Description of the audio kit
The audio system includes two ultra-at stereo speakers and
two interchangeable microphones, which are both supplied
with a bracket and wire connection.
Fixing the stereo speakers. The two stereo speakers have
a Velcro/adhesive strip that aids their xing to your helmet.
Beware to not completely cover your ear with the speakers,
you must always be able to listen to the trafc sound and
indication.
The microphone can be xed onto the helmet in two ways:
Boom Microphone. Place the section with the Velcro/adhe-
sive strip between the padding and the rigid cover of the hel-
met, so that the microphone is correctly positioned in front of
your mouth and that the white symbol is facing your mouth.
This type of microphone is suited for Open Faced and Flip
Front helmets.
Wire microphone. Using the Velcro/adhesive strip, place the
microphone inside the helmet in front of your mouth. This type
of microphone is more suited for Full Faced helmets. The mini
connector on the microphone allows you choose the micro-

phone that best suits the helmet you are using.
The audio kit must then be connected to the central jack of
the Midland BT1 Intercom unit using the “L” shaped connec-
tor. This connector is very exible and can be easily adapted
to most commercial helmets.
Description of the installation brackets
The Midland BT1 can be xed onto the helmet in two different
ways: By either using the plate with bi-adhesive strip, or the
clamp. These methods allow you to safely “x” the BT1 unit
onto your helmet and to remove it at any time in order to
recharge or store it.
Plate with bi-adhesive strip
The xing plate has a bi-adhesive strip on one of its sides. To
x the plate in place, clean the application area on the helmet
surface, remove the bi-adhesive lm and place the xing pla-
te on the helmet by keeping it contact with the surface for a
few seconds.
Clamp
Using the Allen Key, loosen the two screws on the clamp and
place the rear plate between the helmet padding and the ex-
ternal rigid protection. Then, tighten the two screws in order
to rmly x the clamp in place.
Fitting and removing your Midland BT1
The BT1 can be easily tted onto the helmet by sliding it
downwards so that it ts into the slot of the selected xing
device (plate with bi-adhesive strip or clamp).
BT1 is maintained in position thanks to the xing clip located
on the upper section (A).
To detach the BT1, simply press the xing clip and push the
unit upwards.

Pairing with Bluetooth devices
Your Midland BT1 is a Bluetooth unit that can be paired with
other Bluetooth devices.
Before performing this procedure, it is necessary to set BT1
into “Pairing mode” (Setup).
The only operations permitted in the “Set up” mode are the
pairings and the reset.
Setup mode
Switch off the BT1 device. Press and hold down the central
button (Intercom/on) for about 7 sec. until the red indicator
switches on permanently. BT1 is now in “Setup” mode and
can therefore be paired with other devices.
Pairing the unit with the pillion’s device
The two units supplied in the kit, are already paired and
ready for use, which means that it is not necessary to
perform this procedure.
If the devices are not part of the same kit, you need to pair
them in order to be able to use the Intercom function.
Place both BT1 units in Setup mode (red indicator permanen-
tly on) Press the “Volume +” button on the rst unit until the
RED and BLUE lights begin to ash rapidly and alternately.
Then press the “Volume –“button on the second unit until the
RED and BLUE lights begin to ash rapidly and alternately.
Now both BT1 units are trying to pair to each other.
When successfully paired, each device will light the BLUE
light for 1 sec and go back to setting mode (red light always
on) waiting for additional pairing or setting procedures.
Pairing the unit with a mobile phone - only
for the driver’s device
1. Enable the Bluetooth device search feature on your mobile
phone. As this procedure varies according to the brand and
model of the mobile phone, refer to the manual supplied to
your particular phone for further information.
2. Set the BT1 unit in “Setup” mode, then press the “Phone”
button on the unit until the red and blue indicators start
ashing.
3. After a few seconds the mobile phone will display “Mid-
land BT1”. Select it and follow the instructions provided
in your mobile phone manual to accept the pairing. When
prompted, enter the pairing code, which is 0000 (four zero-
es). Your mobile phone should then display a conrmation
message if the pairing operation has been successfully
completed.
