6.3.2 GPS Pairing as Mobile Phone
If a GPS is not only used for turn-by-turn voice instructions but also is
your preferred Bluetooth stereo music source, you can pair the GPS to
the SF Series by following the simple procedures in

. However, since
some GPS systems support mobile phone bridging over Bluetooth,
you can pair the mobile phone to the GPS to use your mobile phone.
When you do this, the SF Series think the GPS is a mobile phone so
you can no longer pair your mobile phone to the SF Series directly.
Please refer to the user’s guide of your GPS for details.
6.4 Sena SR10, Two-Way Radio Adapter
You can use a two-way radio and an intercom conversation or a mobile

section 5.2, “Second Mobile Phone
). 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. You can listen
to music, answer a mobile call, have an intercom conversation and
use a two-way radio via the SR10 for group communication. Please

Answering (Default: Enable)
If this feature is enabled, you can answer incoming calls by voice.
When you hear a ringtone for an incoming call, you can answer the
phone by saying a word such as “Hello” loudly or by blowing air into
the microphone. VOX phone is temporarily disabled if you are
connected to intercom. If this feature is disabled, you have to tap the
Center Button to answer an incoming call.
15.6 Enabling/Disabling Voice Activated Intercom
(Default: Disable)
If this feature is enabled, you can initiate an intercom conversation
with the last connected intercom friend by voice. When you want to
start intercom, say a word such as “Hello” loudly or blow air into the
microphone. If you start an intercom conversation by voice, the
intercom terminates automatically when you and your intercom friend
remain silent for 20 seconds. However, if you manually start an
intercom conversation by tapping the Center Button, you have to
terminate the intercom conversation manually.
However, if you start intercom by voice and end it manually by tapping
the Center Button, you will not be able to start intercom by voice
temporarily. In this case, you have to tap the Center Button to restart
the intercom. This is to prevent repeated unintentional intercom
connections by strong wind noise. After rebooting the headset, you
can start intercom by voice again.
