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.

6. PAIRING THE SMH5-FM WITH BLUE­TOOTH DEVICES

Before using the SMH5-FM Bluetooth headset with any of Bluetooth

devices for the rst time, you need to do the pairing operation. It can

be paired with Bluetooth mobile phones, Bluetooth stereo devices

such as MP3, or motorcycle specic Bluetooth GPS, and with other

Sena Bluetooth headsets. This pairing operation is only required once
for each Bluetooth device, and the headset will remain paired with
the devices and automatically connects to the paired devices again
when they are within range. You will hear a high tone single beep
and a voice prompt when the headset connects to the paired device

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

6.1 Mobile Phone Pairing

6.1.1 Mobile Phone Pairing

1. Turn on the SMH5-FM and press the Phone Button for 5 seconds

until the LED ashes red and blue alternately and you hear multiple

beeps. You will hear a voice prompt saying “Phone pairing”.

12

2. Search for Bluetooth devices on your mobile phone. Select the
Sena SMH5-FM in the list of the devices detected on the mobile
phone.

3. Enter 0000 for the PIN. Some mobile phones may not ask for the
PIN.

4. The mobile phone conrms that pairing has completed and the

SMH5-FM is ready to use. You will hear a voice prompt saying
“Your headset is paired”.

5. If the pairing process is not completed within three minutes, the
SMH5-FM will return to stand-by mode.

6.1.2 Multipoint Mobile Phones Pairing

You can simultaneously use two mobile phones which use the mobile

phone prole.

1. You can pair the rst mobile phone to the SMH5-FM by following

the simple procedures in “6.1.1 Mobile Phone Pairing”.

2. To pair the second mobile phone, press the Jog Dial for 5 seconds

again until the red LED is rapidly ashing and you hear multiple

beeps.

3. Within 2 seconds, tap the Phone Button again, then the LED turns

to blue ashing and the beeps turn to high tone double beeps. You

will hear a voice prompt saying “Multipoint pairing”.

4. Search for Bluetooth devices on your mobile phone. Select the Sena
SMH5-FM in the list of the devices detected on the mobile phone.

SMH5-FM

5. Enter 0000 for the PIN. Some mobile phones may not ask for the
PIN.

6.

The mobile phone conrms that pairing has completed and the

SMH5-FM is ready to use. You will hear a voice prompt saying
“Your headset is paired”.

6.2 Bluetooth Stereo Device Pairing

1. If the Bluetooth stereo device is integrated with the mobile phone
such as smartphones, you don’t need to pair the SMH5-FM with it
separately. When the SMH5-FM is paired with the mobile phone, it
is also paired as a stereo music device.
If you have a stand alone Bluetooth ster

2.

eo device, follow the
pairing procedure separately. The procedure is the same as the
procedure of “6.1 Mobile phone pairing”.

Note:

1. If Bluetooth connection between the headset and a mobile phone is
disconnected, tap the Phone Button to recover the Bluetooth connection
immediately.

2. If Bluetooth connection between the headset and a media player is
disconnected, press the Jog Dial for 1 second to recover the Bluetooth
connection and play.

6.3 Bluetooth GPS Navigation Pairing

You can listen to voice instruction from Bluetooth GPS navigation.

Some GPS systems use mobile phone prole (HFP, Hands-Free
Prole) and others use stereo music prole (A2DP, Advanced
Audio Distribution Prole). Most motorcycle specic GPS systems
use mobile phone prole for turn-by-turn voice instruction. You can

simultaneously use a mobile phone and a GPS which uses mobile

phone prole by one of the following procedures.

6.3.1 Multipoint GPS Pairing

If you use GPS only for turn-by-turn voice instructions, not for Bluetooth
stereo music streaming, multipoint pairing is recommended for the
GPS connection. Multipoint Bluetooth pairing allows the SMH5-FM

to connect two HFP devices at the same time: mobile phone and

GPS navigation. Follow the steps below to pair the GPS using the
multipoint pairing.

1. Turn on the headset and press the Jog Dial for 5 seconds until the

red LED is rapidly ashing and you hear multiple beeps.

2. Within 2 seconds, tap the Phone Button again, then the LED turns

to blue ashing and the beeps turn to high tone double beeps.

You will hear a voice prompt saying “Multipoint pairing”.

3. Search for Bluetooth devices on the GPS navigation screen. Select
the Sena SMH5-FM in the list of the devices detected on the GPS.

4. Enter 0000 for the PIN.
