a stereo iPod/MP3 player or PMR446 transceiver

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 wired connection.

the trasceiver using the“Volume +“ button:

›Turn o the unit

›Press and hold down the“Middle”button about 7 sec., until the Red light is on

permanently.

›Now press rmly (3 sec)the“Volume +”button, the Blue andRed light will ash.

›Follow now the pairing procedure explained on the manual of the transceiver

itself

Attention: If you are pairing to a G8BT transceiver, just when the BTX1 FM nish the

pairing (only the Blu LED is ashing) you must follow this procedure to activate the

Bluetooth connection:

›Shortly press to the“forward”button in“Phone”mode, a purple light will con-

rm the audio connection ON. Now it’s ready to transmitt and receive trough

the BTX1 FM

›Follow the same procedure every time you need to reconnect the G8BT to the

BTX1 FM (no need to make the pairing procedure again)

Attention: the PMR446 audio connection can be set on “Stand by” pushing the

“forward” button on the BTX1 FM 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 FM in “Phone” Mode.

How to use the wired audio input

Your Midland BTX1 FM 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.

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“Backward”button (you will hear

one audio beep tone for enabling conrmation and two audio beep tone for di-

sabling).

Using a PMR446 transceiver with the cable connection

In order to connect the transceiver to your Midland BTX1 FM, you need to purcha-

se the specic 2.5mm plug AUX cable, sold separately.

ome manufacturers radios use a dierent pin conguration, 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.

Adjust the volume of the transceiver to your needs, remembering that the 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 FM

devices, 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 the BTX1 FM to the unit connected to the“Middle”button (thanks to the VOX

feature).

To avoid the Intercom activation when you speak on the PMR446, you can decide

to pair the BTX1 FM unit on the “Backward” or “Forward” (where the VOX is not

active) or if you still want to use the“Middle”button, you must disable the VOX

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.

For optimum results, it is possible to choose one of the following four microphone

sensitivity levels: high, medium, low and very low. The default setting of BTX1

FM is “low”. It is also possible to disable the VOX feature in order to activate the
