DEVICES

Before using the 10S Bluetooth headset with any other Bluetooth

devices for the rst time, you will need to pair them together. You can

pair the 10S with Bluetooth mobile phones, Bluetooth stereo devices

such as MP3 players, or motorcycle specic Bluetooth GPS navigation,

and with other Sena Bluetooth headsets. The pairing operation is
required only once for each Bluetooth device. The headset remains
paired with the devices and automatically reconnects to them when
they are within range. You will hear a high toned single beep and a

voice prompt whenever the headset reconnects to the paired device:

“Phone connected” to a mobile phone, “Media connected” to a
Bluetooth stereo device.

5.1 Mobile Phone Pairing - Mobile Phone, Bluetooth
Stereo Device

1. Press and hold the Phone Button for 5 seconds until you hear a

voice prompt, “Phone pairing”.

2. Search for Bluetooth devices on your mobile phone. Select the

Sena 10S in the list of the devices detected on the mobile phone.

5.2 Second Mobile Phone Pairing - Second Mobile
Phone, GPS, and SR10

Typical Bluetooth headsets can connect with only one Bluetooth
device, but a second mobile phone pairing allows the headset to
connect with another Bluetooth device such as a second mobile
phone, an MP3 Player, or the Sena SR10, the Bluetooth adapter.

1. To pair the second mobile phone, press and hold the Jog Dial for

5 seconds until the red LED ashes rapidly and you hear a voice

prompt, “Intercom pairing”.

Note:

1. If you have two audio (A2DP) devices connected to your headset then
the audio from one device will interrupt the audio from the other device.
For example, if you are playing music from the primary mobile phone,
then it can be interrupted by playing music from the secondary mobile
phone and vice versa.

2. You have to use a motorcycle specific GPS, which transmits turn-by-turn
voice instructions to the headset by Bluetooth. Most automotive GPS
systems do not have this feature.

3. The Sena SR10 is a Bluetooth two-way radio adapter for group
communication, and uses Hands-Free Profile. The incoming audio from
the two-way radio via SR10 is heard in the background while having an
intercom conversation or a mobile phone call.

4. The GPS navigation or a radar detector could be connected to the SR10
by wire. The GPS voice instruction or the radar detector alarm is also
heard in the background via SR10 while having an intercom conversation
or a phone call. Please refer to the SR10 User’s Guide for details.

10S

4. You can make other pairing between headsets A and C, and
between headsets A and D by following the same procedure as
above.

5. The intercom pairing queue is ‘Last-Come, First-Served’. If a
headset has multiple paired headsets for intercom conversations,
the last paired headset is set as rst intercom friend. The
previous intercom friend becomes second intercom friend, and
third intercom friend.

Note:

For example, after the pairing procedures listed above, headset D is the

rst intercom friend of headset A. Headset C is the second intercom
friend of headset A, and headset B is the third intercom friend of headset

A.

6.4 Sena SR10, Two-Way Radio Adapter

You can use a two-way radio and the 10S Bluetooth intercom
simultaneously by using the Sena SR10, a Bluetooth Two-way Radio
Adapter (please refer to

Second Mobile Phone, GPS, and SR10”

section 5.2, “Second Mobile Phone Pairing -

). Incoming audio from the
two-way radio will not interrupt an intercom conversation but is heard
in the background. This is useful when you have an intercom
conversation with a passenger on the back seat and use a two-way
radio for group communication with other motorcycle riders.

1. When you have an incoming mobile phone call during an
intercom conversation, you will hear a ringtone. You can choose
whether to

conversation, or 2) reject the phone call and stay on the intercom
conversation.

1) To answer the phone call and stop the intercom conversation,

tap the Phone Button or the Jog Dial. The VOX Phone feature
does not work if you are connected to intercom. When you hang
up the phone call, the intercom will automatically be recovered.

2) To reject the phone call and stay on the intercom conversation,

press the Jog Dial for 2 seconds until you hear a beep.

Unlike other motorcycle Bluetooth headsets, this prevents a
user from being dropped out of an intercom conversation by an
incoming mobile call.

1) answer the mobile phone call and stop the intercom

2. When you have an incoming intercom call during a mobile phone
call, you will hear 4 high toned beeps, alerting you that there is
an incoming intercom call. You will also hear a voice prompt,
“Intercom requested”. In this case, the intercom call does not
override the mobile call because intercom has lower priority than
mobile call. You have to hang up the mobile phone call to make or
receive an intercom call.

3. You can have a three-way conference phone call by adding an
intercom friend to the mobile phone conversation. During a mobile
phone conversation, tap the Jog Dial to invite one of the intercom
friends to the mobile phone line. To disconnect the intercom

rst and go back to your private mobile phone call, terminate

the intercom by tapping the Jog Dial. To end the mobile phone

11 UNIVERSAL INTERCOM

You can have an intercom conversation with non-Sena Bluetooth
headsets using the Universal Intercom function. Non-Sena Bluetooth
headsets can be connected to the Sena Bluetooth headset if they

support the Bluetooth Hands-Free Prole (HFP). The working distance

may differ depending on the performance of Bluetooth headset that it
is connected to. In general, it is shorter than normal intercom distance

since it uses the Bluetooth Hands-Free Prole. The Universal Intercom

affects both the phone call connection and the multipoint connection
(mostly used for GPS connections for riders). You cannot use a
multipoint connection device while you are using the Universal
Intercom in case as below.

English

10S

1. If a non-Sena headset does not support a multipoint connection,
it cannot use a phone call connection while using the Universal
Intercom.

2. As for Sena headsets, the Universal Intercom affects the multipoint
connection.

3. If non-Sena headset (already paired as Universal Intercom with
Sena) is turned on, then the multipoint connection is automatically
deactivated. And the non-Sena headset is automatically
connected to Sena headset as a Universal Intercom. So you
cannot use multipoint connection devices such as GPS, while a
non-Sena headset is turned on.

4. Even though you disconnect the non-Sena headset as a Universal
Intercom, it will not automatically restore the multipoint connection.
To restore the multipoint connection, you should turn off the

non-Sena headset rst, then try to connect to multipoint device

manually from the device screen or simply reboot the device so
that it automatically connects to the Sena headset.

11.1 Universal Intercom Pairing

The 10S can be paired with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets for Bluetooth
intercom conversation. You can pair the 10S with only one non-Sena
Bluetooth headset so if you pair with a different non-Sena Bluetooth
headset, the previous pairing will be removed.

1. Turn on the 10S and a non-Sena Bluetooth headset that you want
to pair with.

2. Press the Jog Dial for 10 seconds to enter the conguration menu.
Rotate the Jog Dial until you hear a voice prompt, “Universal

double tap with the second intercom friend, and triple tap with the
third intercom friend.

Non-Sena Bluetooth headsets may initiate the Universal Intercom
connection, by activating the voice dialer or using the redialing
operation. You may also disconnect the existing connection by using
the operation to end a call (refer to

the User’s Guide of the headsets

for voice dialer, redialing, and ending a call).

11.3 Three-way Universal Intercom

You may make a three-way Universal Intercom connection with two
10Ss and one non-Sena Bluetooth headset. If the intercom connection
is made, all headsets connected cannot use the mobile phone call
function since the connection between the headset and the phone is
disconnected temporarily. If you disconnect the intercom call, the
mobile phone connection is made again automatically so that you can
use a mobile phone call function.

conversation, you may hear static noise and eventually the intercom
will be disconnected. In this case, the 10S automatically tries to
reconnect the intercom every 8 seconds and you will hear high tone
double beeps until the intercom is reestablished. If you do not want to
make a reconnection, tap the Jog Dial to stop the attempt.
