9. Trouble shooting 

 

Questions Answers 

 

While using voice activation the 
transmission is being cut out 
while trying to communicate to 
other riders 

Position the microphones directly kissing your lips and speak 
without pausing. The closer the microphones is to your lips, the 
clearer you can transmit.   

I don’t hear group 
communication 

Adjust the microphones sensitivity to a lower setting (counter 
clockwise) 

Transmission range is a lot 
shorter than it is claimed.   

Make sure you're clear of power lines. Foliage, hills, and buildings. 
Those obstacles will reduce the maximum transmission range. Even 
weather makes a difference. 

I can hear too much surrounding 
noise while hearing the 
transmission from other group 
members 

Add foam or cotton directly to the tip of the microphones and place 
the wind sock over it. 

I can not listen to music from my 
Bluetooth enabled MP3 player 
after I paired it with X1slim 

Allow up to 30 seconds for the devices to pair and the music should 
automatically start playing through the headset. If this does not 
occur after 30 seconds, turn off the unit and follow the steps again 
from the beginning.
