2. Attach the headset main unit to the clamp. Insert the main unit in
the clamp until you feel the click that signals a secure attachment.

3. If you have any problem mounting the clamp unit on the helmet for
any reason, you may use the glued surface mounting plate which
can be attached to the external surface of the helmet.

• Locate a proper surface on the helmet to attach the unit, clean

the helmet surface location with a moistened towel, and allow to
dry thoroughly.

• Peel off the cover of the adhesive tape of the plate and attach

the unit on the proper surface of your helmet.

Note:

Sena recommends the clamp unit over the glued surface mounting plate.
Even though the glued surface mounting plate is provided for convenience,
Sena does not assume any responsibility for use of it. Users may have to
use the glued plate at their own risk and responsibility.

4. Place the helmet speakers along with the hook and loop fasteners,
centered to your ear, in the ear pockets of the helmet. If the helmet
has deep ear pockets, you can use the speaker pads to place the
speakers closer to your ears.

5. Attach the boom microphone included in the “Basic Kit” between
the internal padding and the external shell. The boom microphone
should be mounted on the inside surface of the external shell so
it is facing properly towards your mouth. Please make sure that
the microphone is located close to your mouth when you wear
the helmet. You can use the enclosed hook and loop fastener and
holder for the boom microphone to ensure secure placement.

SMH5

In the case of the wired microphone included in the “Full-face

Helmet Kit”, attach the enclosed hook and loop fastener for wired
microphone to the inside of the chin guard for full-face helmets.
Place the wired microphone on the hook and loop fastener and
attach it to the connector of the speaker cable.

6. When you use the boom microphone included in the “Basic Kit”,

please make sure that the n side of the microphone is facing

outward; away from your lips. You can easily recognize it by

touching the n with your ngers.

n

7. To remove the headset main unit from the clamp, please make sure

to pull out the speaker cable connector from the main unit rst.

English

You can check the battery level in two different ways when the
headset is powering on.

indicating the battery level.

4 ashes = High, 70~100%

Phone Button simultaneously for about 3 seconds until you hear
three high tone beeps. Then you will hear a voice prompt indicating
the battery level. However, if you release the buttons as soon as the

level.
