be using with the N-Com B4

B4B4

B4. Read the simple rules listed below. Failure to comply with these

rules may lead to dangerous situations.

Caution: The product cannot be used in official or non-official competitions, motordromes,

circuits, racing tracks and the like.

Caution: Installation of the N-Com B4

B4B4

B4 system results in a weight increase of approximately

110g, which is added to the weight of the helmet and of the other accessories.

Warning: The electronic components of the N-Com system mounted inside the helmet are

not waterproof. Consequently, make sure the inside of the helmet, including the comfort
padding, does not get wet in order to avoid damage to the system. If it does, remove the
N-Com system and the helmet comfort padding and let it air dry. Remove the battery from
its housing and let it dry.

1.1. Road safety

Always obey all Traffic Regulations in force. While riding the motorcycle, your hands should
always be engaged in actually riding the vehicle. Any operation to the N-Com system must be

carried out with the vehicle stopped. Specifically:

• Set your cell phone on automatic answer (see the cell phone instructions to do this).

• If your cell phone is not equipped with this function, first stop your vehicle in a safe area,

in compliance with Traffic Regulations and then answer the call.

• Do not make any calls while riding. Stop your vehicle in a safe place in compliance with

Traffic Regulations, and then make the call.

• Adjust the volume so that it does not cause a disturbance or distraction while riding and

at the same time allows you to distinctively hear background noises.

• Do not operate your cell phone or other devices connected to N-Com while riding your

motorcycle.

• In all cases, obey the Traffic Regulations and remember that riding the motorcycle has

absolute priority over any other manoeuvre.

1.2. Switching on the system in safe environments

• When using the N-Com system, comply with all limitations and instructions related to the

use of cell phones.

• Do not turn on your cell phone or the N-Com system whenever their use is forbidden or

when the devices can cause interference or dangerous situations.

• Turn off while refuelling. Do not use the N-Com system in filling stations. Do not use the

device near combustible materials or chemical products.

• Turn off in proximity to explosive materials.

1.3. Interferences

All phones and devices with wireless signal transmission are subject to interferences that may
affect the performance of the device connected to them. These interferences are not
ascribable to a defect of the N-Com system.

1.4. Appropriate use

Use the device only in the normal position, as described in the product documentation. Do not
attempt to disassemble, tamper with or modify any part of the N-Com system.

Caution: Adjust the volume of the N-Com system (where provided) and of the audio sources

connected to it before you use the system on the road.

Caution: Adjusting the volume to very high levels may cause damage to your hearing.

Caution: Adjust the volume of the N-Com system (where provided) and of the audio sources

connected to it so as to avoid audio reproduction at high volumes. Constant exposure to
high audio volumes may damage your hearing.

Caution: An incorrect installation of the system in the helmet may alter the aerodynamic and

safety characteristics of the helmet itself, thus creating dangerous conditions. Install the
N-Com system according to the instructions provided in the product documentation. In
case of doubt, please contact your local N-Com dealer.

Warning: Listening to other equipment should not interfere with driving the vehicle, which

must be the top priority at all times. Carry out all operations on the electronic equipment
and on the N-Com system with the vehicle stopped, in compliance with Traffic Regulations.

the specific model.

• The use of a battery type different from the recommended one may lead to dangerous

situations and invalidate the warranty.

always grab and pull the plug not the cable.

• Do not use batteries for purposes other than the prescribed ones.
