Nolan N-Com helmets have been type-approved according to standard ECE 22-05 currently in force in Europe) with the N-Com system installed. Consequently, Nolan helmets comply with legislative requirements, even when they are equipped with one of the N-Com communication systems.

The volume of the system not only depends on the N-Com system, but also on the devices it is connected to (Mp3 players, mobile phones, radios, etc...).

Important: Adjust the volume of the N-Com system (where possible) and of the audio sources connected to it before using the system on the road.

Important: Adjust the volume of the N-Com system (where possible) and of the audio sources connected to it before using the system on the road. Prolonged exposure to high volume sounds might result in hearing damage.

Important information to avoid hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss might result from using the N-Com system at a high volume. Set the volume at a safe level. With time, listening to high volume sounds might feel normal, however it does lead to hearing damage. If you hear buzzing or muffled sounds, stop the playback and have your hearing checked. If you keep the volume low, you can increase your listening time without damaging your hearing.

There are many factors that affect communication (aerodynamic exposure of the motorcycle, helmet used, environmental noise, etc…), so it is impossible to define a limit beyond which communication becomes unacceptable.

Basic kit2 was devised for easy installation inside the helmet by the user. No special equipment or modifications are required for the helmet, since the helmet itself is designed to house the N-Com communication system.

No. The Nolan Group devised the N-Com system specially for Nolan helmets with N-Com attachments. These helmets are recognisable by the N-Com symbol on the left side of the helmet. For a list of helmets with N-Com attachments, please visit the website.

Use of the right cable depends on the N-Com system used. To see all the possible configurations, visit the "Compatibility" section.

N-Com consists of a modular product range that allows several configurations, with different characteristics and functions.
Visit the "Configurator" section and find out which Kit to buy.

The Basic Kit system always works in Mono mode, while the Basic Kit2 is designed for playback in Stereo mode.

Basic Kit2 works in stereo mode only when connected to a Bluetooth Kit2 or when used alone with a Multimedia Wire2 cable.

Basic Kit2 is equipped with an audio input connector (IN) for connection to external audio sources (Mp3 players, GPS systems). It is also equipped with an output connector (OUT) for intercom connection to Basic Kit2-equipped

Basic Kit2 can be used without a microphone without compromising the N-Com system functionality. However, system functions will be limited because it will not be possible to answer or make phone calls, nor to talk with the passenger.

The basic configuration includes: a Nolan helmet equipped with N-Com, a Basic Kit specific for the helmet, a Mobile Wire specific for your mobile phone.

Mobile phones usually send the ring tone inside the helmet. Some phones fail to do this, because it is thought that the tone can be heard through the earpiece. In these cases, if the tone is not heard while riding, we suggest that you activate Vibracall and keep the phone close to your body.

You can answer the phone in one of the following ways:

• By setting automatic answer on your phone (refer to the user’s manual of your mobile phone). This way, your phone will answer automatically and you can speak directly from your helmet.
• By stopping the vehicle in a suitable place, in compliance with the Highway Code, then answering the call by pressing the answer button on your phone. Continue the conversation directly from your helmet.

The Basic Kit is not equipped with an amplification system for the phone signal. Consequently, you can only adjust the volume level through the settings on the phone itself.

In case your new mobile phone has a different connection, you only have to buy the connection cable (Mobile Wire) specific for your new phone.
Visit the "Compatibility" section for details.

The system sometimes picks up interferences generated by the GSM network or by the mobile phone. These can be more intense in areas with poor GSM (or UMTS) signal, or in case you are switching from one repeater to another. Keep your mobile phone away from your helmet in order to limit these interferences.

Unfortunately, some phones perform badly due to their software. In this case, first connect the Mobile Wire to the mobile phone and then to the helmet, then make sure the earphone icon is displayed.

Intercom kit is the wire intercom system that allows motorcyclists to speak with their passengers (both Nolan helmets must be pre-set for N-Com and equipped with the Basic kit). The package contains: Intercom e-box, Intercom Wire, battery, battery charger.

First of all, two N-Com Nolan helmets. Both helmets must be equipped with the Basic Kit. Next, only one Intercom Kit is needed. This way, both helmets will be connected via cable (cable supplied with the Intercom Kit) and intercom communication will be possible.

