1. WARNINGS AND SAFETY
Read this User Manual carefully, as well as the User Manuals for other N-Com kits that you
will be using with the N-Com BX4 . Read the simple rules listed below. Failure to comply
with these rules may lead to dangerous situations.
Caution: The product cannot be used in official or non-official competitions, motordromes,
circuits, racing tracks and the like.
Caution: Installation of the N-Com BX4 system results in a weight increase of
approximately 110g, which is added to the weight of the helmet and of the other
accessories.
Warning: The electronic components of the N-Com system mounted inside the helmet are
not waterproof. Consequently, make sure the inside of the helmet, including the
comfort padding, does not get wet in order to avoid damage to the system. If it does,
remove the N-Com system and the helmet comfort padding and let it air dry. Remove
the battery from its housing and let it dry.
1.1.
Road safety

always be engaged in actually riding the vehicle. Any operation to the N-Com system must
be carried out with the vehicle stopped. Specifically:

Set your cell phone on automatic answer (see the cell phone instructions to do this).

If your cell phone is not equipped with this function, first stop your vehicle in a safe
area, in compliance with Traffic Regulations and then answer the call.

Do not make any calls while riding. Stop your vehicle in a safe place in compliance
with Traffic Regulations, and then make the call.

Adjust the volume so that it does not cause a disturbance or distraction while riding
and at the same time allows you to distinctively hear background noises.

Do not operate your cell phone or other devices connected to N-Com while riding
your motorcycle.

In all cases, obey the Traffic Regulations and remember that riding the motorcycle
has absolute priority over any other manoeuvre.

5. BASIC FUNCTIONS
All N-Com system functions are available through the operation of three pushbuttons: “+
”, “on” and “- ”. Every time the system is given a command, a special acoustic signal can
be heard, which varies depending on the function being requested. This way, all the
functions can be used while wearing the helmet.
13
The type of command given to the system depends on how long the pushbutton is pressed.

Note: The “Bike-to-Bike” menu must be specifically activated from the system (see
chapter 14) or by using the N-Com Wizard programme.
6. N-COM WIZARD
“N-Com Wizard” is the PC application that can be used to manage and
configure the BX4 system.
The programme can be downloaded from the Internet site www.n-com.it, in the
“Download” section. In order to use it, a helmet equipped with BX4 must be connected to
the PC, using the USB cable supplied with the system.
N-Com Wizard allows you to customize your BX4 , specifically:
 Setting the system audio levels
 Pre-set and manage your favourite radio stations
 Update the device firmware
 Turn on or off the Bike-to-Bike menu


Manage connections with other bikes
The programme includes an on-line guide that explains how it works (after installing it on
your PC, press F1 to display this guide).
7. PAIRING UP BLUETOOTH DEVICES
In order for the BX4 system to be connected to another Bluetooth device, the latter needs
to be first paired up with the N-Com system.
The pairing up procedure is the same for all Bluetooth devices: mobile phones, MP3
Bluetooth players, satellite navigators, etc.
1. Make sure the B4 is turned off;
2. Press “on” and keep it pressed (for more than 4 seconds), until the LEDs start to
flash quickly and you hear a sharp beep in the headset, indicating the “Pair-up
mode”;
3. On the Bluetooth device, turn on the search for Bluetooth devices (refer to the
instructions manual of your device for the proper pairing up procedure, as it
varies depending on the brand and model of the device);
4. After a few seconds, the mobile phone will display the name “N-Com Bt4 v.X.XX”,
followed by the manufacturer’s identification data;
5. Select the N-Com device. If a password is requested, enter 0000 (four zeros);
6. BX4 will confirm the pairing up by means of a tone in the headset, and the LEDs
will stop flashing;
7. Turn off and on both the mobile phone and the BX4 to store the pairing up data.
Note: The affiliation is stored in the helmet and in the cell phone and it is not lost when
the two devices are turned off. As a result it needs to be carried out only once.
Note: If a Bluetooth device (mobile phone or GPS) equipped with music player with
Bluetooth A2DP player has already been paired up, the pairing up DOES NOT have to
be repeated as the A2DP protocol has already been stored in the BX4 .
Once the Bluetooth device has been paired up, connection is automatic when the system is
turned on.
In case connection is not automatically initiated after a few seconds, you can connect from
the Bluetooth device or by pressing “on” for 4 seconds.
7.1.
Affiliation reset function
You can remove all affiliated devices from the system memory. This operation is not
reversible; right after resetting, you will have to repeat the affiliation procedure for the cell
phone (or for other compatible Bluetooth devices).
To erase all devices previously affiliated, proceed as follows:

Press “on” and keep it pressed (for more than 4 seconds), until the LEDs start to flash
quickly and you hear a sharp beep in the headset, indicating the “Pair-up mode”;

Press “+” and “-” at the same time for 4 seconds, and release them when you hear a
beep. The N-Com will emit a special acoustic signal to confirm and will then turn itself
off.
This function can also be turned on through PC using the “N-Com Wizard”
programme.

