Overview
The MotoChello MC-100 is a fully integrated music and
communicaon system for your motorcycle. It provides the
same kind of premium audio you enjoy in your car along with
important features unique to riding. The communicaon and
music channels are separate and clear in all condions, a
dierence you will noce immediately.
Navigang through the operaonal controls is simple and
consistent. Your MotoChello system is operated by using the
touch screen display that has been adjusted to allow for gloved hands, or with the illuminated buon panel
to the le of the screen. The Rider and Passenger installed helmet headsets and microphones aach to the
MotoChello system with quick release cables.
Once your preferences have been determined, (or you may use the default sengs), you can make quick
adjustments to music volume or conversaon levels, change FM or Weather band radio channels, search
for local channels, change audio sources and mute speakers or microphones. (When the headsets are
muted for music, you can sll converse with the intercom system).
When you have adjusted the system to your preferences, you can save your sengs as your own “defaults”
and restore to them at any me. You can also restore to the factory defaults as well.
There are Aux ports to connect up to 3 devices simultaneously as well as a port for an FRS radio. Audio
cables to connect them are included with the MC-100 system. Once connected, you can quickly select your
aached music sources from the main screen.
Typical audio sources may include an XM radio, portable CD player, MP3 player, a Garmin® Zūmo® ®
500/600 series GPS unit, radar detector or other device that connects with an audio cable. If your Garmin®®
GPS is equipped, you may use your Blue Tooth phone through the system or listen to music stored on the
GPS unit as well. It’s your opon.
Voice acvated, direconal microphones with unique ltering let you have
conversaons with your passenger while talking simultaneously and
converse with other riders (they will hear your voice, not your music). You
can hear to your GPS instrucons while listening to music or talking on
your blue tooth phone, or hear your radar detector, if connected to the
MC-100 system.
You can customize the music volume while talking and have it lower as
much, or as lile, as you choose. You have separate volume controls for
incoming and outgoing communicaons of your 2-way radio.
With the MotoChello system, there are plenty of opons to make your audio and communicaons sound
and operate just the way you want it.
The MotoChello system
uses quick release cables
to attach your headsets
to the unit to give you
true high-fidelity stereo,
the preferred choice for
great sounding music
and communications.

Your System, Your Settings
You choose the music sources you want to listen to.
You control the level of sound, the balance and tone of
the headsets, and the sensivity of the microphones
while talking to your passenger or other riders.
You can quickly change volumes, turn the headsets on
or o, and mute one or both microphones, if desired,
and turn them back on at any me. If your passenger
likes a dierent volume than you, just adjust it to suit
both of you.
Your MotoChello audio system has unique ltering
system to reduce engine, wind and other sounds. When
you talk to someone, they will hear your voice, not your
music, engine or other distracng noises. You’ll be able
to communicate in a normal voice in most condions, even at highway speeds.
You can have mulple devices connected and ready to use at the same me. When you’re speaking to your
co-rider using the voice acvated microphone, the music will lower (as much or as lile as you have
dened, or you may use the default sengs) and return to your original seng when you’re nished
talking.
There are separate volume controls for both incoming messages and outgoing communicaons with a two-
way radio that can be dierent than the volume you set for listening to music. Intercom and two-way radio
communicaons are always available, even when the music has been muted (unless the microphones are
turned o).
Once installed, you can easily connect, or disconnect, devices you want to use. The available devices will
appear in the Now Playing box on the main screen so you can quickly see your system conguraon and
make adjustments as desired. A built in monitor will alert you to the status of your baery’s charging
system so there is one less accessory to have on your bike – always a bonus.
Once you have adjusted the system to your preferences, you can save them as your default sengs. With
so many choices, it’s tempng somemes to get carried away and forget where you were. If that happens,
you can simply restore to your previously saved personal default sengs or to the factory sengs, at any
me. Your sengs will remain in memory unl you replace them with new ones.
Congratulaons on your purchase of the MotoChello MC-100. Please take a few moments to familiarize
yourself with the convenient controls and you’ll soon be enjoying premium audio and communicaons like
you never thought possible on a motorcycle!
