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

INTERPHONE FBEAT 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 FBEAT can be installed on any helmet, with-

out aﬀecting its structure or ﬁnish. Once installed, it can be removed at any time. INTERPHONE FBEAT 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 FBEAT 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 FBEAT 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 FBEAT 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.

Care and maintenance

If not using the kit for long periods of time, the battery must be charged every two/three months, to avoid damage. To clean, use a damp sponge and mild soap, if necessary. Do not use solvents or degreasing products to clean the module. Important note: to prevent water from seeping in through the audio connector and damaging the module during cleaning, be sure to insert the plug from the audio section into the socket, as when the unit is installed and used on the helmet. The kit is watertight only when the audio plug is inserted.

WARNINGS: If radio interference is high due to the vicinity of repeaters, high voltage towers or various kinds of radio signals, intercom communication and/or the InterphoneFBEAT device itself could shut down. To restore operation, try moving away from the area of interference and/or turn the InterphoneFBEAT oﬀ and then back on.

1.0 PREPARATION/ASSEMBLY

InterphoneFBEAT 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 InterphoneFBEAT, you should check the website for software updates that could improve the performance of the FBEAT. 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 InterphoneFBEAT 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 FBEAT 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 FBEAT 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.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 FBEAT 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 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 FBEAT

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 (B) - if possible, slide the microphone arm

through the hole in the chin strap and below the cheek-

pad so that the microphone is more stable and less ob-

trusive. It should be possible 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 fac-

es your mouth and preferably points toward your eyes.

1.3 Recharging

The InterphoneFBEAT must be charged before use.

Once mounted on the helmet, connect the recharger ca-

ble 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 InterphoneFBEAT 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 FBEAT mod-

ule completely. Two modules can be charged together in

around three hours.

We recommend turning the module oﬀ before recharg-

ing the FBEAT.

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.

2 PAIRING

2.1 Telephone Pairing

The INTERPHONE FBEAT can be paired to a mobile phone. After having turned the INTERPHONE FBEAT oﬀ, press and hold the MFB button until the warning light alternates red

and blue ashes. This will take about 8 seconds.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE PRODUCT BATTERY

Do not store the device without charging it. Failure to do so may irreversibly damage the capacity of the battery. Recharge the battery completely every TWO months.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON PRODUCT WATERPROOFING

The external unit (control unit), mated to the connector on the audio kit, is classied IP67 as per the IEC60529 standard, when

used with the sealer provided in the package. Therefore, the control unit, when mated to the connector on the audio kit, may be submerged in a meter of freshwater for a maximum of 30 (thirty) minutes.

Despite this classiﬁcation, the device is not immune to greater stresses, such as prolonged immersion or high-pressure jets of water.

Using the device in conditions of bad weather, at high speeds, may be equivalent to subjecting it to a high-pressure jet of water.

FOLLOW THESE SUGGESTIONS CAREFULLY TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE:

Do not immerse the device in freshwater over one metre deep for more than 30 minutes.

Do not store the device when it is wet: dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Dry any water or moisture in the control unit

connector and/or the audio kit connector by applying warm air for at least 10 minutes. This will keep the contacts from corroding.

Keep the device away from salt water, ionised water, beverages and other liquids. If the device is exposed to liquids other than freshwater, wash it with cold, freshwater and dry it carefully with a clean, soft cloth.

Keep the device away from high-pressure jets of water.

Be sure to reapply the sealer supplied in the package if the sealer disappears when the device is used for a prolonged period of time.

Be sure the connector on the audio kit is inserted into the control unit completely. Otherwise, complete

protection against water and dust is not guaranteed.

NOTE

For excellent waterprooﬁng, apply a thin layer of silicone on the parts highlighted in the image below.