Transmission is always active between the two helmets.

When the system is on, press and release the "" or "" keys to adjust the volume. There are 7 volume levels. Each time “” or “” are pressed (a confirmation beep is heard in the earphones), the volume goes up or down a level, until a high (maximum) or low-pitched (minimum) beep is sounded.

No. The system automatically dampens noise, achieving excellent filtering to allow calls even at very high speeds.

• Make sure that the passenger helmet has a Basic Kit with electronic card correctly positioned underneath the protective plate 
• Make sure you have properly connected the intercom wire: the smaller connector goes into the rider's helmet, the larger one goes into the passenger’s helmet
• Make sure the microphones are turned on by pressing the "" button for approx. 2 seconds until you hear a beep.

If you answer the call by pressing the “on” button, rider-passenger communication is interrupted automatically. On the other hand, if the mobile phone is set for automatic answer, press “on” to exclude the passenger from the call.

In compliance with the Highway Code, the rider can make a call in one of the following two ways:

• By making the call according to the procedure for your phone, with the call going straight through the helmet without having to press any keys;
• If the mobile phone allows the call, press and hold the “on” key for at least 2 seconds to disconnect the passenger and activate the voice mode. Next, follow  your mobile phone instructions for making calls or for other voice controls.

The system sometimes picks up interferences generated by the GSM network or by the mobile phone. It may be more intense in areas with poor GSM (or UMTS) reception or when passing from one repeater to another. Position the phone away from the helmet to limit this interference.

Some phones make this noise in the microphone channel, which ends up in the passenger's earphone when the Intercom system is used. N-Com cannot filter this signal. Some phones stop sending this ticking noise when voice commands, such as the "magic word", are activated.

Connect only the helmet equipped with the e-box (the rider’s) to an audio source using the special multimedia wire. Music can be heard in both helmets unless the passenger is deliberately

If the rider is connected to the passenger and to an Mp3 player at the same time, both helmets can hear the music.
Intercom mode remains active even with music in the background.
The system also has a mute system, which turns off both microphones, avoiding interference from the microphone while listening.
To activate the “Mute” mode, press and hold the "" for approx. 3 seconds (beep heard in the earphones).

It is possible to deactivate the intercom connection so that the passenger is unable to hear either the music or the rider’s voice.

Make sure that the rider and the passenger are properly connected via the intercom wire. Also make sure that the rider-passenger communication is active by pressing and holding the "" button for approx. 2 seconds (beep heard in the earphones).

No, only the rider can resume communication.

Yes, you can listen to Mp3 tracks. In case of incoming or outgoing phone calls, the Mp3 player stops and playback has to be resumed manually.

By using two helmets that are both equipped with B4 systems (or subsequent versions), bike-to-bike communication is possible up to a maximum distance of about 800 metres, in open field, with no obstacles.

In case the bike-to-bike intercom is open and connection with the other pilot is lost due to range limits being exceeded, the system will automatically reconnect as soon the two motorcycles are within a distance such as to allow communication.

Bike-to-bike communication between an N-Com B4 system and another Bluetooth N-Com system will be possible up to the maximum distance allowed by the Bluetooth system with shorter range.

Sound quality depends on the audio equipment used and on the volume level. The volume of the audio device or of the N-Com system should be adjusted so that it is not too high, as this might distort the sound.

Warning: Listening to other equipment should not interfere with driving the vehicle, which is top priority. Carry out all operations on the electronic equipment and on the N-Com system with the vehicle stopped, in compliance with Traffic Regulations.

Warning: Listening to high volume levels can distract you from driving the vehicle and may result in dangerous situations or reduce the ability to hear external noise.

Warning: Listening to high volume levels may result in hearing damage.

Yes, by downloading the “N-Com Wizard” programme from the "download" section.

The B4 system is certified by the Bluetooth SIG Association, and it is therefore compatible with mobile phones equipped with a certified Bluetooth system. However, not all the functions on mobile phones might be available. For further information, refer to the Internet site.

