Bike-to-Bike intercom communication differs from the Rider-Pillion Passenger kind for certain specific
characteristics:
The audio coming from an external source (connected via cable or Bluetooth) IS NOT shared with
the helmet connected in Bike-to-Bike Intercom mode.
The audio coming from the radio IS NOT shared with the helmet connected in Bike-to-Bike
Intercom mode.
In case the bike-to-bike intercom mode is on and there is no connection with the other Rider due to
out-of-range distances, the two helmets will be automatically reconnected as soon as the distance
is reduced within a range where communication is possible. The search for automatic reconnection
lasts 2 minutes, at the end of which reconnection must be carried out through the “Bike-to-Bike
Call”.

14. “UNIVERSAL INTERCOM”
The N-Com MULTI 3 system can be connected via Bluetooth to intercom systems of other brands, thanks
to the UNIVERSAL INTERCOM function.
14.1. Pairing up the UNIVERSAL INTERCOM
To pair up an N-Com system and an intercom of another brand (from now on called Intercom B), the
following procedure needs to be carried out:
Put the N-Com system in the “Pair up Mode” by pressing the “on” key for more than 4
seconds, until the LEDs start to flash quickly;
Put Intercom Bin the pair up mode of a mobile phone (please refer to the manual of your
specific Intercom B for additional information).
Briefly press the “on” key on the N-Com system; after a few seconds, the two systems will
“recognize” each other and an acoustic message will indicate that the pair up procedure was
successful.
To turn on the audio between the two helmets, press the “on” key on the N-Com system.
14.2. UNIVERSAL INTERCOM function
After properly carrying out the pair up procedure, turn on both systems.
To turn on and off the audio between two helmets, proceed as follows:
1. FROM THE N-COM SYSTEM: press “on” on the N-Com system. Intercom B receives an
incoming call tone to which you need to answer with the call answering button (please refer to
the manual for Intercom B). To turn off the intercom, briefly press the “on” key again.
2. FROM INTERCOM B: press the “Vocal Call” command. The N-Com system will receive an
incoming call tone. To turn off the intercom, press the “Vocal Call” command again
N.B.:
The N-Com systems keeps an active connection to a mobile phone or to a GPS even during
Bluetooth communication with other intercom systems.
It may be that the intercom system hooked up to the N-Com does not allow for simultaneous
connection to a mobile phone.

14.3. UNIVERSAL INTERCOM Bike-to-Bike
The Universal Intercom function allows remote communication between two motorcycles. In this case,
connect the other motorcycle as if it was the passenger’s helmet.
N.B.: The range of the Bike-to-Bike communication depends on the range of the two connected systems.
15. BATTERY
Before using the N-Com device for the first time, recharge the battery completely for at least 10 hours.
To obtain best performances from the battery, it is recommended to completely recharge the battery the
first few times. Afterwards, you can recharge the battery for shorter periods. Whenever possible, it is best
to recharge the battery completely.
15.1. Battery discharged signal
When turned on, the system signals when the battery is running down by switching to the “Reserve”
mode.
When the battery charging power falls below 1 hour of operation, the buttons “” and “” start to flash
in order to indicate that the system is in “Reserve” mode. Three consecutive beeps also signal the reserve
mode.
When the battery operates in “Reserve”, the system automatically turns itself off in case no button is
pressed for 30 minutes. The shutting off is signaled by a series of beeps in the helmet. This function
makes it possible to always have a small reserve of energy to use it again in case you forget to turn off
your helmet.
15.2. Recharging the system
Fig. 10
1) Connect the battery charger to the mains.
2) Plug in the battery charger connector in the
corresponding connector on the helmet.
3) When the recharging is finished, disconnect the
connector and unplug the battery charger from the
mains.
N.B.: If the device has not been charged for a long time (a few months), it may not be possible to turn on
the system during the first few minutes of the charging, as the voltage may drop below the minimum
limit.
Caution: The rechargeable battery has to be replaced by Nolan or by an authorised centre only. Opening
of the product by unauthorized personnel shall result in complete forfeiture of the warranty.