4 The BT1 will automatically exit the set up mode (red indica-
tor on) and go to the working mode (blue light ashing).
If you pair the BT1 unit with a mobile phone, you will not be
able to pair it with a GPS Sat-Nav, because both these devi-
ces are assigned (high) priority 1.
This problem can be easily solved by pairing your mobile
phone directly with your GPS Sat-Nav and then pairing the
GPS with your Midland BT1 using the above procedure. In
this case, the mobile phone features will be managed by the
GPS Sat-Nav.
Pairing the unit with a GPS Sat-Nav - only for
the driver’s unit
It is generally possible to pair the BT1 unit with all GPS Sat-
Navs that support Bluetooth earpieces.
Midland BT1 has been successfully tested for use with GPS
ZUMO Sat-Navs manufactured by Garmin and TOMTOM Ri-
der 1 and 2 Sat-Navs.
1. On your GPS Sat-Nav, enable the Bluetooth earphone
search feature. As this procedure varies according to the
brand and model of GPS, we recommend you refer to the
manual supplied with your GPS Sat-Nav for further infor-
mation.
2. Ensure that the BT1 is in Setup mode (Red light on) &
Press the “Phone” button on the BT1 unit until the red and
blue indicators start to ash.
3. After a few seconds the GPS Sat-Nav will display “Midland
BT1”. Select it and follow the instructions provided in the
GPS Sat-Nav manual to accept the pairing. When prom-
pted, enter the pairing code, which is 0000 (four zeroes).
The GPS should then display a conrmation message if
the pairing operation has been successfully completed.
4. The BT1 will automatically exit the set up mode (red indica-
tor on) and go to the working mode (blue light ashing).
If you pair the BT1 unit with a GPS Sat-Nav, you will not be
able to pair it with a mobile phone, because both these devi-
ces are assigned (high) priority 1.
This problem can be easily solved by pairing the mobile pho-
ne directly with the GPS Sat-Nav and by then pairing your
GPS with the Midland BT1. In this case, the mobile phone
features will be managed by the GPS Sat-Nav.

Resetting all paired devices
Sometimes you may nd it necessary to delete all the pairing
references stored in the BT1 unit (reset operation). Ensure
that the BT1 is in set up mode (red light on).
To perform this operation, simultaneously press and hold
down the “Volume +” and “Volume –“ buttons for 4 seconds.
The Blue Light will be lit on for 1 sec.
This procedure deletes all the paired Bluetooth devices sto-
red in the memory and it is therefore possible to start a new
“clean” pairing session.
Exiting from the Setup mode
After you have paired your BT with the desired Bluetooth de-
vice, with some of them (with the pillion’s device)you must
quit the Setup mode in order to be able to use your BT1.
Press and hold the Intercom button (centre button) for 3 se-
conds.
The red indicator switches off and the blue one starts to ash.
You can now use your BT1.
Reconnecting the unit to bluetooth devices
After successfully pairing your devices, you can switch them
off and on without having the repeat the pairing procedure.
If a connection failure occurs between the two devices (for
example because one device is switched off or you are not
within the maximum range), it is not necessary to repeat the
pairing procedure.
Simply switch the device on again or move within the maxi-
mum range. If the connection cannot be re-established auto-
matically, select the device from the “devices menu” of your
Bluetooth device (for example mobile phone, GPS, etc…)
and re-enable the connection.
Adjusting the volume
Your Midland BT1 uses AGC technology, which automatically
adjusts the listening volume in relation to background noise.
However, it is also possible to manually adjust the volume by
means of the “Volume+” and “Volume -“buttons.
For example, you can manually adjust the maximum volume
in very noisy environments (for example when travelling at
high speeds), to allow the AGC automatic system to change
the volume and use the manually set volume as maximum
setting. This operation is useful because each type and stan-
dard of helmet is inuenced in different ways by wind and
background noise.
Using the features of the bluetooth
devices
Using the intercom feature
To use the Intercom feature, be sure both units are turned on
and correctly paired together.