Yes. The B4 system allows each helmet, the rider’s or the passenger's, to maintain connection to the phone and to the other helmet.

The connection between the rider's helmet and the passenger's is put on hold and the rider is able to take the call. The passenger will not hear the caller's voice, and will not be heard by the caller.
Rider and passenger will be automatically reconnected at the end of the phone call.

When a call comes in on a mobile phone connected via Bluetooth to a B4, the Pilot-Passenger intercom is temporarily cut off. If you wish, however, you can share the incoming call with the other helmet by simply opening the intercom manually during the phone call (by briefly pressing "on").

Caution: this function is available only if the Pillion Passenger helmet is also equipped with a N-Com system provided with the same function.

You can listen to music via Bluetooth connection with a mobile phone in Stereo mode if the mobile phone is equipped with an A2DP profile. To check if this is the case, please refer to your mobile phone manufacturer’s webpage or go to www.a2dp.info.
Some mobile phones send music to the helmet by means of the Hands-Free (HF) profile, which is normally used for phone calls. The resulting audio quality will be inferior and sound will be emitted in Mono mode.

The B4 system can only connect to one device at a time. However, it can store more than one device previously paired up. When turned on, the system automatically searches for the last used device that can be found in its range.

This function is only possible in case the paired-up devices (MP3 players, mobile phones) are equipped with A2DP profile.

A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) is a Bluetooth profile for high sound quality playback from an audio source equipped with this profile. N-Com system is equipped with A2DP and can therefore be connected to mobile phones or music players that reproduce audio using this profile.

Please refer to your mobile phone manufacturer’s webpage or go to www.a2dp.info.

AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) is a specific Bluetooth profile designed to control, via Bluetooth, Mp3 players (or mobile phones) equipped with A2DP. With the N-Com B4, you can use the Play, Pause, Forward (Next track) controls directly from the helmet, with no need for manual operations from the connected device.

Yes. Just pair up the N-Com B4.

Yes. However, one signal will overlap the other.

Press "" for 2 seconds to activate the "Pause" control during Bluetooth audio playback. The audio via cable will still be transferred.

Both rider and passenger will be able to hear the music. If the passenger is disconnected, he/she will be cut off and will not be able to listen to the music. While music is playing, the intercom is on and you can talk with music in the background.

No. Another helmet cannot be connected via Bluetooth if the A2DP profile is used.

No. It is not possible to connect a passenger and an Mp3 player via Bluetooth at the same time.

If the two helmets are connected via Bluetooth, both can use the "IN" connector to connect to an audio device. The audio from the connected devices will be heard by both rider and passenger.

Proceed as follows: pair up the mobile phone with the N-Com B4. The “music via A2DP” connection is activated when you access the first menu of the N-Com system. The connection may require a few seconds (up to 10), and will be confirmed by an acoustic signal in the helmet. To start playing music, press “▲” for 2 seconds. You will now be able to listen to music in the helmet (only when you are on the first menu of the N-Com device).

N.B.: With certain mobile phone models, in order to activate music via A2DP, you may have to start playing the music FIRST from the mobile phone and THEN from the N-Com device.

If you want to talk in intercom mode with your pillion passenger, however without sharing with him/her the audio coming from an external source or from the built-in FM radio, you can carry out the “Bike-to-Bike” pairing up between the two N-Com systems, following the procedure described in the User manual.
By doing so, rider and pillion passenger can talk to each other, yet each one can listen to their own favourite radio station or external multimedia source.
In the “Bike-to-Bike” mode, the Conference Call and GPS functions ARE NOT active.

The system has been tested with some satellite navigators. It is recommended to refer to the compatibility table on the Internet site. Nolan cannot guarantee proper operation with GPS systems that have yet to be tested.

The B4 system can manage both connections (GPS system and passenger's). During communication between the GPS system and the helmet, the intercom connection is interrupted and only resumed at the end of the GPS communication.

Thanks to the GPS Conference Function, you can keep the "Pilot-Passenger" intercom open even while the satellite navigator is giving instructions, thus preventing the intercom to be turned off every time a message comes in from the navigator.

Note: this function is available only if the Pillion Passenger helmet is also equipped with a N-Com system provided with the same function.

