation with (adhesive) plate

Take the adhesive plate, but do not remove the protective ﬁlm on the back. Place the plate on the left side of the helmet shell. Now, move it around and ﬁnd the position where it will adhere and function best. Before applying it, mount the F3XT module on the plate and check whether the position you chose could disturb the driver by causing interference or discomfort (check visor, opening, etc...). Carefully clean and degrease the point chosen for applying the plate. Do not use strong detergents that could ruin the paint on the helmet. After cleaning the helmet shell, remove the protective ﬁlm from the double-sided adhesive strip and apply the plate on the helmet. Press quickly on the plate to attach the strip ﬁrmly. After application, it is a good idea to let the 3M adhesive act on the helmet for 12 hours before using the helmet.

Installation with the clip-on (removable) plate

Check the type of helmet you have and make sure that the clip can be inserted between helmet shell and cheekpad. Otherwise, use the adhesive plate. Take the clip-on plate, loosen the two screws and remove the rear section. On the left side of the helmet, locate the most suitable point for inserting the clip, slide the rear section of the clip in between the helmet shell and the cheekpad, and let the end (with the holes for the screws) protrude on the outside. Now, try to join the front section of the clip onto the rear section. Depending on the thickness/radius of the helmet, it may be necessary to use the adapter (J) to compensate for the distance between the two sections so that the clip still adheres to the helmet shell when the screws are tightened. Tighten the screws with the screwdriver provided. Do not use excessive force when tightening the screws. You could break all or part of the clip. If you are also using the adapter for the clip, you must replace the two screws installed in the clip with the longer ones supplied with the unit.

1.2 Audio sec tion (microphone/earphones) (C/B)

InterphoneF3XT with audio kit with two microphones,

connected to the earphone with a mini jack to be able

to choose the most suitable based on the type of helmet.

This makes mounting easy and possible on open-face

and modular as well as full-face helmets.

Open-face/modular helmets use the kit with the micro-

phone mounted on a ﬂexible metal arm (B), since the

arm must remain suspended in front of the user’s mouth.

Full-face helmets use the audio kit with the microphone

connected to the earphone by a thin wire (C) that can be

handled and hidden easily during installation. The micro-

phone is encapsulated in a strip of ﬂexible rubber and is

applied on the inside of the chin strap with adhesive or

Velcro, in front of the user’s mouth.

The right earphone is connected to the audio section

with a moveable mini-jack. Use only the left earphone

in countries where the use of a double earphone is pro-

hibited.

Installing the audio section

Wear the helmet and locate the exact point where your

ears are positioned inside.

If the internal fabric of the helmet allows it, try to apply

the two earphones in the audio kit directly at the points

you determined. The Velcro on the back of the earphone

will often adhere perfectly to the material in the helmet

without the need to use the fabric strip (I) with double-

adhesive. Otherwise, if the material is unmanageable,

apply the strip of fabric at the point you previously deter-

mined and place the earphone on the strip.

Put on the helmet once again and check whether the ear-

phones are correctly positioned. They must be centred

and come slightly in contact with your ears.

If the helmet allows it, it’s a good idea to insert the ear-

phones under the cheekpad fabric, which requires more

time and care to accomplish but makes the internal kit

almost invisible and more comfortable.

Thread the cable with plug under the cheekpad and

around the helmet while trying not to lay it over itself or

twist it. Then, pull it out on the left side as far as it will

go. Afterwards, when the plug is connected to the F3XT

module mounted on the support, you can push the ex-

cess cable back inside and leave only as much as you

need on the outside.

Microphone on open-face/modular helmets (B) - if

possible, slide the microphone arm through the hole in

the chin strap and below the cheekpad so that the micro-

phone is more stable and less obtrusive. It should be pos-

sible to position the microphone with foam windscreen

(14) in front of your mouth, but it may be left slightly to the side of the mouth. After installation is complete, make sure that the wording MIC on the foam windscreen on the microphone arm faces your mouth and preferably points toward your eyes. Microphone on full-face helmets (C) - the wire from the microphone must exit from under the cheekpad, and the microphone (14) must be installed on the inside of the chin guard and in front of the mouth. Make sure that the microphone as installed does not block any ventilation holes, and check that the ventilation holes are not pointing directly at the microphone. The microphone can be installed directly using the builtin double-sided tape (ﬁxed mounting).

1.3 Recharging

The InterphoneF3XT must be charged before use. Once mounted on the helmet, connect the recharger cable provided (F) to a USB port, then insert the recharger cable plug into the outlet on the audio kit connector (16) correctly inserted in the InterphoneF3XT module.

The charge LED turns orange (7) during charging.

When the battery is fully charged, the LED will turn green. About two hours are needed to charge the F3XT module completely. Two modules can be charged together in around three hours. We recommend turning the module oﬀ before recharging the F3XT.

1.4 Turning on/oﬀ TURNING ON

Press and hold the MFB button for approximately 3 seconds. The speaker will sound an acoustic warning and the LEDs will begin ﬂashing quickly for around 3 seconds. Subsequently, in stand-by mode, the LED will ﬂash approximately once every 5 seconds.

TURNING OFF

Press and hold the MFB button. The speaker will sound a prolonged acoustic warning and the LED will ﬂash red prior to turning oﬀ.
