Using the BTSKI with a semi-rigid helmet
To place the BT SKI into a semi-rigid helmet
you should rst of all remove the little triangular
pads, used to cover the ears in most of helmets
on sale, and then put your helmet directly on the
BT SKI device.
If your helmet is not equipped with the two
removable pads, you could anyway mount your
BT SKI system by using the supplied Velcro-
band. Be sure to x the Velcro-band as shown
in the gure.
Now, x the BT SKI on the Velcro-band. Wear
your headset, insert the connection cable of the
headset into the BT SKI device and wear the
helmet.
Fitting and wiring your BT SKI “Universal helmet” system
Midland BT SKI thanks to the “Universal
Helmet” audio kit can be mounted on every kind
of helmet: rigid and semi-rigid ones.
The “Universal helmet” audio system is
composed of two ultra-at high performance
stereo speakers and one microphone with
boom (integrated to the speaker on the right).
To wire the helmet.
Thanks to the functional Velcro band (or the bi-
adhesive plate), it is possible to x the speakers
inside the ear pad (the nearest they are to your
ears, the better will be the sound quality)
Wires can be hidden inside the padding.
To achieve the best microphone performance,
be sure to have placed the boom mike the
nearest to your mouth.
It is very important to keep the sponge on the
microphone in order to reduce wind noises or
background interferences.

The best known and distributed helmet brands on the market are designed to contain the
speaker inside the padding.
The Universal Helmet solution
can be perfectly placed inside;
just put the speakers into the
special compartment in correspondence to your ears.
The majority of the models have a pocket on each
side(with a Velcro closure);
remove the foam rubbers and replace them with the speakers.
From the little opening of the right, let the boom microphone and the connection plug exit.
Adjust the boom microphone the nearest to your mouth.
Other helmet models have a little clasp under the soft padding. In this case, open the zip
and place the speakers near your ears. Let the boom mike exit from the end of the zip and
adjust it. The plug should exit from that little opening too in order to connect it to your BT
SKI.
To x the BT SKI
In case you have a semi-rigid helmet, you
should mount your BT SKI system by using the
supplied Velcro band.
Be sure to x the Velcro band on the right side
of the helmet between the closing laces, as
shown in the gure below.
Now, x the BT SKI on the Velcro band by
slipping it down.
Insert the connection cable into the Audio kit
plug of the BT SKI device.