The B4 system can only connect to one device at a time. Some GPS navigators allow Bluetooth connection to specific mobile phone models.
In these cases, the B4 will allow connection to a navigator and, through the navigator, to your mobile phone. Check the compatibility of your mobile phone with the navigator.

You have to answer by pressing the answer button on the navigator. Once the call has been answered, it will be transferred to the helmet. You then have to hang up through the navigator as well. If the phone is connected to the navigator, and the latter is connected to the N-Com system, it will not be possible to answer the call from the helmet.

This configuration is possible if the two helmets – equipped with a N-Com, X-Series, MULTI Bluetooth system - are less than 50 metres apart.

If the connection fails (a failed Bluetooth connection is signalled by a beep in the earphone), briefly press and hold the “on” button (acoustic signal). This activates the search for the other helmet.

Sound quality depends on the audio equipment used and on the volume level. The volume of the audio device or of the Bluetooth system should be adjusted so that it is not too high, as this might distort the sound.

Warning: Listening to other equipment should not interfere with driving the vehicle, which is top priority. Carry out all operations on the electronic equipment and on the N-Com system with the vehicle stopped, in compliance with Traffic Regulations.

If the two helmets are connected via Bluetooth, both can use the "IN" connector to connect to an audio device. The audio from the connected devices will be heard by both rider and passenger.

Bluetooth intercom transmission of music sources (FM radio or MP3 reader connected via wire) occurs through a “Bluetooth Intercom” communication profile. This type of Bluetooth communication protocol is the “mono” type, with low quality. This means that the pillion passenger will hear music sources at a lower audio quality compared to the rider, in any event maintaining the balancing of voice communication at a higher level.
If you do not wish to share audio sources with the helmet connected via intercom, you can pair up the helmets according to the “Bike-to-Bike” mode (see controls diagram). By doing so, the audio of incoming sources will not be transmitted to the other helmet. The pillion passenger will be able to choose his/her favourite radio station, while keeping the Bluetooth intercom connection open with the rider.

Proceed as follows: pair up the mobile phone with the N-Com Bluetooth Kit3. The “music via A2DP” connection is activated when you access the first menu of the N-Com system. The connection may require a few seconds (up to 10), and will be confirmed by an acoustic signal in the helmet. To start playing music, press “▲” for 2 seconds. You will now be able to listen to music in the helmet (only when you are on the first menu of the N-Com device).

The Bluetooth Kit2 system implements the A2DP profile for music playback from sources connected to the system via Bluetooth. It is also designed to operate both the intercom connection and the rider-passenger connection from your mobile phone. Bluetooth Kit2 also allows listening to music in stereo mode when used together with a Basic Kit2 or a Multimedia Wire2 cable.

Bluetooth Kit2 can be used with a helmet equipped either with Basic Kit2 or Basic Kit. Bluetooth Kit2 automatically detects which Basic Kit is being used and it will work in mono mode with Basic Kit and in stereo mode with the Basic Kit2.

After installing the Bluetooth Kit2 (see instruction leaflet), you only need to pair up the Bluetooth Kit2 system with your mobile phone. In case the passenger's helmet is also equipped with an N-Com, X-Series or MULTI Bluetooth Kit system, you will also need to pair up the two N-Com systems (see instruction leaflet).

No. All pair-ups are stored in the memory, even when the helmets are switched off, and are maintained when the helmets are switched on again.

The N-Com Bluetooth Kit2.1 system allows bike-to-bike communication between two Bluetooth Kit2.1 (or future versions) or Bluetooth Kit MULTI up to a distance of about 150 m (in open field, with no obstacles).

Bluetooth Kit2 system versions prior to version 2.1 function within significantly shorter ranges.

• "" and "" pressed simultaneously to disconnect.

You can listen to music via Bluetooth connection with a mobile phone in Stereo mode if the mobile phone is equipped with an A2DP profile. To check if this is the case, please refer to your mobile phone manufacturer’s webpage or go to www.a2dp.info .
Some mobile phones send music to the helmet by means of the Hands-Free (HF) profile, which is normally used for phone calls. The resulting audio quality will be inferior and sound will be emitted in Mono mode.