Priority: Intercom communications always have a hi-
gher priority, compared to other communications, with
the only exceptions being Telephone and GPS Sat-Nav.
Therefore, the Intercom feature automatically disables all
other communications.
The intercom feature is disabled when an incoming call or
voice communication is received from the GPS Sat-Nav, and
is automatically re-enabled as soon as these communica-
tions end.( except if the “Intercom always open with GPS”
function is on).
Attention: some mobile phone release the line after a few
seconds, which means that the Intercom feature may not
be immediately available.
The Intercom feature can be enabled in two ways:
Manual activation:
› Press “Intercom” button, on one of the two units. Commu-
nication is enabled and remains active until you press the
“Intercom” button again. You will hear 1 audio tone when
the Intercom feature is enabled and 2 audio tones when it
is disabled.
Voice activation (VOX):
› This is the default enabling mode. To start an Intercom
communication, simply start talking. The communication
will remain active for all the time you are talking. If there
is no conversation, the Intercom feature is automatically
disabled after 20 seconds. To re-enable it, simply start
talking again. When the Intercom is “VOX” activated, you
can decide to disable it before the predened time, simply
by pressing the Intercom button once.
› To disable the voice enabling mode, follow the instructions
provided in the “Special congurations” section.
Attention: when you use the Intercom feature, the rst
time you activate it (voice or manual) the communication

9
UK
will be established with a short delay because of the fact
that the devices must rst recognize each other. After
that the communication will be immediately established.
Two Midland BT1 units can communicate up to a maximum
range of approximately 10 meters outdoors.
Using the telephone feature
To use the Telephone feature, be sure the units are correctly
paired together, following the pairing procedure described in
section “Pairing the unit with a mobile phone”.
Attention: information provided in this section refers to
the establishment of a direct communication between
the mobile phone and the BT1 unit. If the mobile phone is
connected via the GPS Sat-Nav, the mobile phone featu-
res can only be managed via the GPS itself.
Priority: Calls have a high priority, which means that all
other communications are temporarily disabled when a
call arrives and automatically re-enabled once the call
ends.
Answering a call
When you hear the phone ring, you can answer in two diffe-
rent ways:
Vocally:
Simply say one word to answer the call and start talking. Re-
membering that you can only do this if you answer the call
after the third Ring. (Be aware that some phones may not
support voice answering)
Manually:
Tap the “Phone” button and start speaking.
Attention: Remember that you can answer the call only
after the third Ring.
Rejecting a call
If you don’t wish to answer, you can let the mobile phone ring
or press the “Telephone” button for a few seconds (you will
hear one audio conrmation tone).
Making a call
There are several ways to make a call.
From the mobile keypad:
Dial the number on the mobile keypad:
› Press “Send” on the mobile phone.
› This way of calling should never be carried out whilst in
charge of a moving vehicle.
To redial the last number:
› Press and hold “Telephone” button for 3 seconds in order
to redial the last number (you will hear one audio conrma-
tion tone).
To make a voice call:
› Briey press “Telephone” button. If your mobile phone sup-
ports voice calls, you will be asked to spell the name of the
contact you wish to call.
The correct operation of this feature depends on the type of
helmet used (Open or closed faced) and on the speed you
are travelling at. We suggest you perform a few tests to de-
termine the best settings for you as an individual.
Attention: if you are listening to music with the MP3 Pla-
yer of your mobile phone, you will not be able to use the
“Dial last number” and “Voice call” commands, because
these buttons are used to control the MP3 player. There-
fore, if you want to make a call, you must rst disable the
music by pressing the “Intercom” button for 1 second
(you will hear two audio conrmation tone) before ma-
king the call.
Ending a call
There are several ways to end a call:
› Wait for the called person to end the call.
› Press the Telephone” button for 3 seconds (you will hear
an audio conrmation tone).
