The BTCity has 3 multifunction buttons and 3 wired connections in
the lower section.

› Control: can be used to enable/disable the intercom and manage
mobile phone features
Description of the audio kit
The audio system includes two ultra-at stereo speakers and two interchangeable microphones, which are both supplied with a bracket
and wire connection.
Fixing the stereo speakers
The two stereo speakers have a Velcro/adhesive strip that aids their
xing to your helmet.
The microphone can be xed onto the helmet in two ways:
Boom Microphone
Place the section with the Velcro/adhesive strip between the padding
and the rigid cover of the helmet, so that the microphone is correctly
positioned in front of your mouth and that the white symbol is facing
your mouth. This type of microphone is suited for Open Faced and Flip
Front helmets.

Wire microphone
Using the Velcro/adhesive strip, place the microphone inside the helmet in front of your mouth. This type of microphone is more suited
for Full Faced helmets. The mini connector on the microphone allows
you choose the microphone that best suits the helmet you are using.
Audio kit jack
The audio kit must then be connected to the central jack of the
Midland BTCity unit using the “L” shaped connector.
Description of the installation brackets
The Midland BTCity can be xed onto the helmet in two dierent
ways: By either using the plate with bi-adhesive strip, or the clamp.
These methods allow you to safely “x” the BTCity unit onto your
helmet and to remove it at any time in order to recharge or store it.
Plate with bi-adhesive strip
The xing plate has a bi-adhesive strip on
one of its sides. To x the plate in place,
clean the application area on the helmet
surface, remove the bi-adhesive lm and
place the xing plate on the helmet by
keeping it contact with the surface for a
few seconds.
Spacer
Clamp
Using the Allen Key, loosen the two screws on the clamp and place the
rear plate between the helmet padding and the external rigid protection. Then, tighten the two screws in order to rmly x the clamp in
place. Inside the clamp is included a small plastic spacer, that can be
removed to close tigher the clamp.
Fitting and removing your Midland BTCity
The BTCity can be easily tted onto the helmet by sliding it
downwards so that it ts into the slot of the selected xing device
(plate with bi-adhesive strip or clamp). BTCity is maintained in position thanks to the xing clip located on the upper section (A).
