Foam Earmolds:
Compress foam evenly and insert into ear.
Allow the foam to expand before putting on helmet. Hint:
Hook wire over your ear from front to back to keep the
earpieces in your ears better.
Custom Earmolds:
Lightly moisten the earmold for
lubrication and they will go in the ear easier. The red
earmold is for the right ear.
Mic and Helmet Kit:
For the noise-cancelling Mic to be
effective it must be within 1/4" of your lips. If the Mic is 1"
away from your lips, your voice will be cancelled along
with ambient noise. Speak directly into the Mic, but DO
NOT SCREAM.
Car Antenna:
We suggest using the car antenna on tracks
greater than 5/8 mile. Use the rubber ducky antenna on
short tracks.
Radio Adjustments:
After strapping into the car, plug the
helmet kit into the car harness. Turn the radio on after the
earpieces are in your ears. This will prevent overpowering
the earpieces which may damage the transducers and void
the earpieces warranty.
TIPS FOR THE DRIVER:
Before the race, meet with your driver and crew chief. Talk
about what they each need and expect from the spotter.
Remember that your primary responsibility is to be an
extra set of eyes for the driver.
At many race tracks, a "SPOTTER'S STAND" may be
available. If not, find a suitable location, preferably a high
spot in the grandstand with visibility to as much of the
track as possible.
If other spotters are around you, know who they are and
what teams they are spotting for and "team up" to work
together to get to the front (or stay up front).
Advise your driver of wrecks, debris, slow cars, caution
flags, etc.
REMAIN CALM when you need to let your driver know of a
problem on the track. Give brief clear instructions similar
to these - "SPIN-BACKSTRETCH" or "WRECK-TURN 3". Then
when you are sure, let the driver know where the clear
path is. NEVER say caution until the caution flag is out.
Monitor race officials on a race scanner. This will often
give you advance warning of a soon to happen caution,
rain on the track or a condition that could give your team
an advantage.