› Press “End” button on the mobile phone. (This way of en-
ding a call should never be carried out whilst in charge of a
moving vehicle)
3-way telephone communications
The Intercom feature is temporarily disabled when a phone
call is in progress. However, it is possible to add other parties
to the conversation by simply enabling the 3-way communi-
cation feature. After the initial call has been established, brie-
y press the “Intercom” button on the driver’s device (you will
hear an audio conrmation tone). To re-establish a private
conversation, press the “Intercom” button again (you will hear
two audio conrmation tones).
Using the MP3 player feature of the mobile
phone
Many mobile phones are now designed to be used as stereo
MP3 players. The BT1 driver’s device fully supports the A2DP
and AVRCP protocols that enable you to listen to stereo mu-
sic and remotely control your mobile phone’s MP3 player.

10
You can even use the buttons on the BT1 unit to control the
following play options:
Play, Pause, Forward and Backward.
Attention: the Bluetooth mobile phone must support the
AVRCP protocol.
Available controls:
› To enable your connected MP3 Player, press and hold
down the “Intercom” button for 3 seconds.
› To play/pause music, double click the “Intercom” button.
› To skip forward to the next song, briey press the “Telepho-
ne” button.
› To skip backwards to the previous song, briey press the
“AUX” button.
› To disable the MP3 player, press and hold down the “Inter-
com” button for 3 seconds (2 beeps will conrm it).
To open the Intercom communication just talk or , for a ma-
nual activation, disable rst the MP3 player , pressing the “In-
tercom” button for 3 seconds and than press it again to open
the Intercom.
The music listening mode has the lowest priority. The-
refore, it will always be disabled when another type of
communication is enabled.
Using the features of your GPS sat-nav
To use the features of your GPS Sat-Nav, be sure both units
are turned on and correctly paired together, following the pai-
ring procedure described in the “Pairing the unit with a GPS
Sat-Nav” section.
Priority: communications with the GPS Sat-Nav have the hi-
ghest priority, which means that the enabling of these com-
munications causes the temporary disabling of all other com-
munications (Intercom, music or two way radiotransceiver).
Once the GPS communications have ended, all other com-
munications are automatically reenabled.
Listening to voice instructions from your GPS Sat-Nav
Trafc directions from your GPS Sat-Nav will always be im-
mediately transmitted by temporarily disabling all other acti-
ve communications. Once these voice directions have been
transmitted, your BT1 will automatically re-enable all existing
communications.
Listening to music from your GPS Sat-Nav
The most popular GPS devices usually enable you to listen
to music when no directions are being given. In this case, the
communication with the GPS is always active and has the
highest priority compared to all other active devices.
However, it is possible to enable the Intercom feature at any
time, while listening to music, simply by pressing the “Inter-
com” button to open a 3 way communication.
Using a mobile phone with a GPS Sat-Nav
If you have connected a GPS Sat-Nav to your Midland BT1,
you will not be able to connect the mobile phone directly to
the unit; you must instead, connect the phone to the GPS
Sat-Nav. By doing so, all the mobile phone features will be
managed directly by your GPS Sat-Nav. For information on
how to pair a mobile phone and answer/make calls, see the
manual supplied with your particular Sat-Nav.
3-way communications with your GPS Sat-Nav
The Intercom feature is temporarily disabled when commu-
nication with your GPS Sat-Nav is active (street indication or
music). The intercom mode was always interrupted when the
GPS talks (or when a phone call started) because of privacy
reasons. We have also the option to let the intercom remain
activated, even during navigator announcements.
To enable the “Intercom always open” function, on the unit
connected to the GPS:
- Keep pressed both Phone and AUX keys for about 3 se-
conds (the blue LED will be on for about 1 second and you
will hear one beep).
To disable this feature:
- Keep pressed both Phone and AUX keys again for about
3 seconds (you will hear two beeps)
Be sure no conversation is in progress.

11
UK
If you have activated the “Intercom always open” fun-
ction and a call comes in, the conversation will NOT be
private anymore and the Passenger will be part of the
phone call.
If the intercom function hasn’t been activated before the
GPS talk (or before a phone call), the passenger cannot
participate to the conversation. To enable the intercom
function, the passenger must wait until the conversation
ends.
