Installation for ¾ shell and modular style helmets:
1.
Using one of the headset speakers as a gauge, make sure there is enough
room in the ear pocket of the helmet. If there is not enough room for your ear
speaker, then you will have to enlarge the opening. This can be accomplished
by pulling the inner liner down exposing the polystyrene, then cutting a small
half moon shape to accommodate the speaker. Remove the polystyrene in
small amounts, go slowly and double check your work to ensure the best fitment
possible.
2.
Use alcohol and a clean towel to remove any debris or residue in the bottom of
the helmet’s ear pockets.
3.
Route the microphone boom behind the cheek pad on the left side of the helmet.
4.
Peel off the protective backing from the hook and loop ring on the back of the
speaker housing. Stick the speaker into the ear pocket.
Installation for full face helmets:
1. Most full-face helmets have a cheek pad or a complete chin guard
assembly which can be removed. Each helmet manufacturer has a
different method for padding and cheek pads, but in general, note where
your ears sit in your helmet before proceeding. For most people with a
properly fitted helmet, their ears sit approximately where the chin-strap
for the helmet emerges. Remove this section, being careful not to
damage the polystyrene.
2. With the speakers as a guide, mark a spot on the polystyrene that aligns
the speaker to your ear. Using an X-Acto knife cut a hole for the
speakers, one on each side. The hole should be snug to allow for a tight
fit, remember to remove the polystyrene in small amounts, go slowly and
double check your work to ensure the best fitment possible.
3. Route the microphone behind the left side cheek pad. Using an X-Acto
knife create a hole at the front of the cheek pad so the microphone boom
can stick though it.
4. Peel off the protective backing from the hook and loop ring on the back
of the speaker housing. Press the speakers into the holes in the cheek
pad and reinstall the cheek pad/chin guard into the helmet.
5. Use a blunt object, such as the eraser side of a pencil, to push the
speaker connecting wire between the foam pad of the helmet and the
helmet shell. Generally, all helmets have a rubber seam the runs around
the lower edge of the helmet across the sides and back, you will have to
remove this. Route the cable between the speakers under the padding
behind the head, which you can access normally only by removing that
rubber seam.
