About Pairing
Why Do A Pairing?
The BikeComm headset is based on Bluetooth Protocol for wireless
connections and communication. Bluetooth Protocol requires any two
Bluetooth devices to be “paired”before any communication can takes place
between them. Once paired, turning on and off any Bluetooth device will
not affect the pairing. In other words, after the pairing is correctly executed,
a Bluetooth device will automatically reconnect to the originally paired
device when it is powered on.
What Devices Need Pairing?
To use the BikeComm headset with a cell phone, GPS, MP3, another
BikeComm headset, or other Bluetooth devices, a pairing process must
be executed for the BikeComm headset and each device respectively.
How to Pair:
Pairing with Cell Phone:
(1) When the BikeComm headset is in OFF state, press the [MFB] on the
BikeComm headset for about 8 seconds until the LED flashes
red/blue alternating.
(2) Activate the Bluetooth function on cell phone to search for the
OpenRoad headset to connect.
(3) Input password <0000> to complete connection. The LED flashes blue
slowly to indicate successful pairing.
(4) At this point, you can set the headset answering mode of the cell
phone as (a) voice answer, or (b) automatic answer.

7
(a) Voice Answer: Press [V+] for about 7 seconds until the LED turns
green.
(b) Automatic answer: Press [V-] for about 7 seconds until the LED
turns green.
Pairing with GPS:
**The GPS must support simultaneous connections to Headset and
cell phone. (Ex. Garmin Zumo 550, 660 Model, for any specific GPS
model, please consult your GPS user’s manual for details.)
(1). On GPS, search for cell phone and connect to cell phone.
(2). With the BikeComm headset in OFF state, press the [MFB] on the
OpenRoad headset for about 6 seconds until the LED flashes
red/blue alternating.
(3). Activate GPS Bluetooth and search for the OpenRoad headset.
(4). Input password <0000> to complete connection. The LED flashes
blue slowly to indicate successful pairing.
** For those GPS models not supporting simultaneous connections
to headset and cell phone (consult your GPS user’s manual for
details), you can only choose to connect your OpenRoad headset to
either cell phone or GPS, but not both.
(1). With the BikeComm headset in OFF state, press the [MFB] on the
OpenRoad headset for about 6 seconds until the LED flashes red/blue
alternating.
(2). Activate GPS Bluetooth and search for the headset.
(3). Input password <0000> to complete connection. The LED flashes

Pairing with Another BikeComm Headset:
The BikeComm headset can also be paired with up-to 3 other OpenRoad
headsets for intercom.
(1). To pair two BikeComm headsets (e.g., A and B), the following operations
must be performed on both A and B, respectively.
(2). With the headset in OFF state, press the [MFB] on the headsets (A, B)
simultaneously for about 6 seconds until the LED flashes red/blue
alternating to enter the “pairing”state.
(3). For pairing between A headset and B headset, you can choose [MFB],
on A headset to pair with B headset. Likewise, you could also choose
[MFB] on B headset to pair with A headset. The button you choose to set
the pairing is also the button that you later to use to activate the intercom
with that headset.
Choose [MFB] for pairing: Press [MFB] on A headset so that the LED
on A headset will flash faster until the LED lights on both A head and
B headset display blue to indicate successful pairing. (At this point,
you have successfully paired the [MFB] on A head to B headset.)

4. Use Your BikeComm Headset
Volume Control
Note:
It is advisable that you should complete the volume control settings prior
to your ride. In case you should need to adjust volume during the ride, extreme
caution must be taken to ensure safety.
The [V+] and [V-] buttons on BikeComm headset are for volume control.
When the volume is adjusted to the highest or lowest level, you will hear a
<beep> sound to remind you.
To adjust the volume of any function of any device connected to the
OpenRoad headset, the function of that device must be turned on. For
example, to adjust the “talk”volume of the cell phone, the cell phone must be
in ”talk”mode. Similarly, to adjust the “music”volume on the cell phone, the
cell phone must be in “music”playing mode. Each volume must be individually
controlled. The adjustment of one volume will not affect the volume of another
function.
**NOTE: when adjusting music volume on cell phone, excessively fast
press to the cell phone may switch the cell phone into the AVRCP function.
(1) Automatic volume increase function:
The automatic volume increase capability of the BikeComm headset
will automatically increase the volume of the headset when the
environmental noise level is high, and automatically reduce to original
volume setting when the environmental noise level is lower.
(2) Voice Control Feature:
The BikeComm headset provides voice control to both answering cell
phone and activating intercom with another headset. The voice
activation (VOX) level can be adjusted according to your travel speed

