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.
   14 The type of command given to the system depends on how long the pushbutton is pressed.  System ON  Press “on” and keep it pressed for about 2 seconds, until the LEDs turn on and you hear a beep in the headset. System OFF   Press “on” and keep it pressed for about 5 seconds, until the LEDs turn off and you hear a beep in the headset. Increase Volume  Briefly press “+” to increase the volume. A double tone signals the highest volume level. Decrease Volume  Briefly press “-” to decrease the volume. A double tone signals the lowest volume level.  5.1. System menu BX4  features  a  menu  with  3  functions:  BASE,  RADIO,  BIKE  TO  BIKE  (activated  upon request). To scroll the card functions menu, press “on” for 2 seconds (with system turned on).  A special acoustic beep signals the change from one function to another. When BX4 is turned on, the menu is always in the “BASE” mode. Depending on the menu position, you can manage the various audio devices and the available functions:  Menu  Functions Base  Management of an external source connected via cable  Use of Mobile phone/GPS with Bluetooth connection  Use of the intercom “Rider–Pillion Passenger”  Listening to and management of Bluetooth A2DP player Radio  Listening to and management of FM Radio  Use of Mobile phone/GPS with Bluetooth connection  Use of the intercom “Rider–Pillion Passenger” Bike to Bike   Use of the intercom “Bike to Bike”  Functions  concerning  Bluetooth  mobile  phone  management  are  available  in  all  menu positions. 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
 Bx4  15  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.
   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.

Note: The Bluetooth intercom does not work while listening to an A2DP audio source.   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.
   18 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. Bike-to-Bike pair up 1. Make sure both N-Com B4 systems are turned off; 2. Set both N-Com B4 systems in Pairing up mode by pressing “on” (for more than 4 seconds), until the LEDS start to flash quickly; 3. On Helmet 1 press the “memory” button where you wish to store Helmet 2;  Position  Button  Confirmation beep A  + 2 sec.  2 acute beeps
 Bx4  19 B  - 2 sec.  2 grave beeps C  + 4 sec.  4 acute beeps D  - 4 sec.  4 grave beeps  N.B.:  If  the  selected  memory  setting  is  taken,  you  will hear  an  error  beep  after  which  a different combination must be entered.  4. 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.

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  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.
