devices can reliably communicate
is approximately ten metres.
The BMW Motorrad Fit-for-All
is a helmet-independent com-
munication system. It fits into
all BMW helmets. The BMW
Bowler helmet is the exception.
The BMW Motorrad Fit-for-All
communication system also fits
into all popular other-make hel-
mets. BMW Motorrad does not
guarantee this.
The system is non-motorcycle-
specific and designed to be used
by rider and passenger on the
same motorcycle. Although it is
possible for the riders of two mo-
torcycles to communicate with
this system, the likelihood of vari-
ations in distance between the
two machines and the possibil-
ity of interference from external
sources mean that communica-
tion could not always be relied on
to function as it should.
Interference noise picked up by
the wind-protected boom mi-
crophone is automatically sup-
pressed, making communica-
tion from within closed helmets
possible, even at high speeds.
However, in open-faced helmets,
communication at high speeds is
only possible to a limited extent.
The microphone should always
be positioned as close to the
mouth as possible.
Advanced Noise
Control™
Advanced Noise Control™ re-
duces background noise while
the motorcycle is on the move. It
is activated by default and cannot
be deactivated.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range
wireless technology. Bluetooth
devices are short-range devices
transmitting on the licence-
free ISM waveband (Industrial,
Scientific, Medical) between
2.402 GHz and 2.480 GHz. They
can be operated anywhere in the
world without a licence being
required.
Note on wireless connec-
tions:
Although Bluetooth is designed
to establish and sustain robust
connections over short distances,
as with every other wireless
technology disruptions are
possible. Interference can affect
connections or connections can
sometimes fail. Particularly when
multiple devices operate in a
Bluetooth network, with wireless
technology of this nature it is
not possible to ensure fault-
