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 B901 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. Disconnect the battery connector and let it dry as well.

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 w hile riding and at the sam e time allows
you to distinctively hear background noises.

The VOX function is disabled by default on the device.
You can enable / disable the “VOX” function and set the activation sensitivity,
using the N-Com EASYSET program or the N-Com EASYSET APP.
If the function is enabled, the system works as follows:
The intercom switches on automatically by saying any word out loud into the microphone of one
