2. Installing the Headset on Your Helmet
2.1. Helmet Installation
To securely install the headset on the helmet, please follow this procedure.
1. Insert the back plate of the clamp unit between the internal padding and the external shell of the
helmet, and tighten the two screws.
Note:
Depending on the size and shape of your helmet, you may need to change the thickness of the rubber
pad between the clamp plates using the two extra rubber pads in the box. To increase the overall
thickness, attach the thinner one to the original rubber pad or replace the original rubber pad with the
thicker one.
2. Make sure that the microphone is located properly close to your mouth when you wear the
helmet. Adjust the direction of the microphone so that the fin side of the microphone is facing
outward, away from your lips.
3. 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.
Note:
1. The speaker with the shorter wire is for the left ear and the speaker with the longer one is for the
right ear.
2. To enhance the audio quality, you can make use of the foam speaker covers. Cover each
speaker with the foam and attach the hook fastener at the back of the speaker. Then place the
speakers in the helmet as described above. Foam covered speakers work most effectively when
they are slightly touching your ears.
4. Attach the headset main unit to the clamp unit. Slide the main unit down onto the clamp unit until
it clicks firmly into the bottom portion of the clamp unit.
5. To remove the main unit from the clamp unit, press the Quick Release Button to slide it off the
clamp unit.
2.2. Using the Glued Surface Mounting Adapter
If you have any problem equipping the clamp unit on the helmet for any reason, you may use the glued
surface mounting adapter voice command to attach the clamp unit on the external surface of the helmet.
1. Remove the speaker unit.
2. Remove the back plate.
3. Remove the rubber pad and replace it with the thicker rubber pad included in the package.
4. Reconnect the speaker cable to the speaker port.
5. Hook on the adapter to the clamp unit then screw in the glued external adapter to the clamp unit.
6. Locate a proper surface on the helmet to attach the unit then clean the helmet surface location
with a moistened towel and allow to dry thoroughly.
7. Peel off the cover of the adhesive tape of the adapter and attach the unit on the proper surface of
your helmet.
CAUTION:
Sena recommends using the clamp unit. The glued surface mounting plate is provided for convenience,
but is not the recommended mounting method. Sena is not responsible for its use.
2.3. Switching the Microphone
If you want to use a different microphone instead of the static boom microphone, please refer to the
following steps.
1. Remove the back plate of the clamp unit.
2. Connect the microphone according to your helmet type.
3. Lock the microphone to the clamp.
4. Reattach the back plate to cover the microphone and the speaker port.
2.3.1. Wired Boom Microphone
When installing the included wired boom microphone, place the hook and loop fastener at the end of the
boom microphone between the internal helmet cheek pad and the internal wall of the helmet shell. The
boom microphone should be mounted so it is facing close to your mouth when you wear the helmet.
2.3.2. Wired Microphone
In case of the wired microphone, attach the enclosed hook and loop fastener for the wired microphone to
the inside of the chin guard for full-face helmets. Place the wired microphone on the hook and loop
fastener and connect it to the connector of the clamp unit.
2.4. Earbuds
You can connect your earbuds to the clamp while having the speakers connected to the clamp. The
sound of the earbuds will be active while the sound of the outer speakers becomes inactive.
2.5. External Mesh Intercom Antenna
Pull the Mesh Intercom Antenna outwards slightly to unfold it.
