1. WARNINGS AND SAFETY
Read this User Manual carefully, as well as the User Manuals for other N-Com kits that you
will be using with the N-Com BX4 PLUS . 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 BX 4 PLUS system results in a weight increase of
approximately 85g, 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.
Caution: BX4 PLUS allows radio reception. Any radio licence fees are to the user’s
charge.
1.5. Qualified personnel
Only qualified personnel can carry out technical assistance on this product. In case of
any malfunction, always turn to your local dealer.
The helmet is a safety device. Tampering with it and/or with the electronic system
inside the helmet, in addition to invalidating the product warranty, can also lead to
dangerous situations.
1.6. Accessories and batteries
Only use the type of batteries, battery chargers and accessories approved by Nolan
for the specific model.
The use of a battery type different from the recommended one may lead to
dangerous situations and invalidate the warranty.
Contact your local dealer to see about the availability of approved accessories.
When disconnecting the power supply cable of any accessory or of the battery
charger, always grab and pull the plug not the cable.
Do not use batteries for purposes other than the prescribed ones.
Never use batteries or battery chargers that turn out to be damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
Keep the battery at a temperature between 0° / +45°C (charging); -20° / +60
°C (in use).
Danger of fire or explosion: do not throw the batteries into a fire nor expose them to
high temperatures!
Do not throw out batteries together with household refuse. The batteries should be
disposed of in compliance with local regulations
Do not wear the helmet while the battery is recharging.
The helmet should never be left within the reach of unsupervised children in order to
prevent damage to their health caused by access to the batteries.

order to disassemble the system from the helmet. Once the system has been
disassembled, dispose of it according to the following instructions:

Union the product is subject to separate collection at the end of its useful
life (European Directive 2002/96/EC).
