3. INSTALLING THE SNOWTALK ON YOUR HELMET

1. Place the left and right speakers in the ear pockets of your helmet. Make sure the speakers are facing towards your ears.

2. Hide the wires in the back of the helmet.

3. If you want to deliver your voice more clearly, you can install the external microphone on your helmet. Plug in the microphone to the right speaker.

4. Wrap the microphone’s velcro around the chin strap with the microphone facing downwards.

4. BASIC FUNCTIONS

4.1 Powering On/Off

To power on the Snowtalk, press the (L) Button and the (R) Button simultaneously for one second to power on. You will hear ascending beeps and “Hello”. To power off, press the (L) Button and the (R) Button at the same time. You will hear descending beeps and “Goodbye”.

4.2 Charging

When the battery is low, you will hear mid-tone triple beeps and a voice prompt, “Low Battery”. You can charge the Snowtalk by connecting the supplied USB power & data cable into a computer USB port or USB wall charger. You can use any standard micro-USB cable to charge the Snowtalk. The charging LED is red while charging, and turns to blue when the headset is fully charged. It takes about 2.5 hours to be completely charged.

Note:

1. The USB Power & Data Cable is also used for firmware upgrade of the Snowtalk.

2. The USB wall charger is not included in the package. Any 3rd party USB charger can be used with Sena products if the charger is approved by either FCC, CE, IC, or other locally approved agencies that Sena accepts. Please contact Sena regarding locally approved agencies Sena accepts.

4.3 Checking the Battery Level

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%

4.4 Volume Adjustment

| Snowtalk

You can adjust the speaker volume using the (R) Button. To increase volume, press the (R) Button once. To decrease volume, quickly press the (R) Button twice. You will hear a beep when the volume reaches maximum or minimum level. Each audio source’s volume is set and maintained independently at different levels even after you turn off the headset. For example, once you set the volume for mobile phone handsfree, it will not change even if you adjust the volume for Bluetooth MP3 music. So you can always maintain the preferred optimum volume level for each audio source.

4.5 Function Priority

The Snowtalk operates in the following order of priority:

(Highest) Mobile Phone

Intercom

(Lowest) Bluetooth Stereo Music

A lower priority function is always interrupted by a higher priority function. For example, stereo music is interrupted by an intercom call, and intercom conversation is interrupted by incoming mobile phone call.

5. PAIRING THE SNOWTALK WITH BLUETOOTH DEVICES

Before using the headset with any of Bluetooth devices for the first time, you need to pair them together. The Snowtalk can pair with Bluetooth mobile phones, Bluetooth stereo devices such as MP3, and with other Sena Bluetooth headsets. This pairing operation is required only once for each Bluetooth device. The headset will remain paired with the devices and automatically reconnect to them when they are within range. You will hear a high tone single beep and a voice prompt when 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

1. Turn on the headset and press the (R) Button for 5 seconds until you hear multiple beeps. You will hear a voice

prompt saying “Phone pairing”.

2. Search for Bluetooth devices on your mobile phone. Select the headset 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 confirms that pairing has been completed and the headset is ready to use. You will hear a voice

prompt from the headset saying “Your headset is paired”.

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

5.2 Multipoint Pairing

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

| Snowtalk

headset to connect with two HFP devices at the same time.

1. To pair another mobile phone, press the (R) Button for 5 seconds until you hear multiple beeps and hear a voice

prompt saying “Phone pairing”.

2. Within 2 seconds, tap the (R) Button. You will hear a voice prompt saying “Multipoint pairing”.

3. Search for Bluetooth devices on your mobile phone. Select the headset 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 been completed and the headset is ready to use. You will hear a

voice prompt from the headset saying “Your headset is paired”.

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

2. If you have a stand alone Bluetooth stereo device, follow the pairing procedure in “6.1 Mobile Phone Pairing”.

Note:

1. If Bluetooth connection between the headset and a mobile phone is disconnected, tap the (R) Button for one second to recover the Bluetooth connection immediately.

2. If Bluetooth connection between the headset and a media player is disconnected, press the (L) Button for one second to recover the Bluetooth connection and play.

5.4 Intercom Pairing with other Snowtalk headsets

The Snowtalk can be paired with up to three other headsets for Bluetooth intercom conversation.

1. Turn on the two Snowtalk headsets (A and B) that you would like to pair with each other.

2. Press and hold the (L) Button of the headset A and B for 5 seconds. You will hear a voice prompt saying “Intercom pairing”.

3. Simply tap the (L) Button of any one of the two headsets A or B (It doesn’t matter that you choose A or B.) and wait until the intercom connection is established. The two headsets A and B will be paired with each other for intercom conversation. If the pairing process is not completed within one minute, the Snowtalk will return to stand-by mode.

4. You can make other pairings between the headset A and C, and between the headset 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 first intercom friend. The previous intercom friend becomes second

intercom friend, and third intercom friend. For example, after the pairing procedures listed above, headset D is the first 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.
