Decide which side of the helmet
you would prefer the lead and
plug to hang from (normally the
left side) and then release and
remove that side’s cheek pad so
as to allow you fit the boom
microphone and main speaker
harness behind it, with the boom
coming up from behind the cheek
pad, up into the visor area and
then bent down (from between
the outer shell and back of the
cheek pad) in front of your
mouth.
Remember you must
position the microphone so
that you speak into the beige
side
. If required fix the boom
and also the main harness down
lead to the inside of the outer
shell of the helmet using some of
the Velcro supplied in the kit,
which is usually very good for
this purpose so long as where
applied is completely clean and
dry (A).
Plan where you want to position
the
ambient noise sensor
(ANS).
The typical positions are either between the head lining and cheek pad (B), near the visor area
or somewhere in between the neck draught excluder and helmet lining (C).
Depending on how much helmet noise gets to the ANS you will need to adjust and calibrate the system
to compensate, using the
Auto volume pre-set sensitivity control on the main units front panel
.
However you should avoid placing the ANS where water will be forced directly into it at high speeds,
and do not position the ANS too close to the helmet speakers or users mouth so as to prevent these
delivering any sound that may cause the automatic volume/VOX to adjust up.
While the cheek pad is removed you can see if the fabric is taped, glued or preferably elasticated
behind it.

Top Tips (6)
Avoid crossing any wires with another or with the boom as this will create a higher than necessary
spot which may make it difficult to replace the cheek pad.
If your helmet has an air vent in the chin-bar (in front of your mouth) it is a good idea to cover and
seal this from the inside of the chin-bar so that the wind is not able to blast directly onto the back
of the microphone. This also helps to force more of the airflow up into the visor area which can often
make demisting the visor more effective for you.
With the microphone positioned close to your mouth, you may notice that it just clips your nose
when putting the helmet on and off. You can avoid this by learning a technique of slightly twisting
the helmet so that the boom clears your nose while putting the helmet on or off.