Using the wired audio input
Your Midland BT1 is also tted with a wired audio input (labe-
led AUX), that can be used to connect a stereo audio source,
like an iPod (or any other MP3 Player) or a PMR446 transcei-
ver for bike-to-bike communications.
Priority: the wired audio input has the lowest priority
when compared to the other Bluetooth connections (in-
cluding the Intercom) and will therefore always be disa-
bled when another Bluetooth communication is opened.
Listening to music
To listen to music from the wired input, connect the audio
source using the cable supplied with the BT1 unit. The volu-
me level is automatically adjusted by the AGC system, which
means that you only need to adjust the volume of your iPod/
MP3 player to a level that will allow you to listen to music in
normal speed.
Attention: never set the volume of the MP3 Player to the
maximum possible.
Hint: We recommend that you perform a few tests adjusting
the volume of your iPod/MP3 player so at the normal speed
the Headset volume is suited to your needs.
The AGC system will automatically increase the volume on
higher speed. Make a note to remember this setting for future
trips.
Attention: the volume adjustment, (“Volume+” and “Vo-
lume –“) buttons, cannot be used to adjust the volume of
the wired audio source(eg MP3 player), only the volume
of the BT1 that the device is connected to.
Enabling/disabling the wire input
The wire input can be enabled and disabled by means of the
“AUX” button.
› Disabling: briey press the “AUX” button (you will hear two
audio conrmation tones).
› Enabling: briey press the “AUX” button (you will hear one
audio conrmation tone).
Using a Two Way Radio transceiver
To be able to use the transceiver, it is necessary to purchase
a specic cable (sold separately) in order to connect the radio
to your Midland BT1:
› NB, Some manufacturers radios use a different pin
conguration, so we recommend that you ask your de-
aler as to which cable is best suited to your needs
To communicate via the attached radio, press the transmis-
sion Press To Talk (PTT) button to speak and release it to
listen. It is not possible to talk and listen simultaneously. The
cable connected to the transceiver has a PTT button that can
be placed on the handlebar of your bike or held in your hand
(If you are the pillion rider).
Adjust the volume of the transceiver to your needs, remem-
bering that the volume adjustment is controlled by the auto-
matic AGC system and that it will therefore be automatically
increased in relation to background noise.
Special congurations
Some Midland BT1 features can be congured to suit the
specic needs of bikers.

Permanentlyenabling3-way communications
The music coming from the wired connection is interrupted by
default when the Intercom feature is enabled.
By enabling this feature, what is heard from the wired con-
nection is not interrupted but switched to the pillion’s device.
This feature can be useful, for example, if you wish to main-
tain Intercom communications and simultaneously talk using
a transceiver radio connected via Blue tooth or wired connec-
tion, or to hear phone calls and GPS indications.

12
In addition it also allows you to share the music between Rider
and Pillion. Considering that the music quality is “mono” for
the second person who will share the music (see the chapter
“Share the music between driver and passenger” below).
Enabling/disabling 3 way communications
Enter the Setup mode:
› Switch your BT1 off. Press and hold down the central but-
ton (Intercom/on) until the red light switches on permanen-
tly. Your BT1 is now set in Setup mode.
› Simultaneously press and hold down the “Telephone” and
“AUX” buttons for at least three seconds.
› If the feature was enabled, it will be disabled (steady blue
light for 2 seconds).
› If it was disabled, it will be enabled (blue light long
ashes).
› Quit the Setup mode by pressing the “Intercom” button for
a minimum of 3 seconds. The red light switches off and the
blue light starts ashing. You can now use the BT1.
Attention: only the audio/music coming from the device
connected by wire can be shared. The music heard via
Bluetooth will be interrupted.
If you have activated the “Intercom always open” fun-
ction and a call comes in, the conversation will NOT be
private anymore and the Passenger will be part of the
phone call.
If the intercom function hasn’t been activated before the
GPS talk (or before a phone call), the passenger cannot
participate to the conversation. To enable the intercom
function, the passenger must wait until the conversation
ends.
