1. WARNINGS AND SAFETY
Read this User Manual carefully, as well as the User Manuals for other N-Com kits that
you will be using with the N-Com Bluetooth kit X-Series. Read the simple rules listed
below. Failure to comply with these rules may lead to dangerous situations.
Caution: The product cannot be used in official or non-official competitions,
motordromes, circuits, racing tracks and the like.
Caution: Installation of the N-Com Bluetooth kit X-Series system results in a weight
increase of approximately 100g, which is added to the weight of the helmet and
of the other accessories.
Warning: The electronic components of the N-Com system mounted inside the
helmet are not waterproof. Consequently, make sure the inside of the helmet,
including the comfort padding, does not get wet in order to avoid damage to the
system. If it does, remove the N-Com system and the helmet comfort padding
and let it air dry. Disconnect the battery connector and let it dry as well.
1.1. Road safety
Always obey all Traffic Regulations in force. While riding the motorcycle, your hands
should always be engaged in actually riding the vehicle. Any operation to the N-Com
system must be carried out with the vehicle stopped. Specifically:
Set your cell phone on automatic answer (see the cell phone instructions to do
this).
If your cell phone is not equipped with this function, first stop your vehicle in a
safe area, in compliance with Traffic Regulations and then answer the call.
Do not make any calls while riding. Stop your vehicle in a safe place in
compliance with Traffic Regulations, and then make the call.
Adjust the volume so that it does not cause a disturbance or distraction while
riding and at the same time allows you to distinctively hear background noises.
Do not operate your cell phone or other devices connected to N-Com while riding
your motorcycle.
In all cases, obey the Traffic Regulations and remember that riding the
motorcycle has absolute priority over any other maneuver.

5
1.2. Switching on the system in safe environments
When using the N-Com system, comply with all limitations and instructions
related to the use of cell phones.
Do not turn on your cell phone or the N-Com system whenever their use is
forbidden or when the devices can cause interference or dangerous situations.
Turn off while refueling. Do not use the N-Com system in filling stations. Do not
use the device near combustible materials or chemical products.
Turn off in proximity to explosive materials.
1.3. Interferences
All phones and devices with wireless signal transmission are subject to interferences
that may affect the performance of the device connected to them. These interferences
are not ascribable to a defect of the N-Com system.
1.4. Appropriate use
Use the device only in the normal position, as described in the product
documentation. Do not attempt to disassemble, tamper with or modify any part of the
N-Com system.
Caution: Adjust the volume of the N-Com system (where provided) and of the audio
sources connected to it before you use the system on the road.
Caution: Adjusting the volume to very high levels may cause damage to your
hearing.
Caution: Adjust the volume of the N-Com system (where provided) and of the audio
sources connected to it so as to avoid audio reproduction at high volumes.
Constant exposure to high audio volumes may damage your hearing.
Caution: An incorrect installation of the system in the helmet may alter the
aerodynamic and safety characteristics of the helmet itself, thus creating
dangerous conditions. Install the N-Com system according to the instructions

6
provided in the product documentation. In case of doubt, please contact your
local N-Com dealer.
Warning: Listening to other equipment should not interfere with driving the vehicle,
which must be the top priority at all times. Carry out all operations on the
electronic equipment and on the N-Com system with the vehicle stopped, in
compliance with Traffic Regulations.
1.5. Qualified personnel
Only qualified personnel can carry out technical assistance on this product. In
case of any malfunction, always turn to your local dealer.
The helmet is a safety device. Tampering with it and/or with the electronic
system inside the helmet, in addition to invalidating the product warranty, can
also lead to dangerous situations.
1.6. Accessories and batteries
Only use the type of batteries, battery chargers and accessories approved by
Nolan for the specific model.
The use of a battery type different from the recommended one may lead to
dangerous situations and invalidate the warranty.
Contact your local dealer to see about the availability of approved accessories.
When disconnecting the power supply cable of any accessory or of the battery
charger, always grab and pull the plug not the cable.
Do not use batteries for purposes other than the prescribed ones.
Never use batteries or battery chargers that turn out to be damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
Keep the battery at a temperature between 0° / +45°C (charging); -20° /
+60 °C (in use).
Danger of fire or explosion: do not throw the batteries into a fire nor expose
them to high temperatures!
Do not throw out batteries together with household refuse. The batteries should
be disposed of in compliance with local regulations
Do not wear the helmet while the battery is recharging.