Conference call function
BX4 allows a conference call with Rider and Pillion Passenger.
When a call comes in on a mobile phone connected via Bluetooth to BX4 , the Rider-Pillion
Passenger intercom is temporarily turned off. However, if you wish to share the phone call
with the other helmet, simply turn on the intercom manually during the phone call (by
briefly pressing “on”).
Caution: this function is available only if the Pillion Passenger helmet is also equipped with
a N-Com system provided with the same function.
9. GPS SATELLITE NAVIGATOR FUNCTIONS
B4 is compatible with the most common satellite navigators for motorcycles.
By connecting the N-Com system to the GPS, all instructions will be transferred to the
helmet.
Every time the navigator communicates instructions, the intercom via Bluetooth with the
Pillion Passenger is cut off and automatically restored at the end of the communication.
Note: If the navigator is pre-set for connection to a Bluetooth mobile phone, you will be
able to receive the phone call audio directly in the helmet through the GPS. In this case,
you can answer the call directly from the navigator.
GPS Conference Call Function
The Conference function allows you to keep the “Rider-Pillion Passenger” intercom open
even while the satellite navigator is giving instructions, thus preventing the intercom mode
to be turned off every time the navigator gives instructions.
Caution: this function is available only if the Pillion Passenger helmet is also equipped with
a N-Com system provided with the same function.
At the end of the GPS communication, the intercom with the second helmet stays open and
the "Conference" setting is stored for future GPS communications.
10. STEREO FM RADIO
B4 is equipped with Stereo FM radio with RDS (Radio Data System) technology, which
automatically selects the strongest signal available for the FM radio you want to listen to,
regardless of your location.

12. AUDIO DEVICES WITH CABLE CONNECTION
N-Com BX4 permette il collegamento via cavo (venduto separatamente) a sorgenti audio
provviste dell’uscita 3,5mm generalmente utilizzata da questi dispositivi per gli auricolari.
Per ascoltare la sorgente audio collegare il cavo al casco utilizzando la presa micro-usb,
avviare la riproduzione audio sul dispositivo, quindi attivare la periferica audio con
l’apposito tasto.
Once it is turned on, cable connection stays active even in the subsequent menus.
Consequently, you can hear the device connected via cable even while listening to music
via A2DP or via RADIO.

13. RIDER-PASSENGER INTERCOM MODE
In order to use BX4 in wireless intercom mode, both helmets have to be equipped with a
Bluetooth kit.
In order for two Bluetooth Kits to communicate with one another, they have to be paired
up first.
13.1.
Intercom affiliation
1. Make sure both N-Com Bluetooth systems are turned off;
2. Set both N-Com Bluetooth systems in Pairing up mode by pressing “on” (for more than
4 seconds), until the LEDS start to flash quickly;
3. On either one of the two helmets, press “on” briefly;
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 N-Com Bluetooth systems and turn them back on to store the pair up
data.
13.2.
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 BX4 turned on, briefly press “on”.
Manual intercom
deactivation
With BX4 turned on, briefly press “on”.
14. BIKE-TO-BIKE INTERCOM
The N-Com BX4 system is used for bike-to-bike communication up to a distance of about
800 m (open terrain, no obstacles).
N.B.: The range and quality of the communication may very significantly depending on the
presence of obstacles, weather conditions, magnetic fields.
N.B.: La portata della comunicazione varia a seconda dei sistemi N-Com utilizzati.
The BX4 system stores up to 4 different BX4 systems, so that “calls” can be made to
these devices.
So that two BX4 systems can communicate with one another in the Bike-to-Bike mode,
they must be paired up first.
14.1.

After a few seconds, the helmets “recognize” one another: a confirmation beep is
given in Helmet 2 that indicates the memory setting where Helmet 1 is stored and
Intercom communication is established;
N.B.: if all the memory settings are free, Helmet 2 will store Helmet 1 in position A (see
diagram in Chapter 12.1). In case that setting is taken, the following one will be selected
according to the sequence listed in the table.
You can display the memory settings of your device (and check the names of
the paired up devices) using the “N-Com Wizard” programme for PC.
To make it easier to recognize the N-Com systems paired up in “Bike-to-Bike”
mode, you can rename them using the “N-Com Wizard”.
14.2.
Making a Bike-to-Bike call
To make a call to another bike that has been previously paired up, go to the Bike-to-Bike
menu and press the button assigned to the helmet to which you want to make the call.
The corresponding tone will be heard in your helmet, after which the call to the selected
helmet is made.
N.B.: In case the memory setting is empty, or the other helmet cannot be reached, an
error tone will sound in your helmet.
14.3.
Taking a Bike-to-Bike call
Four calling tones will sound in the helmet receiving the Bike-to-Bike call, and all open
audio functions will be temporarily cut off (including the Rider – Pillion Passenger intercom,
if any). The call can be answered by briefly pressing any key when you hear the ringtone
signal.
In case you take the call, communication is automatically established.
In case the call is not answered, the system returns to the situation prior to receiving the
call.
N.B.: you can cut off Bike-to-Bike communication from anywhere in the menu by briefly
pressing “on”.
Bike-to-Bike intercom communication differs from the Rider-Pillion Passenger kind for
certain specific characteristics:

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-toBike 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. La

15. 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.
15.1.
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 red LED begins to
flash (alternating with the blue LED) 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 signalled 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.
15.2.
Recharging the system
To recharge the BX4 system, connect the USB cable to a battery charger or to a powered
USB port. Charging occurs as follows:
BX4 system turned off
BX4 system turned on
When you connect the BX4 system to the battery
charger, the blue LED begins to flash.
When the battery is fully charged, the blue LED stops
flashing and stays on.
When you connect the BX4 system to the battery
charger, the red LED begins to flash.
When the battery is fully charged, the red LED turns off.
N.B.: If the device has not been charged for a long time (a few months), it may not be
possible to turn on the system during the first few minutes of the charging, as the
voltage may drop below the minimum limit.

17.2.
Exclusions and limitations of the coverage
This warranty only covers defects in materials and manufacturing. Nolan® shall not be
considered responsible for product defects that can be attributed, either partially or in full,
