ATTACHING THE CLAMP ON THE HELMET
The Helmet Clamp must be attached to the left side of the helmet.
Once attached, the headset unit can be mounted or released from
the Helmet Clamp at any time. There are two methods that can be
used in order to attach the Clamp onto the helmet:
Standard Method: Recommended for most helmet types.
Glue Plate Method: Recommended for helmets
to which the standard method cannot be applied,
using the Glue Plate included in the box.
Standard Method
1. Use the enclosed Allen Wrench to loosen
the two screws on the Back Plate.
2. Slide the Back Plate between the internal
padding and the external shell of the
helmet.
3. Adjust the Clamp’s location so that the
microphone is located opposite the center of your mouth,
and then tighten the screws.
You may need to reposition
the Clamp repeatedly until
you identify the best spot. The
microphone must be positioned
vertically and not horizontally.
Glue Plate Method
You have the option to glue the Helmet Clamp onto your helmet,
when the above standard method cannot be used, or in case you
prefer to secure the Helmet Clamp with adhesive glue. This option
has been successfully used for a range of high end helmets.
NOTE: While we have no reason to believe that the gluing op-
tion might negatively aect any helmet, Cardo does not
assume any responsibility to that aect, irrespective of
its nature and circumstances. The Glue Plate is oered
as a free option that you may choose to use at your own
risk and subject to renouncement of any future claims.
Caution: This process can be done only once!
1. Use the enclosed Allen Wrench to remove both Allen
screws and release the Helmet Clamp’s back plate.
2. Determine the location on the helmet where the
Helmet Clamp must be attached.
3. Adjust the Helmet Clamp’s location on
the Helmet so that the microphone
is located opposite the center of your
mouth. You may need to reposition
the Clamp repeatedly until you identify
the best spot. The microphone must be
positioned vertically and not horizontally (Be sure to clean the selected
area prior to the gluing process as described in # 4 below).

4. Use the pre-moistened Towelette to clean the helmet
area where you want to install the Glue Plate. Allow to dry
thoroughly.
5. Peel the foil cover from the Glue Plates’ adhesive pad.
6. Place the Glue Plate into position according to #3. Press rmly 15
seconds on all 3 parts of the Glue Plate.
7. The adhesive pad bonds to full strength over the next 24 hours.
Therefore it is recommended to not use the headset during this 24
hour period.
8. Fasten the Clamp to the Glue Plate using the Allen screws that were
previously removed.
POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS
Attach the speakers to the Velcro
inside your helmet opposite your ears
(short speaker cord for the left ear [A]
and the long speaker cord [B] for the
right ear). You may want to use the
supplied Velcro pad.
Using two speakers inside the helmet may be prohibited in
certain jurisdictions. If this is the
case, you should tuck away the
long corded speaker underneath
the helmet padding as follows:
Lead the speaker [B] alongside the
rim of the padding to the right
side and then back to the left
side, near speaker [A]. Then place the
speaker [B] underneath the padding.
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE
HEADSET FROM THE HELMET CLAMP
ATTACHING:
Slide the headset downwards along
the sliding panel until a clicking
sound indicates that the headset is
locked in place.
REMOVING:
Your headset can be removed for
charging and storage by pressing
your finger gently against the tab
and sliding the headset up with the
other hand.
We recommend that you remove the
headset from the helmet when not in use.
