4. POWERING ON/OFF AND CHARGING
To power on and off the headset, you don’t need to press and hold
any button for several seconds. Just short press the Jog Dial and
the Phone Button simultaneously, and you will get quick on-and-off
convenience.
4.1 Powering On
Press the Jog Dial and the Phone Button at the same time for about
1 second to power on. The blue LED turns on and you will hear
ascending beeps.
4.2 Powering Off
Just short press the Jog Dial and the Phone Button simultaneously,
you don’t need to press and hold for a few seconds. The red LED
turns on for a while until it turns off completely and you will hear
descending beeps.
4.3 Charging
The LED turns on red while charging, and turns to blue when the
headset is fully charged. It takes about 2.5 hours to be completely
charged.
4.4 Low Battery Warning
When the battery is low, the blinking blue LED in stand-by mode turns
to red and you will hear mid-tone triple beeps and a voice prompt
saying “Low battery”.

English
5. VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
You can easily adjust the volume by rotating the Jog Dial. You will
hear a beep when the volume reaches maximum or minimum level.
The volume is set and maintained independently at different levels
for each audio source even when you turn off and on the headset.
For example, once you set the volume for mobile phone handsfree,
it will not change even if you adjust the volume when you hear
Bluetooth MP3 music. So you can always maintain the preferred
optimum volume level for each audio source.
6. PAIRING THE SMH10 WITH BLUETOOTH DEVICES
Before using the SMH10 Bluetooth headset with any of Bluetooth
devices for the first time, you need to do the pairing operation. It can
be paired with Bluetooth mobile phones, Bluetooth stereo devices
such as MP3, or motorcycle specific Bluetooth GPS, and with other
Sena Bluetooth headsets. This pairing operation is only required
once for each Bluetooth device. The headset will remain paired with
the devices and automatically connects to the paired devices again
when they are within range. You will hear a high tone single beep
and a voice prompt when the headset connects to the paired device
automatically: “Phone connected” to a mobile phone, “Media
connected” to a Bluetooth stereo device.
6.1 Mobile Phone Pairing
1. Turn on the SMH10 and press the Phone Button for 5 seconds until
the LED flashes red and blue alternately and you hear multiple
beeps. You will hear a voice prompt saying “Phone pairing”.

3. Enter 0000 for the PIN. Some mobile phones may not ask for the
PIN.
4. The mobile phone confirms that pairing has completed and the
SMH10 is ready to use. You will hear a voice prompt from the
SMH10 saying “Your headset is paired”.
5. If the pairing process is not completed within three minutes, the
SMH10 will return to stand-by mode.
6.2 Multipoint Pairing
Typical Bluetooth headsets can connect with only one HFP (Hands-
Free Profile) device, but multipoint pairing allows the headset to
connect with two HFP devices at the same time. So, when you already
have a mobile phone connected with the SMH10, you can also pair
and connect a second mobile phone or other HFP devices such as
GPS or Sena SR10, Bluetooth adapter.
1. To pair the second mobile phone, press the Jog Dial for 5 seconds
again until the red LED is rapidly flashing and you hear multiple
beeps.
2. Within 2 seconds, tap the Phone Button again, then the LED turns
to blue flashing and the beeps turn to high tone double beeps. You
will hear a voice prompt saying “Multipoint pairing”.
3. Search for Bluetooth devices on your mobile phone. Select the
Sena SMH10 in the list of the devices detected on the mobile
phone.
4. Enter 0000 for the PIN. Some mobile phones may not ask for the
PIN.
5. The mobile phone confirms that pairing has completed and the
SMH10 is ready to use. You will hear a voice prompt from the
SMH10 saying “Your headset is paired”.
6. If you want to pair a GPS by multipoint pairing, search for the
Bluetooth device on the GPS screen, and select the Sena SMH10
at step 3. Please refer to the section “6.4.1 Multipoint GPS Pairing”
for more details.
7. If you want to pair the Sena SR10, Bluetooth adapter, please refer
to the section “6.5 Pairing with the Sena SR10, Bluetooth Two-way
Radio Adapter”.
6.3 Bluetooth Stereo Device Pairing
1. If the Bluetooth stereo device is integrated with the mobile phone
such as smartphones, you don’t need to pair the SMH10 with it
separately. When the SMH10 is paired with the mobile phone, it is
also paired as a stereo music device.
2. If you have a stand alone Bluetooth stereo device, follow the paring
procedure separately. The procedure is the same as the procedure
in “6.1 Mobile Phone Pairing”.