Yes. Each time "" or "" " are pressed (a confirmation beep is heard in the earphones), the volume goes up or down a level, until a high (maximum) or low-pitched (minimum) beep is sounded. There are 7 volume levels, from a minimum level to a maximum level.

The Bluetooth2 system can only connect to one device at a time. However, it can store more than one device previously paired up. When turned on, the system automatically searches for the last used device that can be found in its range. If more than three devices have been paired up, the connection can be activated directly from the device.

• After installing the Basic Kit correctly, make sure that the Bluetooth system is working by switching on and adjusting the volume.
• Switch the e-box off again and pair up the N-Com Bluetooth Kit2 with the mobile phone
• Check that the pair-up is correct by making and receiving a phone call.

To answer the call, stop the vehicle in a suitable place (in compliance with the Highway Code), then briefly press one of the three buttons ("on", "" and ""). “Briefly” means anything up to 1 second, depending on the phone used (not on the N-Com system).

This problem occurs ONLY for software versions 2.00 or older (check software version by pairing up the Bluetooth Kit2 with any mobile phone and then reading the name displayed on the device screen). The problem can be solved by using the control that deactivates A2DP connection on the passenger's helmet (press "" for 2 sec.). This will eliminate any feedback.

Unfortunately, some phones perform badly due to their software. Although the phone does not allow voice calls, it stays connected to the N-Com system so you can still receive phone calls. Normally, receiving a phone call solves the problem. Should this fail to work, switch the phone off and switch it on again.

This anomaly, found in some software versions of the N70 model, is linked to improper management of voice calls. If the phone continues to cause problems, you will have to make calls directly from the phone. Do not make calls while you are riding

No, you cannot listen to the radio directly from a Nokia N70 that does not broadcast radio sound via Bluetooth.

This function is only possible in case the paired-up devices (MP3 players, mobile phones) are equipped with A2DP profile.

A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) is a Bluetooth profile for high sound quality playback from an audio source equipped with this profile.  N-Com Bluetooth Kit2 is equipped with A2DP and can therefore be connected to mobile phones or music players that reproduce audio using this profile.

Please refer to your mobile phone manufacturer’s webpage or go to www.a2dp.info

AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) is a specific Bluetooth profile designed to control, via Bluetooth, Mp3 players (or mobile phones) equipped with A2DP. With the N-Com Bluetooth Kit2, you can use the Play, Pause, Forward (Next track) controls directly from the helmet, with no need for manual operations from the connected device.

Yes. Just pair up the N-Com Bluetooth Kit2.

Check if the A2DP profile has been installed on your mobile phone, or if it transfers music via HFP (Hands-Free Profile). With HFP, the resulting audio quality will be inferior and sound will be emitted in Mono mode. To check if your mobile phone is equipped with A2DP, please refer to the documentation supplied with the phone or go to www.a2dp.info

Yes. However, one signal will overlap the other.

Press "" for 2 seconds to activate the "Pause" control during Bluetooth audio playback. The audio via cable will still be transferred.

Make sure the Bluetooth music player with A2DP profile is disconnected by pressing "" for 2 seconds. If the Bluetooth music player is connected, the intercom connection cannot be activated.

Both rider and passenger will be able to hear the music. If the passenger is disconnected, he/she will be cut off and will not be able to listen to the music. While music is playing, the intercom is on and you can talk with music in the background. To mute the microphones, reducing the noise they pick up , you can activate the "mute" function (press the "" button for 4 seconds - double sound signal). To deactivate the "mute" function, press the "" key for 4 seconds.

No. Another helmet cannot be connected via Bluetooth if the A2DP profile is used.

No. It is not possible to connect a passenger and an Mp3 player via Bluetooth at the same time.

Yes. The passenger will be able to listen to the music from the rider's Mp3 player and you will be able to talk to each other in intercom mode. The passenger will listen to high quality sound music in mono mode.

If the two helmets are connected via Bluetooth, both can use the "IN" connector to connect to an audio device. The audio from the connected devices will be heard by both rider and passenger.

Yes. Once the N-Com system is paired up with and connected to the phone, the music is played directly through the N-Com system. If a phone call is received or made, the Mp3 player is stopped and playback has to be resumed manually.