10
and the environment noise level so that the microphone will not turn on
unexpectedly because of the noise of high wind speed.
Use Your Cell Phone
When you have an incoming call, you could use one of the following options to
answer or reject the incoming call:
(1). Press [MFB] to answer the incoming call.
(2). Use VOX to answer the incoming call, by speaking into microphone
directly, for example, “hello.”
**NOTE: The Voice Answer for cell phone and the Voice Activation (VOX)
for intercom with another headset are independent of each other. The
setting of Voice Answer to answer incoming call is different from the
setting of VOX. (Please refer to: BikeComm Headset Voice Activation
(VOX)).
(3). Use automatic answering, by setting the automatic answering function,
the phone will be automatically answer after 5 second of ringing.
(4). Reject the incoming call, by press [MFB] for about 3 seconds.
(5). Voice Dial: press [MFB] once and speak into microphone (the cell phone
MUST provide voice dial function).
(6). If your cell phone supports AVRCP function (consult your cell phone
user’s manual), you can play music directly:
(a). Play/Pause: Press [MFB] twice.
(b). Previous: Press [V-] twice.

11
(c). Next: Press [V+] twice.
Intercom with Another Headset: (VOX vs. Manual Activation)
Voice Activation (VOX) Mode
You can use voice activation (VOX) to activate your BikeComm headset for an
intercom with another headset. However, the first intercom between two
headsets after the successful pairing can only be activated manually. During
the intercom, any silence of more than 10 seconds will automatically end the
intercom connection. To initiate the intercom again, you can speak into the
microphone directly (VOX), and then you will hear <do><dodo> sound to
indicate the successful intercom connection.
The memory in the BikeComm headset automatically remembers the last
headset the BikeComm headset had initiated the intercom connection with.
Hence, the next VOX will automatically establish intercom connection with the
last remembered headset.
** NOTE: The Voice Answer for cell phone and the Voice Activation (VOX)
for intercom with another headset are independent of each other. The setting
of Voice Answer to answer incoming call is different from the setting of VOX.
(Please refer to: Voice Answer for cell phone).
Scenario 1: After manually activating A headset to intercom with B headset,
the next time A headset is voice-activated, A headset will automatically
connect to B headset.
Scenario 2: After manually activating A headset to B headset, if you want to
intercom with C headset, you MUST manually activate A headset for intercom
connection with C headset. Also, the next time, you voice activate A headset
for intercom connection, A head will be connected to C headset, instead of B
headset.
Scenario 3: After manually activating A headset to B headset, you receive
an intercom connection from C headset. The next time, you voice activate A

12
headset for intercom connection, A head will be connected to B headset,
instead of C headset.
VOX Level: The BikeComm headset provides four volume levels for setting
the voice volume required to activate the intercom connection. You can
adjust the required voice volume according to your needs. Level 1 means
that the VOX has a lower activation threshold, i.e., you can use a lower
voice volume to activate the headset intercom connection. The higher the
level is, the higher the voice volume is required to activate the intercom
connection. The indicated speed is only for reference, and the application
depends on the actual environmental noise level and the wind speed.
VOX Level Control: When the BikeComm headset is ON (but without any
voice signals transmitted), press [V+] or [V-] twice to raise or lower the
voice level. Different voice signals will be provided to indicate the
transition from a level to a different level. The following gives the details:
Level 1(default):
Description: a short <do> sound can be heard when moving from Level 1 to
Level 2
Note: if your intercom will activates unexpected by the wind, you should adjust
to a higher level.
Level 2:
Description: a short <do> sound can be heard when moving from Level 2 to
Level 3,and a long <doobeep> can be heard when moving from Level 2
to Level 1.
Level 3:
Description: a short <do> followed by two long <doodoo> sound (i.e.,
<do><doodoo>) can be heard when moving from Level 3 to Level 4,and
a long <doo> can be heard when moving from Level 3 to Level 2.
Level 4:
Description: music can be heard when moving from Level 4 to Level 5,and a
long <doo> can be heard when moving from Level 4 to Level 3.
Level 5: (Manual activation mode)

13
Description: At Level 5, it means you are in Manual activation Mode. A
long <doo> followed by two long <doodoo> sound (i.e.,
<doo><doodoo>) can be heard when moving from Level 5 to Level 4
to indicate that you have moved from manual activation mode back to
VOX mode.
Manual Activation Mode
Manual Activation Mode: Press [V+] twice to adjust the BikeComm Headset
to Level 5.
(1). If you need to stay in intercom connection for a long period of time, it
is suggested that you set both your headset and your target headset to
Level 5 (i.e., Manual Activation Mode). In manual activation mode, the
function to automatically end an intercom connection when detecting
10-second silence will be disabled. In manual activation mode, you must
manually terminate an intercom connection.
** Manual Activation of Intercom: Press [MFB], [V+] or [V-] button
(whichever headset you pair with), until you hear a <do> sound.
Release the button and you will hear a <dodo> sound to indicate the
successful intercom connection.
