1. WARNINGS AND SAFETY
Read this User Manual carefully, as well as 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 M5 system results in a weight increase of approximately 100 g, 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. Disconnect the battery connector and let it dry as well.
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 maneuver.
The M5 system is equipped with an emergency brake light (ESS – Emergency Stop Signal). The ESS
system IS NOT intended to replace the stop or brake lights fitted on the motorcycle, consequently
its operation alone is not enough for proper brake signaling.
Make sure that the use of the emergency brake light (ESS – Emergency Stop Signal) is not in
conflict with the regulations in force in the country where you will be travelling.
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

18. LIMITED WARRANTY
With this LIMITED WARRANTY CERTIFICATE, Nolangroup warrants this Product to be free from defects in material and
workmanship at the time of its original purchase by the buyer. We invite you to:
- Read the cautions pertaining to safety and proper use.
- Read the warranty terms and conditions.
- Keep the originals sales receipt. This must be shown in case of repairs covered by warranty. In these cases, the product
has to be taken back to the dealer where it was purchased.
18.1. Warranty coverage
If any defect covered by this limited warranty certificate is discovered within 2 (two) years from the purchase date
shown on the tax receipt, Nolangroup shall repair or replace the defective product through its distribution network after
having verified the defect. Nolangroup shall supply all the material and labor that is reasonably required to remedy the
defect, except in those cases where the damage is caused by one of the items listed in the following paragraph
“Exclusions and limitations of the Coverage”.
18.2. Exclusions and limitations of the coverage
This warranty only covers defects in materials and manufacturing. Nolangroup shall not be considered responsible for
product defects that can be attributed, either partially or in full, to any other cause, including but not limited to:
Defects or damages resulting from using the Product in conditions that differ from the usual ones.
Damages caused by improper use not conforming with normal operation in accordance with the product
operating and maintenance instructions provided by Nolangroup.
Negligence and normal wear of internal and external parts.
Any damage caused by an accident;
Any change or modification made to the helmet or to the N-Com system by the user or by third parties.
Color changes or damages caused by exposure to harmful chemical products.
The use of incompatible accessories that are not part of the N-Com product range.
Moreover, the warranty does not cover product defects caused by fortuitous events, modifications or
adjustments, causes of
force majeure
or damages deriving from the product coming in contact with liquids.
The internal helmet components are not and cannot be waterproof. Consequently, any improper exposure to rain,
humidity, food spillages or other liquids can result in damages to the N-Com electronic devices, damages for
which Nolangroup shall not be responsible.
This warranty does not include those parts subject to wear and tear such as, for example, the rechargeable battery
and the cables used for connection between the various N-Com systems or between the N-Com systems and
other devices.
Since Nolangroup does not supply the system on which the cell phones work, it shall not be responsible for the
operation, availability, coverage, services or range pertaining to the aforementioned system.
Whenever the product is used in conjunction with accessories or equipment not supplied by Nolangroup,
Nolangroup shall not guarantee proper operation of the product/device combination, nor will it accept requests
for repairs or replacements under warranty in case the product is used in such a way.
Nolangroup shall not be responsible in case the product presents limited capabilities due to the operating mode of cell
phones or of other accessories or equipment not supplied by Nolangroup.
Tampering with the internal electronic card or with other parts of the N-Com system shall invalidate the warranty.
Moreover, the defects covered by this warranty do not include all those specific and subjective situations that may
come up during the active use of the helmet such as, for example, comfort problems while riding or aerodynamic
noises.
Nolangroup shall not be held responsible in any case for incidental or consequential damages (including, without any
limitation whatsoever, damages to one or more persons) resulting from non-fulfillment of the obligations arising from
this warranty as it pertains to Nolangroup products.
18.3. Validity of this limited warranty
This warranty is valid only if the enclosed warranty form is duly and completely filled out with the following information:
Product identification code
Name and stamp of the authorized dealer.
Product purchase date.
26
Buyer’s name and address.
Nolangroup reserves itself the right to not carry out repairs under warranty if the aforementioned information is
removed or modified after the original purchase of the product from the dealer.
18.4. Procedure for the forwarding of claims
To forward a claim covered by this warranty, the buyer has to directly notify the dealer where the helmet was purchased
with regards to the defect, presenting at the same time the defective product, a copy of the sales receipt and the
Warranty registration form, duly filled out as instructed above.
PRIOR TO CONTACTING THE DEALER, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ CAREFULLY THE USER MANUAL ENCLOSED
WITH THE PRODUCT.
AFTER 2 (TWO) YEARS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE, THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS VOID FOR ALL EFFECTS AND
PURPOSES.
Repairs or maintenance under warranty do not extend the period of the warranty itself. Therefore, in case the product
or one of its components is replaced, this does not initiate a new warranty period, as the purchase date of the original
product shall be taken into account for warranty purposes.
Only for repairs or replacement of electronic components, in the event that Nolangroup proceeds to repairing or
replacing the product, said product shall enjoy a warranty period equal to the residual portion of the original warranty
or ninety (90) days from the repair date (the longer period being considered).
The repair or replacement can be carried out even with regenerated components with equivalent functions.
The replaced parts or components shall become property of Nolangroup.
THIS WARRANTY VOIDS AND REPLACES ANY OTHER WRITTEN OR VERBAL WARRANTIES PROVIDED FOR BY THE LAW
THAT CAN BE DEROGATED AT THE PARTIES’ WILL; SPECIFICALLY, NOLANGROUP DOES NOT GRANT SPECIFIC
WARRANTS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO CASE SHALL NOLAN BE LIABLE
FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL
DAMAGES, TO THE FULL EXTENT THOSE DAMAGES CAN BE DISCLAIMED BY THE LAW.
NOLANGROUP RESERVES ITSELF THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, AT ANY TIME AND WITHOUT ADVANCE NOTICE, THE
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS, FUNCTIONS, COMPATIBILITY AND SOFTWARE.
Some Countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or the limitation of the
duration of implied warranties; as a result of this, the previous limitations and exclusions may not be applicable to you.
This warranty does not have any effect on the customer’s legal rights under the national jurisdiction in force or on the
consumer’s rights towards the dealer sanctioned by the purchase/sale contract.
This warranty is valid throughout the European territory, and it represents the only express warranty provided by
Nolangroup in relation to the sale of its own products. This warranty does not affect the rights to which the buyer is
entitled and which are expressly provided for by Directive 1999/44/CE.
This warranty does not affect the consumer’s rights provided for by the law, and specifically by the provisions of
Legislative Decree 2 February 2002 n. 24.
18.5. Product identification
N-Com products are identified by means of a code that allows product
traceability and identification.
The identification code is listed on the Bluetooth M5 control unit and on
the outside of the sales package.
