Unit and fixing system description
BTX1 description
The BTX1 has five buttons on the front; the main three big button are multi fun-
ctions buttons: the Forward (on the left), the middle button and the Rear (on the
right), the two small rounded buttons are theVolume + andVolume -.
Description of the wired connections
On the bottom of the unit you can find three wired connection:
Charger jack: enables to recharge the unit using a standard miniUSB power
supply
Audio kit jack: enable to connect an audio kit (stereo headset and microphone)
Auxiliary audio jack (AUX) 2.5mm: can be used to connect an audio source, like
a stereo iPod/MP3 player or PMR446 transceiver
Description of the audio kit
The audio system includes two ultra-flat
stereo speakers and two interchangeable
microphones, which are both supplied with
a bracket and wired connection.
Fixing the stereo speakers
The two stereo speakers have a Velcro/adhesive strip that aids their fixing into
your helmet.
Beware not to completely cover your ear with the speakers, you must always be
able to listen to the traffic sound and your indicators.
The microphone can be fixed onto the helmet in two ways:
Boom Microphone
Place the section with the Velcro/adhesive strip between the padding and the
rigidcoverofthe helmet,sothat the microphoneis correctlypositioned in frontof
your mouth and that the white symbol is facing your mouth. This type of micro-
phone is suited for Open Faced and Flip Front helmets.
Wired 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 microphone that best
suits the helmet you are using.
Audio kit jack
The audio kit must then be connected to the central jack of the Midland BTX1 unit
using the“L”shaped connector.

Description of the installation brackets
The Midland BTX1 can be fixed 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“fix”the BTX1 unit onto your helmet and to remove it at any time in order
to recharge or store it.
Plate with bi-adhesive strip
The fixing plate has a bi-adhesive strip on one of
its sides. To fix the plate in place, clean the appli-
cation area on the helmet surface, remove the bi-
adhesive film and
place the fixing plate on the helmet by keeping it
contact with the surface for a few seconds.
Screw Clamp
Using the Allen Key, loosen the two screws on the clamp and place the rear plate
between the helmet padding and the external rigid protection. Then, tighten the
two screws in order to firmly fix the clamp in place. Inside the clamp is included a
small plastic spacer that can be removed to give a tighter fit if required.
Fitting and removing your Midland BTX1
The BTX1 can be easily fitted onto the helmet by sliding it downwards so that
it fits into the slot of the selected fixing device (plate with bi-adhesive strip or
clamp). BTX1 is maintained in position thanks to the fixing clip located on the
upper section (A).
To detach the BTX1, simply press the fixing clip and push the unit upwards.

Bluetooth connection:
›Shortly press to the“forward”button in“Phone”mode, a purple light will con-
firm the audio connection ON. Now it’s ready to transmitt and receive trough
the BTX1

“forward” button on the BTX1 in “Phone” Mode
Attention: the connection with the Bluetooth radio (G8E-BT) can be set in “Stand
by” mode simply by pushing the “forward” button on the BTX1 in “Phone” Mode.
How to use the wired audio input
Your Midland BTX1 is also supplied with a wired audio input (AUX), that can
be used to connect an audio source, like an iPod (or any other MP3 Player) or a
PMR446 transceiver for group communication or for a coverage increase.
8- Midland BTX1
Listening to music
To listen to music from the wired input, connect the audio source using the op-
tional AUX cable.
The volume buttons (Vol + andVol -) cannot be used to adjust the volume of the
wired audio source. The AGC system with automatically increase the volume on
higher speed.
Attention: never set the volume of the MP3 Player to the maximum possible. Nor-
mally the best level is about the 70% of the maximum.
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.
Enabling/disabling the wired input
If needed the wired input can be enabled or disabled:
Enabling/Disabling: Make a Long press on the “Rear” button (you will hear one
audio beep tone for enabling confirmation and two audio beep tone for disa-
bling).
Using a PMR446 transceiver with the cable connection
In order to connect the transceiver to your Midland BTX1, you need to purchase
the specific 2.5mm plug AUX cable, sold separately. S
ome manufacturers radios use a different pin configuration, so we recommend
that you ask your dealer as to which cable is best suited to your needs
The cable connected to the transceiver normally has also a PTT button that can
be placed on the handlebar of your bike or held in your hand (If you are the pas-
sanger rider).
To communicate via the attached radio, press the PTT button to speak and release
it to listen. It is not possible to talk and listen simultaneously.
Adjustthevolumeof thetransceivertoyourneeds,rememberingthatthe volume
adjustment is controlled by the automatic AGC system and that it will therefore
be automatically increased in relation to background noise.
If you wish to use a PMR446 transceiver for group communications and simulta-
neously maintain the Intercom feature enabled between two or more BTX1 devi-
ces, you must remember that every time you talk to communicate with the PMR
446 transceiver (pressing the PTT button), you will also activate the intercom of
theBTX1 to theunitconnected tothe“Middle”button(thankstotheVOXfeature).
To avoid the Intercom activation when you speak on the PMR446, you can decide
to pair the BTX1 unit on the“Rear”or“Forward”(where the VOX is not active) or
if you still want to use the“Middle”button, you must disable theVOX feature, as
explained in the previous section.
Attention! If you disable the VOX feature, you will only be able to answer incoming
phone calls by pressing the “Forward” button.

Foroptimum results,it is possible tochoose one of the followingfour microphone
sensitivity levels: high, medium, low and very low.The default setting of BTX1 is
“low”. It is also possible to disable the VOX feature in order to activate the Inter-
