Decide which side of the helmet you would prefer the lead and plug to hang from (normally the left

side) and then release and remove that side’s cheek pad so as to allow you fit the boom microphone

and main speaker harness behind it, with the boom coming up from behind the cheek pad area, up into

the visor area and then bent down (from between the outer shell and back of the cheek pad area) in

front of your mouth.

Remember you must position the microphone so that you speak into the beige side, so

orientate the boom, before fixing it to the outer shell of the helmet, so that when you bend it down

(over) to sit in front of your lips, you will have the beige side touching your lips.

If required fix the boom and also the main harness down lead to the inside of the outer shell of the

helmet using some of the Velcro supplied in the kit, which is usually very good for this purpose so long

as where applied is completely clean and dry (A).

While the cheek pad is removed you can see if the fabric is taped, glued or preferably elasticated

behind it.

MICROPHONE INSTALLATION

Top Tips (8)

Avoid crossing any wires with another or with the boom as this will create a higher than necessary

spot which may make it difficult to replace the cheek pad.

If your helmet has an air vent in the chin-bar (in front of your mouth) it is a good idea to cover and

seal this from the inside of the chin-bar so that the wind is not able to blast directly onto the back

of the microphone. This also helps to force more of the airflow up into the visor area which can often

make demisting the visor more effective for you.

With the microphone positioned close to your mouth, you may notice that it just clips your nose

when putting the helmet on and off. You can avoid this by learning a technique of slightly twisting

the helmet so that the boom clears your nose while putting the helmet on or off.

If your wires and/or boom microphone make replacing the cheek pad difficult DO NOT CUT the

polystyrene. You will normally find that only a VERY SMALL amount of extra space, or better

positioning, would remove all the pressure and so allow the cheek pad to fit.

Only if you have tried everything else first, including asking your dealer for advice and/or help

first, should you use your thumb (or something harder, smooth and rounded like the back of a small

screwdriver handle) to carefully compress JUST ENOUGH of the polystyrene for the wire/boom to

slightly recess into it, to help relieve any pressure points. This would NOT normally require more

than just 1 or 2 mm (

⁄16”) in an area no larger than required.