Notes: The N70 phone is not equipped with A2DP. Mp3 tracks will be played in Mono mode and with low quality sound.

The system has been tested with some satellite navigators. It is recommended to refer to the compatibility table on the Internet site. Nolan cannot guarantee proper operation with GPS systems that have yet to be tested.

You will need a cable connection to listen to high quality sound music with Garmin ZUMO. With a Multimedia Wire2 cable connection, you will be able to listen to high quality sound music in Stereo mode, but not to use a phone connected via GPS system. If you use a Multimedia Wire cable, you will be able to listen to high quality sound music in Mono mode. Bluetooth connection to the Garmin ZUMO allows listening to low quality sound music (Hands-free Bluetooth profile).

The Bluetooth Kit2 system can manage both connections (GPS system and passenger's). During communication between the GPS system and the helmet, the intercom connection is interrupted and only resumed at the end of the GPS communication.

During connection with a satellite navigator, you will be able to talk with the passenger in intercom mode via cable connection. When receiving directions from the satellite navigator, the intercom mode will be momentarily paused and then automatically resumed. If the satellite navigator is used as an Mp3 player, the intercom mode is interrupted and the passenger will need to be reconnected.

The Bluetooth Kit2 system can only connect to one device at a time. Some GPS navigators allow Bluetooth connection to specific mobile phone models.
In these cases, the Bluetooth Kit2 will allow connection to a navigator and, through the navigator, to your mobile phone. Check the compatibility of your mobile phone with the navigator.

You have to answer by pressing the answer button on the navigator. Once the call has been answered, it will be transferred to the helmet. You then have to hang up through the navigator as well. If the phone is connected to the navigator, and the latter is connected to the N-Com system, it will not be possible to answer the call from the helmet.

The problem presents itself when the Bluetooth Kit2 card used on the rider’s helmet is equipped with a firmware version prior to 2.02; in this case, after a few connection and disconnection cycles of the Bluetooth intercom, the passenger’s card may stop working; you will have to remove it from the helmet to make it work again.
Turn to your local dealer to have the software in the rider’s card updated.

The problem presents itself when the Bluetooth Kit2 card used on the rider’s helmet is equipped with a firmware version prior to  2.1; in this case, upon receiving several messages from the navigator one right after the other, it may happen that the two cards cannot complete the disconnection and reconnection cycle, consequently the Bluetooth intercom is not automatically restored when the navigator is done giving directions.
In this case, you will have to turn the passenger’s card on and off to properly restore all connections.
Turn to your local dealer to have the software in the rider's card updated.

Every time you do an update of the Zumo 660, the GPS generate "false pairings" that fill all the available memory. In fact, after updating of the Zumo, in the List of paired devices, you can see "blank dots" with no paired devices. To solve the problem, you have to erase all the pairings and try again to pair the Kit Bluetooth to the Zumo.

Yes, it is possible. Follow this procedure:

• disconnect the "Bluetooth" from the GPS of the BMW (if present)
• pair via Bluetooth the audio system of the BMW with the helmet equipped with Bluetooth Kit2.1, following the standard pairing procedure (see Instructions for use).

It is now possible to listen in the helmet to all the signals coming from the bike (FM radio, MP3 audio, etc.) and the GPS directions.

With this configuration, it is not possible to keep the intercom connection via Bluetooth to the pillion simultaneously active. In order to speak to the pillion, it is necessary to connect the two helmets via cable by means of an Intercom Wire.

Yes, all Bluetooth phones are compatible with N-Com. However, functions and characteristics may vary according to the type of software installed on the phone.

After installing the Bluetooth kit (see instructions booklet) the only specific procedure required is to pair up the Bluetooth e-box with your phone and, if the passenger helmet is equipped with the N-Com Bluetooth Kit, the two N-Com systems must also be paired up (see the instructions booklet).

No. All pair-ups are stored in the memory, even when the helmets are switched off, and are maintained when the helmets are switched on again. The pair-up procedure needs to be repeated only when pairing up other systems (phone, e-box, N-Com, GPS, etc.).