Enabling the intercom by voice (vox)
The Intercom feature can be enabled both manually and
vocally (VOX). The VOX activation is inuenced by the
background noise and therefore by the speed, type of bike
and soundproof features of your helmet.
For optimum results, it is possible to choose one of the fol-
lowing four microphone sensitivity levels: high, medium, low
and very low. The high settings suited for noiseless and pro-
tected bikes like scooters and fully faired/screened bikes. The
low setting is more suited for naked/noisy bikes. The default
setting of BT1 is “medium”.
It is also possible to disable the VOX feature in order to acti-
vate the Intercom and phone call answering features in ma-

Press and hold down the central button (Intercom) until the
red indicator switches on permanently. Your BT1 is now in
“Set up mode”.
2. Briey press the “AUX” button once, the red indicator will
turn to steady Blue
3. Now, press “Volume +” or “Volume -“to increase or redu-
ce sensitivity. Every time you press the Volume buttons
the RED light will ash for conrmation. When you reach
the end of the upper and lower limit, the RED light will not
ash.
4. Press again the AUX button and the Blue light will ash
several times, in order to let you know the selected sen-
sitivity: once = VOX disabled / Twice = very low sensitivity
/ 3 times= low sensitivity / 4 times= medium sensitivity / 5
times = high sensitivity / Default = medium sensitivity
5. The light indicator is now back to steady RED (“Set up
mode”) and the changes are conrmed
6. If needed, you can adjust again the sensitivity repeating
the steps from point 2.
7. Now quit the Setup mode by pressing and holding down
the “Intercom” button for at least 3 seconds. The red light
switches off and the blue light starts ashing. You can now
use the BT1.
Disabling the VOX feature (Intercom and telephone)
In addition to the 4 microphone sensitivity levels, there is a
fth state that allows you to turn off the VOX feature. Follow
the same procedure used to adjust the sensitivity of the mi-
crophone (see above) and on step 3 press the “Volume -” to
reduce the sensitivity till the RED light stop ashing. Press
now the “AUX” button and the Blue light will ash one time,
this means that the VOX feature is disabled. Follow now the
procedure above from the point 5.
To enable it again, perform the complete procedure above,
choosing one of the other four sensitivity levels available
(from 2 to 5).

Recommendations for specic uses
The section that follows, provides a few useful suggestions on
how to achieve maximum performance from your BT1 unit.
Using a PMR446 transceiver with the Intercom feature
(Rider to Pillion)
If you wish to use a PMR446 transceiver for group commu-
nications and simultaneously maintain the Intercom feature
enabled between the pilot and passenger, you must remem-
ber that the Intercom feature is enabled every time you speak
by means of the BT1’s VOX feature.
Consequently, radio communications will be disabled whilst
you are talking with your pillion, because they have a lower
priority compared to Intercom communications.
This can be prevented in two ways, which are:
Disabling the VOX feature
Disable the VOX feature, as explained in the previous sec-
tion, to make sure that the intercom will not automatically be
activated when you speak on the PMR446. To enable the In-
tercom feature when using this conguration, you will have
to press Intercom button manually. (This operation disables
radio communications that will be automatically re-enabled
when the Intercom feature is disabled).
Attention! If you disable the VOX feature, you will only
be able to answer incoming phone calls by pressing the
“Phone” button.
Permanently enabling 3-way communications
If you enable this feature (as explained in the previous sec-
tion), every time you talk the Intercom is enabled, but the two-
way radio transceiver communications are not disabled. This
means that you can share two-way radio communications
between Rider and Pillion.
Share the music between Rider and Pillion
If you wish to share the same music between the Rider and
the Pillion you must follow these simple steps:
› Connect the music player to the Rider or Pillion unit, via
wired connection trough the AUX plug
› Enable the “3 way communications feature” (see the chap-
ter above) on the unit which has the music player connec-
ted
› Activate the Intercom, now the music is shared.
Attention: Only those who are connected to music by
wire can listen to it in stereo mode.
Attention: It is not possible to share music if the source
is Bluetooth Stereo (A2DP)
