will hear ascending beeps and “Hello”.

1.2 Powering Off

Tap the Center Button and the (+) Button simultaneously (you don’t need to press and hold in order for the system to

power off). The red LED turns on for about 2 seconds until it turns off completely and you will hear “Goodbye” and

descending beeps.

1.3 Charging

The charging LED beside the charging port turns on red while charging, and turns to blue when the headset is fully

charged. It takes about 2.5 hours to be completely charged. You can use the EXPAND while charging. It is especially

helpful when you use a cigarette charger for a long road trip.

1.4 Low Battery Warning

When the battery is low, the blinking blue LED in stand-by mode turns to red and you will hear mid-tone triple beeps and a

voice prompt, “Low battery”.

1.5 Checking the Battery Level

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

1.5.1 LED Indicator

When the headset is powering on, the red LED flashes rapidly indicating the battery level.

4 flashes = High, 70~100%

3 flashes = Medium, 30~70%

2 flashes = Low, 0~30%

1.5.2 Voice Prompt Indicator

When you power on the headset, keep pressing the Center Button and the (+) Button simultaneously for several seconds

until you hear high tone triple beeps. Then you will hear voice prompt indicating the battery level. However, if you release

the buttons as soon as the headset turns on, you will not hear the voice prompt of battery level indication.

2. Volume Adjustment

| EXPAND

You can easily adjust the volume by tapping the (+) Button or the (-) Button. You will hear a beep when the volume

reaches maximum or minimum level. The volume is set and maintained independently at different levels for each audio

source even when you turn off and on the headset. For example, once you set the volume for mobile phone handsfree, it

will not change even if you adjust the volume when you hear Bluetooth MP3 music. So you can always maintain the

preferred optimum volume level for each audio source.

4. PAIRING THE EXPAND WITH BLUETOOTH DEVICES

Before using the EXPAND Bluetooth headset with any of Bluetooth devices for the first time, you need to do the pairing

operation. It can be paired with Bluetooth mobile phones, Bluetooth stereo devices such as MP3, or motorcycle specific

Bluetooth GPS, and with Bluetooth adapter or transmitter such as Sena SR10 or SM10. This pairing operation is only

required once for each Bluetooth device. 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.

4.1 Mobile Phone Pairing

1. To enter into the voice configuration menu, press and hold the Center Button for 10 seconds until you hear a voice

prompt, “Configuration menu”.

2. By tapping the (+) Button, you will hear a voice prompt, “Phone pairing”.

3. Search for Bluetooth device on your mobile phone. Select the Sena EXPAND in the list of the devices detected on

the mobile phone.

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

5. The mobile phone confirms that pairing has completed and the EXPAND is ready to use. You will hear a voice

prompt, “Your headset is paired”.

| EXPAND

6. If the pairing process is not completed within three minutes, the EXPAND will return to stand-by mode.

4.2 Multipoint Pairing

Typical Bluetooth headsets can connect with only one HFP (Hands-Free Profile) device, but multipoint pairing allows the

headset to connect with two HFP devices at the same time. So, when you already have a mobile phone connected with

the EXPAND, you can also pair and connect a second mobile phone or other HFP devices such as GPS or Sena SR10,

Bluetooth adapter.

1. To enter into the voice configuration menu, press and hold the Center Button for 10 seconds until you hear voice

prompt, “Configuration menu”.

2. Double tap the (+) Button then you will hear voice prompt, “Multipoint pairing”.

3. If you want to pair a second mobile phone, search for the Bluetooth device on your mobile phone, and select the Sena

EXPAND in the list of the devices detected on the mobile phone.

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

5. The mobile phone confirms that pairing has completed and the EXPAND is ready to use. You will hear a voice prompt,

“Your headset is paired”.

6. If you want to pair a GPS by multipoint pairing, search for the Bluetooth device on the GPS screen, and select the

Sena EXPAND at step 3. Please refer to the section “7.4.1 Multipoint GPS Pairing” for more details.

7. If you want to pair the Sena SR10, Bluetooth adapter, please refer to the section “7.5 Pairing with the Sena SR10,

Bluetooth Two-way Adapter”.

4.3 Bluetooth Stereo Device Pairing

If the Bluetooth stereo device is integrated with the mobile phone such as smartphones, you don’t need to pair the

EXPAND with it separately. When the EXPAND is paired with the mobile phone, it is also paired as a stereo music device.

If you have a stand alone Bluetooth stereo device, follow the pairing procedure separately. The procedure is the same as

the procedure of “6.1 Mobile Phone Pairing”.

Note:

1. If a Bluetooth connection between the headset and a mobile phone is disconnected, press the Center Button for 3

seconds until you hear a high tone single beep to recover the Bluetooth connection immediately.

2. If a Bluetooth connection between the headset and a media player is disconnected, press the Center Button for 1

second to recover the Bluetooth connection and play.

4.4 Bluetooth GPS Navigation Pairing

You can listen to voice instruction from Bluetooth GPS navigation. Some GPS systems use mobile phone profile (HFP,

Hands-Free Profile) and others use stereo music profile (A2DP, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). Most motorcycle

specific GPS systems use mobile phone profile for turn-by-turn voice instruction. You can simultaneously use a mobile

phone and a GPS which uses mobile phone profile by one of the following procedures.