The range offered by the Bluetooth kit is around 10 metres. When the distance between two helmets increases, connection fails. Only when the two helmets return within the range (10 metres) you need to press the "" button for two seconds to reconnect the intercom.

The range offered by the Bluetooth kit is around 10 metres.
If connection fails (a failed BT connection is accompanied by a beep in the earphones), press and hold the "" key on the rider’s e-box for about  2 seconds (sound signal). This activates a search

N.B.: Only the rider's e-box can connect to the passenger.

When the system is on, press and release the "" or "" keys to adjust the volume. There are 7 volume levels. Each time "" or "" are pressed (a confirmation beep is heard in the earphones), the volume goes up or down a level, until a high (maximum) or low-pitched (minimum) beep is sounded.

This configuration is possible but you will need to use the adaptor for the Bluetooth Kit to make it work with the Basic Kit2. Without the adaptor, the sound will be emitted by one loudspeaker only.

The rider can answer a call in one of two ways:

• Automatic answer: Set this function on your phone (if available) and the call goes straight through the helmet without you having to press any key.
• Manual answer: If the phone paired up with the helmet receives a call, a special tone is sounded instead of the ring tone (this tone depends on the phone).
  To answer the call, stop the vehicle in a suitable place, in compliance with the Highway Code, and then briefly press "on".

To make a call, the rider has to:

• Stop the vehicle in a suitable place, in compliance with the Highway Code
• Disconnect the passenger by pressing “on” for about 2 seconds
• Make the call according to the instructions for your mobile phone (or press the “on” key briefly to activate voice controls).
• At the end of the call, you can reconnect the passenger by pressing and holding the "" key for 2 seconds (beep in earphones).

This configuration is only possible if the passenger’s helmet is also equipped with the Bluetooth e-box. Moreover, if the phone allows intercom and a phone connection at the same time, you can connect to both devices simultaneously (phone and the passenger's Bluetooth e-box). If the phone does not allow this function, you have to choose which connection to use while riding (phone or the passenger’s Bluetooth e-box). You can still switch from one connection to the other.

The connection between the rider’s helmet and the passenger's is put on hold and the rider is able to take the call. If the rider and passenger are connected via cable, the passenger will hear the rider’s voice during the call, but will not be able to hear the caller and, in turn, will not be heard. The passenger is completely disconnected in the case of Bluetooth intercom.

After stopping the vehicle in a suitable place, in compliance with the Highway Code, the rider can answer the call by pressing “on” briefly. “Briefly” means anything up to 1 second, depending on the phone used (not on the N-Com system).
If the procedure does not work, make sure that the helmet and the N-Com e-box are paired up with the right profile: Hands-Free (HF) or Headset (HS). If it is not possible to know which profile your phone uses, try out the HS profile first and then try the HF profile, checking the relevant instructions carefully.

• After properly installing the Basic Kit, make sure that the Bluetooth e-box is working by switching on the volume and adjusting it.
• Switch the e-box off again and pair up the N-Com Bluetooth Kit with the mobile phone.
• Check that the pair-up is correct by making and receiving a phone call. Remember that if you have paired up a phone with a Hands-Free profile, you have to connect the phone to the helmet every time the N-Com system is switched on by briefly pressing the “on” key. The connection request will be displayed on the phone, or you will be connected immediately and a symbol will be shown on the phone display.

When using mobile phones with this profile, if the other person hangs up first, the phone disconnects from the helmet when the rider presses the “on” key.

Press “on” briefly to establish the connection.

The Nokia 6600 uses the Hands-Free profile, supported by N-Com. The connection between phone and N-Com is always active. An incoming call is sent to the helmet. Voice commands can be used with this phone. However, you cannot use the Bluetooth intercom and connection to the phone at the same time, so you have to choose whether you want to connect to the phone or to the passenger via Bluetooth. If the user requires both connections, we recommend configuration with one Bluetooth e-box only (which connects to the phone) and a connection to the passenger by cable.

