Description of the installation brackets
The Midland BTX1 can be mounted 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 “mount” the BTX1 unit onto your helmet and to remove it at any time
in order to recharge or store it.
Plate with bi-adhesive strip
The mounting plate has a bi-adhesive strip on one
of its sides. To mount the plate in place, clean the
application area on the helmet surface, remove
the bi-adhesive lm and place the mounting
plate on the helmet by applying pressure for a
few seconds to ensure it bonds with the helmet’s
surface.
Screw Clamp

phone responsibly and safely.
You can switch (toggle) from one mode to the other simply pressing the Middle button for 3 seconds. A voice announcement will tell in which mode you
are operating in.
The toggle sequence is the following:
› Intercom mode (if another unit has been paired)
› Phone mode (if a phone has been paired)
Every time you turn on the unit, the default mode is Intercom (if it was previously
paired to another unit), otherwise it will be Phone (If it was paired to a phone).
If you need to know in which mode the unit currently is, just press the “Volume +
“ and “Volume –“ button together. A voice announcement will tell you the current
mode.

managed by the GPS itself.
GPS navigator always in background
To keep the intercom open while the GPS give the street indication, you must have
the “background” feature active.
How to use the wired audio input
Your Midland BTX1 is also supplied with a wired audio input (AUX), that can be
used to connect an audio source, like an iPod (or any other MP3 Player) or a GMRS
transceiver for group communication or for a coverage increase.
Listening to music
To listen to music from the wired input, connect the audio source using the optional AUX cable.
The volume buttons (Vol + and Vol -) cannot be used to adjust the volume of the
wired audio source. The AGC system with automatically increase the volume on
higher speed.
Attention: Never set the volume of the MP3 Player to the maximum possible. Normally the best level is about the 70% of the maximum.
Hint: We recommend that you perform a few tests adjusting the volume of your
iPod/MP3 player so at the normal speed the Headset volume is suited to your
needs. The AGC system will automatically increase the volume on higher speed.
Make a note to remember this setting for future trips.
which cable is best suited to your needs
The cable connected to the transceiver normally has also a PTT button that can
be placed on the handlebar of your bike or held in your hand (If you are the
passenger rider).
To communicate via the attached radio, press the PTT button to speak and release
it to listen. It is not possible to talk and listen simultaneously.
Adjust the volume of the transceiver to your needs, remembering that the volume
adjustment is controlled by the automatic AGC system and that it will therefore
be automatically increased in relation to background noise.
If you wish to use a GMRS transceiver for group communications and simultaneously maintain the Intercom feature enabled between two or more BTX1 devices,
you must remember that every time you talk to communicate with the GMRS
transceiver (pressing the PTT button), you will also activate the intercom of the
BTX1 to the unit connected to the “Middle” button (thanks to the VOX feature).
To avoid the Intercom activation when you speak on the GMRS, you can decide
to pair the BTX1 unit on the “Rear” or “Forward” (where the VOX is not active) or
if you still want to use the “Middle” button, you must disable the VOX feature, as
explained in the previous section.
Attention! If you disable the VOX feature, you will only be able to answer incoming
phone calls by pressing the “Forward” button.
Enabling/disabling the wired input
If needed the wired input can be enabled or disabled.
Enabling/Disabling: Make a Long press on the “Rear ” button (you will hear one audio beep tone for enabling conrmation and two audio beep tone for disabling).
Using a GMRS transceiver with the cable connection
In order to connect the transceiver to your Midland BTX1, you need to purchase
the specic 2.5mm plug AUX cable, sold separately. Some manufacturers radios
use a dierent pin conguration, so we recommend that you ask your dealer as to

Adjusting/ Disabling the VOX feature (Intercom and telephone)
The Intercom feature can be enabled both manually and vocally (VOX). The VOX
activation is inuenced by the background noise and therefore by the speed.
For optimum results, it is possible to choose one of the following four microphone
sensitivity levels: high, medium, low and very low. The default setting of BTX1 is
“low”. It is also possible to disable the VOX feature in order to activate the Intercom and phone call answering features in manual mode only.

The light indicator is now back to steady RED (“Set up mode”) and the
changes are conrmed
7. If needed, you can adjust again the sensitivity repeating the steps from point
1, otherwise exit the Setting mode by double clicking the “Middle” button.
Once the red light turns o, the blue led will start blinking. Now you can use
your BTX1.
