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.
16 8. MOBILE PHONE FUNCTIONS Answering a phone call Briefly press any key when you hear the incoming call signal Hanging up/rejecting a phone call Press “on” and keep it pressed for about 2 seconds (until you hear the acoustic signal) Voice call (if equipped) Press “on” and keep it pressed for about 4 seconds (until you hear the acoustic signal) Redial last number Briefly press “+” and “-” at the same time Transferring a call from helmet to mobile phone To transfer an ongoing call from the helmet to the mobile phone, press both “+” and “-” at the same time and keep them pressed for 4 seconds 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.

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-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.

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 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. BX4 system turned 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.

Warranty coverage If any defect covered by this limited warranty certificate is discovered within 2 (two) years from the purchase date shown on the tax receipt, Nolan® shall repair or replace the defective product through its distribution network after having verified the defect. Nolan® shall supply all the material and labor that is reasonably required to remedy the defect, except in those cases where the damage is caused by one of the items listed in the following paragraph “Exclusions and limitations of the Coverage”. 17.2. Exclusions and limitations of the coverage This warranty only covers defects in materials and manufacturing.

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.  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.
24 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-fulfilment of the obligations arising from this warranty as it pertains to Nolan® products. 17.3.

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).
