Symbols and Illustrations
The illustrations in this manual show the typical layout. The actual design and button position may
differ slightly depending on your vehicle and system configuration.
Warnings
WARNING
● This symbol represents a warning against any actions which may cause injury to people if the
warning is ignored.
● You are informed about what you must or must not do in order to reduce the risk of injury to yourself
and/or others.

Safety
Figure 1. Acceptance screen, 6.5 Models
Figure 2. Acceptance screen, 4.3 Models
Note: Randee to check with the Liability team, whether the 4.3 screen should be included, in addition to the 6.5
To use the Boom!TM Box infotainment system in the safest possible way follow all the warnings,
cautions and safety tips shown throughout this manual.
Do not use any feature of this system to the extent it becomes a distraction and prevents safe riding.
The first priority while riding should always be the safe operation of the vehicle. While riding, be sure
to observe all traffic regulations.
Practice using the system and become thoroughly familiar with it. Read the entire manual to make sure
you understand the functions. Do not allow other people to use this system until they have read and
understood the instructions in this manual.
While riding, you are solely responsible for the safe operation of your motorcycle.
For your safety, some functions will become inoperable when the motorcycle in motion.
WARNING
● For safety, the motorcycle rider should not program the navigation system while in motion. Lack of
attention to the road and traffic may cause an accident.
● While riding, be sure to obey the traffic regulations and maintain awareness of the road conditions.
8
If a traffic sign on the road has been changed, navigation route guidance may not have the updated
information.
While riding, listen to the voice instructions as much as possible. Glance at the screen briefly and only
when it is safe to do so.
Do not rely solely on voice guidance. Use it just for reference.
The data in the system may occasionally be incomplete. Road conditions, including restrictions (no left
turns, street closures, etc.) frequently change. Therefore, before following any instruction from the
system, look to see whether the instruction can be done safely and legally.
This system cannot warn about such things as the safety of an area, road conditions and availability of
emergency services.
Use this system only in locations where it is legal to do so.

Speed Locked Controls
WARNING
● For your own safety the keyboard is disabled to enter a name or number (e.g., street name, phone
number, etc.), while the vehicle is in motion.
● Pull over at a safe location to enter data into the system.
Many features of this system are speed-dependent. The system will indicate when a certain feature is
not available while the vehicle is in motion, through a pop-up screen similar to the one shown on
Figure 3.

Introduction to Voice Recognition (VR)
The Voice Recognition system gives the rider the ability to initiate voice-operated commands. The VR
commands interact with the connected devices and the navigation system (if equipped). These sets of
voice commands are initiated by pressing the Voice command button on the left handlebar controls.
For complete instructions and syntax of the voice-operated commands, read the Voice Recognition
Operation section of this manual.
Note: Mention the Ignition switch, where applicable (i.e. Software Update, or Power moding), but don’t include a
section for the ignition switch, since this belongs in the vehicle manual section.

User Ports and connectors
USB port
Your Boom!TM Box has a USB port that allows you to connect a compatible phone, media player or a
USB flash drive.
Note: reference the list of compatible devices on the web site.
The USB port is located inside the media compartment, called Jukebox.
The Jukebox is located on the right side next to the Boom!TM Box system.

Using handlebar controls to select objects
While the vehicle is in motion it is recommended to avoid using the Touch Screen or the faceplate
buttons since this implies releasing one of the hands from the handlebar.
While riding a safer method is to utilize the keys on the right handlebar controls to perform selections.
Refer to the right handlebar control section of this manual for the keys location. The cursor movement
keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) can be used to highlight a different object in the screen. The Enter/Select
key can be used to select such object. Do this only when it is safe to do so.
The currently highlighted item will have a yellow box surrounding the object.

Voice Recognition Operation
The Voice Recognition system allows control over AM, FM radio, Sirius XM (if equipped), multimedia
player and navigation system (if equipped).
WARNING
● Any voice commanded system should be used only in safe driving conditions following local laws.
● All attention should be kept on the roadway ahead.
NOTE
Always speak into the headset microphone as calmly and normally as possible. Rapid speech or a
raised voice level will degrade voice recognition capability.
When the Voice Command button is pressed on the Left handlebar controls, a beep will sound. The
beep is a prompt to speak a command. The system will present a list of possible commands.
88
Pressing the Voice Command button while the system is speaking is known as “barging in”. The system
will be interrupted and you can add or change commands.
NOTE
4.3 Models use Voice Recognition for Phone functions, in US English language only.
6.5 Models use Voice Recognition for Phone and other functions in all the supported languages.
The voice commands are classified by functions, which are:
• Phone commands (4.3 and 6.5 models)
• Media commands (6.5 models only)
• Tuner commands (6.5 models only)
• Navigation commands (6.5 models only)
• Other commands (6.5 models only)
• Help commands (6.5 models only)
NOTE
Maybe will need to rephrase this, but want to capture the idea:
VR commands are global in nature, as opposed to mode specific. For example, the rider should not
have to say “XM” before saying “Channel Up”; the system could be in any Tuner or Media mode and
simply say “Channel Up”, and a switch to Sirius XM mode is implicit.
Phone commands (4.3 and 6.5 models)
These commands are useful for controlling Phones connected through Bluetooth®:
• CALL (followed by contact name) – Dials the contact’s phone number as entered on your phone
book.
• DIAL (followed by a phone number) – Dials the specified phone number.
• REDIAL – Dials again the last number dialed.
Media Commands (6.5 models only)
These commands are useful for controlling audio devices connected through Bluetooth® or USB.
In this mode you may say the following commands:
• PLAY (followed by artist, album or song) – to play music, according to selection.
89
• ARTIST (followed by artist) – to play songs from a specific artist.
• ALBUM (followed by album) – to play songs from a specific album.
• SONG (followed by song) – to play the commanded song.
• SEARCH FOR MUSIC (followed by song, or LIST ALL) – to search for a song or list all songs.

Navigation Operation (if equipped)
Your navigation system receives GPS signals from an array of positional satellites to display the
geographical position of your vehicle.
When you input a destination, the navigation system uses a map database to calculate a route.
The system’s database includes Point of Interest (POI) categories to allow you to easily select
destinations such as restaurants, hotels and other common destinations. If a destination is not in the
91
database, you can enter the street address or a major intersection close to it and the system will guide
you to reach such destination.
As you ride along your chosen route, you are guided with pictorial displays and voice prompts.
The system will provide both a visual map and audio instructions. The audio instructions will announce
the distance remaining and the direction to turn in approaching an intersection. These voice
instructions will help you keep your eyes on the road.
The system has several options for Navigation. Read the User settings Navigation section for more
information on these settings.
NOTE
After the Bike or the Boom!TM Box has just recently been powered on, the Navigation System needs
some time to initialize. To begin using the Navigation system, wait until the system has finished the
initialization process.
