Mounting the stereo speakers
The two stereo speakers have a Velcro/adhesive strip that aids their mounting into
your helmet.
Beware not to completely cover your ear with the speakers, you must always be
able to listen to the trac sound and your indicators.
The microphone can be mounted 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.
Wired 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 to 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 BTX1 unit
using the “L” shaped connector.

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
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 mount the clamp in place. Inside the clamp is a small
plastic spacer that can be removed to give a tighter t if required.
Fitting and removing your Midland BTX1
The BTX1 can be easily tted onto the helmet by sliding it downwards so that it
ts into the slot of the selected mounting device (plate with bi-adhesive strip
or clamp). The BTX1 is held in place by the mounting clip located on the upper
section (A).
To detach the BTX1, simply press the mounting clip and push the unit upwards.
Switching your Midland BTX1 on and o
Switching the unit on:
Press and hold “Middle” button down for approximately 3 seconds until the BLUE
indicator lights.
Switching the unit o:
Press and hold both “Middle” and “Rear” buttons together for approximately 3
seconds until the RED indicator ashes 3 times, thus lessening the chances that
you might turn o the unit accidentally (especially whilst wearing gloves).
Operative “mode”
The BTX1 can operate in two main “modes”: Intercom and Phone.
The 3 multi function buttons can have dierent functionality depending on which
mode the unit is in at that moment.
› In “Intercom mode” the middle buttons let you manage the communications
between driver and passenger
› In “Phone mode” you can manage your Bluetooth cellular phone to place/
answer a phone call or to listen to music (in stereo mode). Please use your
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.
