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 Basic kit. 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 similar.
Caution: Installation of the N-Com Basic Kit system results in a weight increase of approximately 90 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. Reference standards

- 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 handle the cell phone while riding.
- In all cases, obey the Traffic Regulations and remember that riding the motorcycle has absolute priority over any other maneuver.
1.3. 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.

The Basic Kit is equipped with two connectors that house the cables for connection with devices that can be used with the N-Com system.
- 3.5 mm connector
(Fig. 25 - IN): Audio input. This can be used to connect a cell phone (using the Mobile Wire accessory described in par. 6) or an audio source (MP3 player, GPS navigators, bike-to-bike radio, etc…) by using the specific Multimedia Wire (see par. 6).
- 2.5 mm connector (Fig. 25 - OUT): Audio output. This is used to connect the pilot’s helmet to the passenger’s helmet when installing an Intercom Kit or Bluetooth Kit.
5. USING THE BASIC KIT WITH A CELL PHONE (N-Com Mobile)
The N-Com systems are preset for connection to a cell phone. By separately purchasing an N-Com connection cable, specific for your cell phone model, you can use the N-Com system as a simple earphone.
Note: Due to the varying strength of the network signal, there may be interferences in the wire connections which do not depend on the N-Com system or the cable used.
Note: In order to use the Basic Kit together with an N-com Intercom Kit or N-com Bluetooth Kit system, please refer to the specific instructions provided with these systems. In fact, in addition to the basic functions illustrated below, the N-com Intercom Kit or N-com Bluetooth Kit systems offer additional functions specific to these systems.
Note: The N-Com Mobile operation requires that the helmet be equipped with the Basic Kit and that the basic electronic card be inserted in the proper housing.
Caution: Listening to other devices must not interfere with driving the vehicle, which has absolute priority. All maneuvers on
electronic devices and on the N-Com system must be carried out with the vehicle stopped, in compliance with Traffic regulations.

Caution: Cell phones are equipped with their own volume adjustment. Adjust the cell phone volume levels so as to obtain
the desired volume prior to using the system while riding.
Caution: Listening at a very high volume may distract you from riding your vehicle and create dangerous situations or limit
the ability to hear background noises.
1. Connect the Mobile wire to the INPUT connector (3.5 mm jack).
2. Connect the Mobile wire to the cell phone.
3. Make sure that the cell phone displays the icon that signals connection to an earphone.
5.1. Answering a phone call
- Automatic answer Preset your cell phone for automatic answer when it is connected to an earphone. When a call comes in, you can talk through the Basic Kit microphone.
- Manual answer If your cell phone is not equipped with an automatic answering function, stop the vehicle in a safe place, in compliance with Traffic Regulations. Then answer your call normally and speak through your N-Com helmet.
Caution: Do not answer any calls while riding.
5.2. Making a phone call
Stop your vehicle in a suitable place in compliance with Traffic Regulations and make the phone call as you would normally with your cell phone. Once the phone call is sent, communication switches directly to the helmet.
Caution: Do not make any calls while riding.
5.3. Vocal calls and advanced functions
Some cell phones allow vocal calls or other functions using vocal commands by using a “magic word”. If your cell phone is equipped with this function, you can send a vocal command or function simply by saying the magic word previously recorded.
Note: If the cell phone allows it, it is better to record vocal commands directly from the helmet. This will facilitate recognition of the vocal command when the command is given directly from the helmet.
6. USING THE SYSTEM WITH OTHER AUDIO DEVICES
The N-Com system is preset for listening to different audio devices, which can be connected by means of the Multimedia wire (sold separately). You can listen to an MP3, an FM radio, or connect to a satellite navigation system, etc. by using the 3.5 mm output that these devices are generally equipped with for earphone purposes.
Caution: In compliance with Traffic Regulations, listening to other devices must not interfere with driving the vehicle, which
has absolute priority. All maneuvers on electronic devices and on the N-Com system must be carried out with the vehicle stopped, in conformity with applicable Traffic regulations.

Caution: Setting the volume at a very high level may distract you from riding the vehicle and cause dangerous situations or in
any case limit your ability to hear background noises. Adjust the volume to a suitable level prior to using the system while riding.
6.1 Connection with Multimedia Wire
Connect the 3.5 mm 4-pole connector of the Multimedia wire to the input connector (IN - see Fig. 26). Connect the other end of the Multimedia wire to the audio device. If the multimedia wire features a red band, this band is near the connector to be hooked into the audio device.

7. MAINTENANCE
The N-Com does not require any special maintenance tasks. In case you use the kit when it rains, remove the e-box from its housing and dry it with warm air. Wipe dry the outside of the helmet when wet, especially in the contact area. In case the kit gets wet several times, rust or corrosion may form, thus hindering the electrical contact. In these cases, it is recommended to clean the contacts of the socket on the shell and on the e-box, using alcohol or another antirust product.
