The communication system has
been optimised for installation in
the following BMW helmets:
System 6 helmet
System helmet 6 EVO
System 7 Carbon
Airflow helmet
GS Carbon helmet
Different installation kits are avail-
able for the various helmets.
NOTICE
The descriptions and images in
these operating instructions re-
late to the BMW System 7 Car-
bon helmet. The functions de-
scribed also apply similarly to the
other BMW helmets.
The system is non-motorcycle-
specific and designed to be used
by rider and passenger on the
same motorcycle. Although it is
possible for the riders of two mo-
torcycles to communicate with
this system, the likelihood of vari-
ations in distance between the
two machines and the possibil-
ity of interference from external
sources mean that communica-
tion could not always be relied on
to function as it should.
Interference noise picked up by
the wind-protected boom mi-
crophone is automatically sup-
pressed, making communica-
tion from within closed helmets
possible, even at high speeds.
However, in open-faced helmets,
communication at high speeds is
only possible to a limited extent.
The microphone should always
be positioned as close to the
mouth as possible.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range
wireless technology. Bluetooth
devices are short-range devices
transmitting on the licence-
free ISM waveband (Industrial,
Scientific, Medical) between
2.402 GHz and 2.480 GHz. They
can be operated anywhere in the
world without a licence being
required.
Note on wireless connec-
tions:
Although Bluetooth is designed
to establish and sustain robust
connections over short distances,
as with every other wireless
technology disruptions are
possible. Interference can affect
connections or connections can
sometimes fail. Particularly when
multiple devices operate in a
Bluetooth network, with wireless
technology of this nature it is
not possible to ensure fault-
free communications in every
situation.