The phone has a peculiar functioning due to the software installed by the manufacturer and not to  the N-Com System. After pairing up the helmet with the right profile – Headset (HS), the earpiece symbol will not appear on the display.
When the rider receives a call, the phone begins connection with N-Com system automatically. At the end of the call, the phone needs about 10 seconds to close the Bluetooth connection; after this time, the N-Com system reconnects to the passenger automatically.
When the rider makes a call, the rider has to first connect his phone by pressing “on” briefly. At the end of the call, the connection between mobile phone and N-Com system stays active and you cannot switch automatically to the intercom. Only by switching off and then switching on the Bluetooth e-box can the rider end the Bluetooth connection and activate the intercom.

The Nokia N70 uses the HF profile. Pair it up again with the right profile and switch off the phone and the helmet at the end of the operation to memorize the pairing up. After pairing up, press briefly “on” to connect the N-Com system to the mobile phone. The earpiece symbol will appear on the mobile phone. To disconnect the helmet from the mobile phone press both "" and "" buttons at the same time and keep them pressed for about 2 seconds.

Unfortunately, some phones perform badly due to their software. Although the phone does not allow voice calls, it stays connected to the N-Com system so you can still receive phone calls. Normally, receiving a phone call solves the problem. Should this fail to work, switch the phone off and switch it on again.

This anomaly, found in some software versions of the N70 model, is linked to improper management of voice calls. If the phone continues to cause problems, you will have to make calls directly from the phone. Do not make calls while you are riding.

No, you cannot listen to the radio directly from a Nokia N70 that does not broadcast radio sound via Bluetooth.

This anomaly is due to the software version installed in the mobile phone. You can solve this problem by updating the phone software to  version v6.03.08.
If you cannot update the software installed in the phone, you have to make sure that the phone did not lose connection with the helmet; to establish the connection briefly press the "on" button of the N-Com system. If the connection fails, switch off the mobile phone and switch it back on.

Both rider and passenger hear the music. If the passenger is disconnected, he/she will be cut off and will not be able to listen to the music. While music is playing, the intercom is on and you can talk with music in the background. To mute the microphones, reducing hissing from the microphones, it is possible to activate the Mute function (press the "" for 2 seconds). To deactivate the mute function, press the "" key for 2 seconds.

Yes. After pairing up the N-Com system to the mobile phone (see the HF pairing up procedure) and connecting the mobile phone to the N-Com system (press briefly the “on” button), the music is transferred to the N-Com system directly. If the rider receives or makes a call, the Mp3 stops and needs to be manually reactivated.

Yes. After pairing up the N-Com system to the mobile phone (see the HF pairing up procedure) and connecting the mobile phone to the N-Com system (press briefly the "on" button), the navigator information is transferred to the helmet. The navigator can receive the GPS signal by means of an external antenna connected to the phone via Bluetooth.

The e-box does not turn on.

• Make sure the battery is charged
• Make sure you have pressed the "on" key for at least 2 seconds

I cannot pair up the second helmet.

• Make sure that both e-boxes are turned off at the start of the operation
• Make sure the keys flash rapidly after pressing the "ON" key
• Remember to press the "ON" key of the rider’s helmet during the pairing up procedure
• Make sure there are no other Bluetooth devices turned on nearby the helmets that may interfere with the pairing up

If you paired N-Com B4 with I-Phone and then erased the B4 from the memory of the mobile phone, to do another pairing between I-Phone and B4 it is necessary to:

◦ RESET the paired devices from the memory of B4 (see Manual Instruction of B4)

◦ Repeat the pairing between B4 and I-Phone

The problem occurs only in case the N-Com system has a software version prior to 3.12 installed.
You can download software version 3.12 from the N-Com Wizard programme, in the Download section.

If you paired Bluetooth Kit3 with I-Phone and then erased the Bluetooth Kit3 from the memory of the mobile phone, to do another pairing between I-Phone and Bluetooth kit3 it is necessary to:

• RESET the paired devices from the memory of Bluetooth kit3 (see Manual Instruction of Bluetooth kit3)
• Repeat the pairing between Bluetooth Kit3 and I-Phone

The problem occurs only in case the N-Com system has a software version prior to 3.12 installed.
You can download software version 3.12 from the N-Com Wizard programme, in the Download section.

This anomaly is due to the software installed in the mobile phone.
