III. Part Three: Mounting the Helmet Receiver Unit
Required Components:
•
(1) Helmet brake and signal light
•
(1) 3M Dual-lock
TM
mounting tape
•
(2) AAA batteries
•
(1) Alcohol pad
Instructions for Installing the Helmet Receiver Unit
Note:
Installation of the helmet receiver unit is only for those helmets whose outer shell is a hard
polycarbonate or similar material.
1. Install the batteries by removing the 2 screws on the base of the helmet receiver unit and carefully pull the base
and skirt away from the lens assembly.
Please note:
Be sure to install the batteries with correct polarity (as indicated). Do not overtighten the screws!
Just 3 inch-pounds of force (a gentle, finger tight) is necessary to tighten the back against the skirt gasket.
2. Locate one of the 3M Dual-lock
TM
tape coins. With the adhesive side out and the protective tape in place, pinch the
coin to the back of the helmet receiver
’s pre-installed 3M Dual-lock
TM
so that you have (2) pair of coins connected
by the Dual-lock
TM
fastener.
3. Locate the area on the back of the helmet where you wish to install the helmet receiver base. The area should be
smooth and clean. Without removing the protective tape to expose the adhesive, align the helmet receiver in the
best location on the back of the helmet. When wearing the helmet in a normal riding position, the helmet receiver
unit should point straight back. Test the area to ensure that the Dual-lock
TM
tape coin makes good contact and the
flexible skirt fills the gap as best as possible. This is a good time to have someone help you pick the best spot on
the helmet
– it may be higher than you think. Please test the unit to ensure the turn signals are correctly oriented!
Installation Tip:
•
The helmet receiver must be applied so that the logo and writing on the base is right-side up.
NOTE:
If
installed upside down, it will beep and flash continuously, when it initially connects to the motorcycle
to indicate that it is upside down.
This test only occurs when it initially connects to the motorcycle.
Be
careful not to remove and reinstall the helmet unit while the motorcycle is running since the test will not be
performed until the MC unit turns off and reconnects to the helmet unit the next time it is started. If installed
upside down the beeping and flashing will stop once corrected and the helmet receiver will return to normal
operation.
•
The 3M Dual-lock
TM
tape should be applied directly to the helmet surface and not over decals or vents. The
helmet and tape must be at room temperature. Once you have the area selected, use masking tape to mark
reference points where the top, bottom and sides of the base will be on the helmet. This will help you properly
align and attach the base.
4. Use an alcohol pad (included) to clean the mounting area on the helmet.
5. Remove the protective tape from the Dual-Lock
TM
pads on the helmet receiver base to expose the adhesive. Be
careful not to touch the adhesive with your fingers, and ensure it is not contaminated in any way prior to attachment
to your helmet.
6. Carefully align the base to the tape markings you made
(see second bullet under “Installation Tip” above) and affix
the base to the helmet.
