microphone in the right way, with the white sign oriented towards your mouth.

Using the BTSKI with a semi-rigid helmet

To place the BTSKI 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 BTSKI device.

If your helmet is not equipped with the two removable pads, you could anyway mount your BTSKI system by using the supplied Velcro-
