1.0 PrEPArAtIon/AssEMBLY
InterphoneFBEAt is a modular audio kit made up of a Blue-
tooth® module (the core of the system) (A), a double slide
support system for the module (E/D) and an audio kit with
a double microphone to be installed inside the helmet (C/B)
Before configuring the InterphoneFBEAt, you should check
the website for software updates that could improve the
performance of the FBEAt. If there are any updates, instal-
lation is recommended.
Verify compatibility with the operating system on your PC,
then download the file and the attached instructions that
will guide you through the update process.
1.1 Mounting the bracket on the helmet
The InterphoneFBEAT has two mounting systems (small
plates) (E/D) that you can install on the helmet . Choose the
system that is better suited to the type of helmet you are
using .
Equipped with a sliding latch system, the plates support
and lock the FBEAT Bluetooth® module into position . One
system is applied using an adhesive system (E), and the
other uses a clip (D) .
Thanks to the sliding latch system on the plates, the FBEAT
module can easily be removed for recharging, updating,
security against theft, and use on other helmets that have
already been prepared with other kits designed for each
type of helmet .
The kits for an additional helmet all consist of an audio sec-
tion with earphones/microphone, along with two support
plates for the module .
The kits for an additional helmet are optional and can
have a different structure and operation . For more in-
formation, consult the accessory section on our website,
www .interphone .com
we recommend using the adhesive plate (E) since it is
more aerodynamic and can be placed wherever you like on
the surface of the helmet . This allows you to choose point
that best suits the shape of the helmet shell to maximize ap-
pearance and adhesion .
On the other hand, the adhesive plate cannot be reposi-
tioned . Once it is applied, it cannot be removed because the
3M adhesive that provides its excellent holding power does
not allow for a change of position . If the plate is removed, it
must be replaced with a new one .
Carefully choose the most suitable point before application .
the clip-on plate (D) is better for those who do not want
to apply permanent adhesive to their helmet or would like
to be able to remove the plate and use the helmet with no
accessories installed .
The clip-on plate requires that the helmet allow part of the
plate to be inserted between helmet shell and cheekpad .
The cheekpads on some helmets are glued or have special
seals that prevent the plate from being inserted correctly or
require the helmet to be modified, which not everyone is
willing to do . In these cases, it’s better to choose the adhe-
sive plate .
Both brackets can only be installed on the left side of the
helmet .
Installation with (adhesive) plate
Take the adhesive plate, but do not remove the protective
film on the back . Place the plate on the left side of the hel-
met shell . Now, move it around and find the position where
it will adhere and function best . Before applying it, mount
the FBEAT module on the plate and check whether the posi-
tion you chose could disturb the driver by causing interfer-
ence or discomfort (check visor, opening, etc . . .) .
Carefully clean and degrease the point chosen for apply-
ing the plate . Do not use strong detergents that could ruin
the paint on the helmet . After cleaning the helmet shell,
remove the protective film from the double-sided adhesive
strip and apply the plate on the helmet . Press quickly on the
plate to attach the strip firmly .
After application, it is a good idea to let the 3M adhesive act
on the helmet for 12 hours before using the helmet .
Installation with the clip-on (removable) plate
Check the type of helmet you have and make sure that the
clip can be inserted between helmet shell and cheekpad .
Otherwise, use the adhesive plate .
Take the clip-on plate, loosen the two screws and remove
the rear section .
On the left side of the helmet, locate the most suitable point
for inserting the clip, slide the rear section of the clip in be-
tween the helmet shell and the cheekpad, and let the end
(with the holes for the screws) protrude on the outside . Now,
try to join the front section of the clip onto the rear section.
Depending on the thickness/radius of the helmet, it may be
necessary to use the adapter (J) to compensate for the dis-
tance between the two sections so that the clip still adheres
to the helmet shell when the screws are tightened .
Tighten the screws with the screwdriver provided . Do not
use excessive force when tightening the screws . You could
break all or part of the clip .
If you are also using the adapter for the clip, you must re-
place the two screws installed in the clip with the longer
ones supplied with the unit .
1.2 Installing the audio section
Wear the helmet and locate the exact point where your
ears are positioned inside .
If the internal fabric of the helmet allows it, try to apply
the two earphones in the audio kit directly at the points
you determined . The Velcro on the back of the earphone
will often adhere perfectly to the material in the helmet
without the need to use the fabric strip (I) with double-
adhesive . Otherwise, if the material is unmanageable,
apply the strip of fabric at the point you previously deter-
mined and place the earphone on the strip .
Put on the helmet once again and check whether the ear-
phones are correctly positioned . They must be centred
and come slightly in contact with your ears .
If the helmet allows it, it’s a good idea to insert the ear-
phones under the cheekpad fabric, which requires more
time and care to accomplish but makes the internal kit
almost invisible and more comfortable .
Thread the cable with plug under the cheekpad and
around the helmet while trying not to lay it over itself or
twist it . Then, pull it out on the left side as far as it will
go . Afterwards, when the plug is connected to the FBEAT
module mounted on the support, you can push the ex-
cess cable back inside and leave only as much as you
need on the outside .
Microphone (B) - if possible, slide the microphone arm
through the hole in the chin strap and below the cheek-
pad so that the microphone is more stable and less ob-
trusive . It should be possible to position the microphone
with foam windscreen (14) in front of your mouth, but it
may be left slightly to the side of the mouth .
After installation is complete, make sure that the wording
MIC on the foam windscreen on the microphone arm fac-
es your mouth and preferably points toward your eyes .
1.3 recharging
The InterphoneFBEAT must be charged before use .
Once mounted on the helmet, connect the recharger ca-
ble provided (F) to a USB port, then insert the recharger
cable plug into the outlet on the audio kit connector (16)
correctly inserted in the InterphoneFBEAT module .
The charge LED turns orange (7) during charging.
When the battery is fully charged, the LED will turn green .
About two hours are needed to charge the FBEAT mod-
ule completely . Two modules can be charged together in
around three hours .
We recommend turning the module off before recharg-
ing the FBEAT .
