PARTICIPANT
You can have a three-way conference phone call by adding an intercom friend to the mobile phone conversation. While
having a mobile phone call, make an intercom call to one of your intercom friends (B, C or D) by tapping the Center
Button once, twice or three times to form a three-way conference call with the person on the mobile phone line. To
disconnect the intercom first and go back to your private mobile phone call, terminate the intercom by tapping the Center
Button once. To end the mobile phone call first and maintain the intercom conversation, press the Center Button for 2
seconds, or wait for the person on the mobile phone line to end the call.

14. INTERCOM FAILURE
When you try to start an intercom conversation with an intercom friend who is already having a conference intercom with
other riders or a mobile phone call, you will hear a low tone double beep signifying an intercom busy signal. In this case,
you have to try again later.
15. INTERCOM RECONNECTION
If your intercom friend goes out of range while having an intercom conversation, you may hear static noise and eventually
the intercom will be disconnected. In this case, the NS10 automatically tries to reconnect the intercom every 8 seconds
and you will hear high tone double beeps until the intercom is reestablished. If you don’t want to make a reconnection, tap
the Center Button to stop the attempt.
16. FAULT RESET
When the NS10 is not working properly or is in faulty status for any reason, you may reset by pushing the pin-hole reset
button at the back of the headset main unit. Insert a paper clip into the reset pin-hole and press the reset button for a
second with light pressure. The NS10 will be switched off, and you have to turn the system back on and try again.
However, this will not restore the headset to factory default settings.
17. FIRMWARE UPGRADE
The NS10 supports firmware upgrade function. Please visit Sena Bluetooth web site at www.senabluetooth.comto

BATTERY INFORMATION
The NS10 has an internal, non-removable external, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to remove the battery from the
device as you may damage the device. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will
eventually wear out. Recharge the battery only with Sena approved chargers designated for this device. Use of an
unapproved charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
Always try to keep the battery between 15℃ and 25℃ (59℉ and 77℉). Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily. Battery performance is particularly
limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Never use any charger
that is damaged. Operating times are estimates only and depend on the devices used together, features used, battery
age and condition, temperatures to which battery is exposed, and many other factors.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The SHM10R should be treated with care and the following suggestions will help you protect your warranty coverage.
1. Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.
2. Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries,
and wrap or melt certain plastics.
3. Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside
the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
4. Do not attempt to open the NS10
5. Do not drop or knock the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and fine mechanics.
6. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.
7. Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
These suggestions apply equally to the headset main unit, speaker-microphone clamp unit, or power charger.
DISPOSAL
The crossed-out wheel bin symbol on the product, literature, or packaging reminds you that all electrical and electronic
products, batteries, and accumulators must be taken to separate collection at the end of their working life. This
requirement applies to the European Union and other locations where separate collection systems are available. To