SMH10

English
Note:
1. If Bluetooth connection between the headset and a mobile phone
is disconnected, tap the Phone Button to recover the Bluetooth
connection immediately.
2. If Bluetooth connection between the headset and a media player is
disconnected, press the Jog Dial for 1 second to recover the Bluetooth
connection and play.
6.4 Bluetooth GPS Navigation Pairing
You can listen to voice instruction from Bluetooth GPS navigation.
Some GPS systems use mobile phone profile (HFP, Hands-Free
Profile) and others use stereo music profile (A2DP, Advanced
Audio Distribution Profile). Most motorcycle specific GPS systems
use mobile phone profile for turn-by-turn voice instruction. You can
simultaneously use a mobile phone and a GPS which uses mobile
phone profile by one of the following procedures.
6.4.1 Multipoint GPS Pairing
If you use GPS only for turn-by-turn voice instructions, not for Bluetooth
stereo music streaming, multipoint pairing is recommended for the
GPS connection. Multipoint Bluetooth pairing allows the SMH10
to connect two HFP devices at the same time: mobile phone and
GPS navigation. Follow the steps below to pair the GPS using the
multipoint pairing.
1. Turn on the headset and press the Jog Dial for 5 seconds until the
red LED is rapidly flashing and you hear multiple beeps.
2. Within 2 seconds, tap the Phone Button again, then the LED turns
to blue flashing and the beeps turn to high tone double beeps.
You will hear a voice prompt saying “Multipoint pairing”.
3. Search for Bluetooth devices on the GPS navigation screen.
Select the Sena SMH10 in the list of the devices detected on the
GPS.
4. Enter 0000 for the PIN.
5. The GPS confirms that pairing has completed and the SMH10 is
ready to use. You will hear a voice prompt from the SMH10 saying
“Your headset is paired”.
6. If the pairing process is not completed within three minutes, the
SMH10 will return to stand-by mode.

6.4.2 GPS Pairing as Mobile Phone
If GPS is not only used for turn-by-turn voice instructions but also
is your preferred Bluetooth stereo music source, you can pair the
GPS to the SMH10 by following the simple procedures in “6.1 Mobile
Phone Pairing”. When you do this, the SMH10 thinks the GPS is a
mobile phone so you can no longer pair your mobile phone to the
SMH10 directly. However, since some GPS systems support mobile
phone bridging over Bluetooth, you can pair the mobile phone to the
GPS to use your mobile phone. Please refer to the user’s guide of your
GPS for details.

pairing, the SMH10 is able to have two HFP devices at the same
time: mobile phone and Sena SR10.
1. Turn on the headset and press the Jog Dial for 5 seconds until the
red LED is rapidly flashing and you hear multiple beeps.
2. Within 2 seconds, tap the Phone Button again, then the LED turns
to blue flashing and the beeps turn to high tone double beeps.
You will hear a voice prompt saying “Multipoint pairing”.
3. Turn on the SR10 and follow the SR10’s “Bluetooth Headset
Pairing” procedure to complete the process. Please refer to the
SR10 user's guide for details.
4. When the pairing is completed, you will hear a voice prompt
saying “Your headset is paired”.
5. If the pairing process is not completed within three minutes, the
SMH10 will return to stand-by mode.
The incoming audio from the two-way radio via SR10 is heard in
the background while having an intercom conversation or a mobile
phone call. You can listen to music, answer a mobile call, have an
intercom conversation and use a two-way radio via SR10 for group
communication as shown in the figure below. A GPS navigation or
a radar detector could be connected to the SR10 by wire. The GPS
voice instruction or the radar detector alarm is also heard in the
