other riders or a mobile phone call, you will hear a low tone double beep signifying an intercom busy signal. In this case,
you have to try again later.

BATTERY I N FORMATI ON
The EXPAND has an internal, non-removable external, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to remove the battery from
the device as you may damage the device. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will
eventually wear out. Recharge the battery only with Sena approved chargers designated for this device. Use of an
unapproved charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
Always try to keep the battery between 15℃ and 25℃ (59℉ and 77℉). Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily. Battery performance is particularly
limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Never use any charger
that is damaged. Operating times are estimates only and depend on the devices used together, features used, battery
age and condition, temperatures to which battery is exposed, and many other factors.
MAI N TEN ANCE AND CARE
The SHM10R should be treated with care and the following suggestions will help you protect your warranty coverage.
1. Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.
2. Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries,
and wrap or melt certain plastics.
3. Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside
the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
4. Do not attempt to open the EXPAND
5. Do not drop or knock the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and fine mechanics.
6. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.
7. Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
These suggestions apply equally to the headset main unit, speaker-microphone clamp unit, or power charger.
DI SPOSAL
