Thank you for choosing Autocom. Your Logic Independence Wireless hub-to-hub system is designed,
built and fully tested to provide you with many years of very high quality use and performance if
installed and used as described in these instructions.
Please take the time to fully read and understand these instructions before installation and use and feel
free to ask your Autocom dealer for advice, or call our help-line if anything is not perfectly clear and
understandable. Telephone: +44 (0)1926 431249 (UK). Email: [email protected]
It is very important to properly set up and use these products as designed. Please do not make any
modifications or try to use your system with any non recommended products or in any other way than
described.
Do not cut or modify your helmets.
It is common sense and the
law in some countries
that the rider of a vehicle be in control at all times,
which includes the ability to hear other road users warnings.
As such the
RIDER
should not have the
music volume so loud as to prevent this. Safety should always be your first priority and is ultimately
the responsibility of the rider
. Make sure that the quick release connectors are free to quick release in
the event of an emergency. Do not fix or tape them together.
The rider should only make adjustments while stationary, never while in motion. Always focus your
attention to riding and safety
and do not use the system in such a way as to interfere with this. The
added ability to communicate between rider and passenger and/or with other riders on other bikes can
considerably improve your safety, so become familiar with using the system to provide good advice
and/or warnings etc.
The two Logic Independence Wireless hubs supplied in Kit
L-IW come ready paired and with their own noise cancelling
8 ohm stereo headsets, plug-in noise cancelling boom
microphones, plus Velcro to aid fitting in some helmets,
plus 2 standard phone and stereo music leads.
The wireless link
between the two hubs is normally very
reliable when used between a rider and passenger on the
same bike and with no obstructions between the hubs.
Ideally each hub should be positioned in a clear line of site
and as close together as possible. The recommended
positioning is with the rider’s hub behind the rider and the
passenger’s hub in front of the passenger or with the hubs
in each user’s side pockets (or belts packs) on the same
side as each other.
It should be noted that the reliability of the wireless link will
be reduced if for example the rider’s hub was in front of the
rider (in a tank bag etc) and/or the passenger’s hub is
placed behind the passenger (with your bodies/s between
to two hubs).
The wireless link has a range of
up to 10 metres
and was
factory paired and fully tested at 5 metres range as part of
our quality control procedure. Normally the system will be
used at less than 1 metre apart and so should be very
reliable.
Customers should be aware
that the wireless link
can sometimes disconnect (
drop out
) and if this happens
the hubs are designed to, and will normally automatically
reconnect within seconds, however sometimes you may have
to manually re-establish the wireless link by powering down
and then repowering the two hubs.
Please note that each hub is only splash resistant; it is not designed to be completely sealed, allowing
it to breathe, which helps to prevent a build-up of condensation that can develop due to internal heat
from the power regulator and main high power amplifiers. Please ensure the hubs are used in a water
resistant pocket or optional suitable belt pack to help prevent excessive water contamination.
Please
ask your supplier about optional belt cases.
With proper understanding, some people may feel that the advantages of wireless systems are
outweighed by their disadvantages over wired systems. Each type has benefits and disadvantages over
each other so please ask your Autocom dealer to explain this for you.
The logical mixing and control design not only provides wireless communications between the rider and
passenger hubs, but also allows each hub to interface independently with various other audio devices
such as bike-to-bike radio, GPS, phones, stereo music and/or radar detectors etc, simply by selecting
the optional interfaces to suit your specific needs. It is designed and sold this way to save you cost, as
to include all possible parts/options for every potential variation would not be practical or cost effective.
Your Autocom dealer should be able to help you choose what optional parts you may require.
Each independent hub is designed for portable use using either three AA batteries or rechargeable
batteries (in each hub), or an optional two-part bike power lead. Again none of these power methods
are supplied as standard in the kit so that you can choose and buy only the parts you want. We
recommend only using the best batteries available for extended duration and performance or the
optional bike power lead for unlimited duration and performance.
The front panel
on each user’s hub has a
master volume control (green)
and
voice activation
(VOX) sensitivity preset control (purple)
so that you can independently preset each user’s volume
and VOX levels on their own hub to suit individual needs (with or without earplugs etc). The front panel
on each user’s hub has a small breakaway section to provide access to the internal
Aux 1
connector
(for optional bike-to-bike radio interface lead) plus the
user’s headset lead
and 3 sockets for
Aux 2,
3 and 4
as clearly shown on the label.
Aux 5
is for an internal
optional plug-in stereo Bluetooth
module
(Part 2217) which can connect to suitable phones and/or stereo music devices.
