Mono cable pre-selection   This function can also be turned on through PC using the “N-Com Wizard” programme.   11. INTERCOM MODE BETWEEN TWO HELMETS  In order to use Bluetooth Kit3 in wireless intercom mode, both helmets have to be equipped with a Bluetooth kit.  There are two different intercom modes, depending on how the kit is used: Rider-Pillion Passenger or Bike-to-Bike.   In order for two Bluetooth Kits to communicate with one another, they have to be paired up first.  11.1. Intercom affiliation  1. Make sure both Bluetooth Kits are turned off; 2. Set both Bluetooth Kits in Pairing up mode by pressing “on” (for more than 4 seconds), until the LEDS start to flash quickly; 3. 3a. Rider-Pillion Passenger pair up: On one of the two helmets, briefly press “on”;
   21 3b. Bike-to-Bike pair up: On one of the two helmets, press “on” for at least 2 seconds; 4. After a few seconds, the helmets “recognize” each another, a beep is emitted to signal the pair up was successful and intercom communication is activated; 5. Turn off both Bluetooth Kits and turn them back on to store the pair up data.  11.2. Intercom function After carrying out the proper pair up procedure, turn on the two helmets. Intercom connection will be established automatically (this will take a few seconds. Wait until you hear the acoustic signal confirming the operation). If automatic connection is not possible, proceed with the manual connection.  Manual intercom activation  With Bluetooth Kit3 turned on, briefly press “on”. Manual intercom deactivation   With Bluetooth Kit3 turned on, briefly press “on”. Intercom swap: From “Rider-Pillion Passenger” to “Bike-to-Bike” Briefly press “on” and “” at the same time.  11.3. Bike-to-Bike intercom N-Com Bluetooth Kit3 allows bike-to-bike communication between two Bluetooth Kit3 systems up to a distance of approximately 500 m (in open terrain, with no obstacles).  Note: Bluetooth kit system versions prior to version 3 do not allow this function except at significantly shorter distances.  Note: The communication range and quality may vary considerably depending on the presence of obstacles, weather conditions, magnetic fields.  Bike-to-Bike intercom communication differs from the Rider-Pillion Passenger kind for certain specific characteristics:
   22 • The audio coming from an external source (connected via cable or Bluetooth) IS NOT shared with the helmet connected in Bike-to-Bike Intercom mode. • The audio coming from the radio IS NOT shared with the helmet connected in Bike-to-Bike Intercom mode. • In case the bike-to-bike intercom mode is on and there is no connection with the other Rider due to out-of-range distances, the two helmets will be automatically reconnected as soon as the distance is reduced within a range where communication is possible.   12. INTERCOM VIA CABLE   In order to use N-Com Bluetooth Kit3 as intercom via cable, you need to use an Intercom Wire (sold separately) to connect the two helmets. • Install the Basic Kit2 + Bluetooth Kit3 in the Rider's helmet. • Fit the Pillion Passenger’s helmet with Basic Kit2 (positioning the basic electronic card in its housing). • Connect the Rider’s helmet to the Pillion Passenger’s helmet using the Intercom Wire (sold separately) in the following manner:  - connector A (smaller, L-shaped) in the Rider’s helmet (equipped with Bluetooth kit3) - connector B (larger one) in the Pillion Passenger's helmet.
   23 13. BATTERY Before using the N-Com device for the first time, recharge the battery completely for at least 10 hours. To obtain best performances from the battery, it is recommended to completely recharge the battery the first few times. Afterwards, you can recharge the battery for shorter periods. Whenever possible, it is best to recharge the battery completely.   1) Connect the battery charger to the mains.  2) Plug in the battery charger connector in the corresponding connector on the helmet.  3) When the recharging is finished, disconnect the connector and unplug the battery charger from the mains.  13.1. Battery discharged signal When turned on, the system signals when the battery is running down by switching to the “Reserve” mode. When the battery charging power falls below 1 hour of operation, the buttons “” and “” start to flash in order to indicate that the system is in “Reserve” mode. Three consecutive beeps also signal the reserve mode. When the battery operates in “Reserve”, the system automatically turns itself off in case no button is pressed for 30 minutes. The shutting off is signaled by a series of beeps in the helmet. This function makes it possible to always have a small reserve of energy to use it again in case you forget to turn off your helmet.

The internal helmet components are not and cannot be waterproof. Consequently, any improper exposure to rain, humidity, food spillages or other liquids can result in damages to the N-Com electronic devices, damages for which Nolan shall not be responsible.
   28 This warranty does not include those parts subject to wear and tear such as, for example, the rechargeable battery and the cables used for connection between the various N-Com systems or between the N-Com systems and other devices. Since Nolan® does not supply the system on which the cell phones work, it shall not be responsible for the operation, availability, coverage, services or range pertaining to the aforementioned system. Whenever the product is used in conjunction with accessories or equipment not supplied by Nolan®, Nolan® shall not guarantee proper operation of the product/device combination, nor will it accept requests for repairs or replacements under warranty in case the product is used in such a way. Nolan® shall not be responsible in case the product presents limited capabilities due to the operating mode of cell phones or of other accessories or equipment not supplied by Nolan®. Tampering with the internal electronic card or with other parts of the N-Com system shall invalidate the warranty. Moreover, the defects covered by this warranty do not include all those specific and subjective situations that may come up during the active use of the helmet such as, for example, comfort problems while riding or aerodynamic noises. Nolan® shall not be held responsible in any case for incidental or consequential damages (including, without any limitation whatsoever, damages to one or more persons) resulting from non-fulfillment of the obligations arising from this warranty as it pertains to Nolan® products.  15.3.

   29 AFTER 2 (TWO) YEARS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE, THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS VOID FOR ALL EFFECTS AND PURPOSES. Repairs or maintenance under warranty do not extend the period of the warranty itself. Therefore, in case the product or one of its components is replaced, this does not initiate a new warranty period, as the purchase date of the original product shall be taken into account for warranty purposes. Only for repairs or replacement of electronic components, in the event that Nolan® proceeds to repairing or replacing the product, said product shall enjoy a warranty period equal to the residual portion of the original warranty or ninety (90) days from the repair date (the longer period being considered).
