Installation
The SHAD BC03 is very easy to install into a helmet.
Remove the side padding from the inside of the helmet
(if it can be removed) and place the devices (2) and
(4) at the height of your ears. The device is designed
so that the main unit with the boom microphone is
placed on the left side, as shown in gure 1, and so
that the second speaker is placed on the right side.
The wire between devices (2) and (4) must be stored
inside the helmet, under the padding. In order to affix
the headphones, two hook and loop fastener pads
are provided (male and female) with an adhesive
backing (7). In case you need to use the hook and
loop fastener, stick the male part of the pad onto the
device and the female part onto the inside of the
helmet.
Depending on the internal configuration of each type of
helmet, it may be necessary to use the entire hook and
loop fastener pad or only a part of it (see figure 2). In
some cases, it may only be necessary to stick the male
part onto the device as the inside of the helmet may
have padding that can serve as hook and loop fastener
(female). If needed, comfort pads (6) to place on the
headphones are also provided, in order to improve
comfort against your skin.
The charging cable (3) must be placed on the lateral-
back section of the helmet so as to facilitate access to
charge the device.
Place the microphone (1) on the front section of the
helmet (close to and oriented towards your mouth,
always protecting the microphone with the padding).
Linking/Pairing
To use the SHAD BC03, it’s necessary to pair it to the
Bluetooth®device you wish to connect it to (mobile
phone, GPS navigator). While the device is switched
off, hold the control button (1b) until the LED indicator
(1a) begins flashing in Red and Blue. The mobile phone
or GPS navigator will find the device under the name
BC03. Select the BC03 device and, if necessary, enter
the access code: 0000.
NOTE: Pairing is a process that only needs to be
completed once. When the SHAD BC03 is paired to
a specific device, both devices will pair automatically
when switched off and on.
SHAD BC03
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Welcome
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a SHAD
BC03 device. Thanks to the intercom function, you
can talk to your passenger, listen to your favourite
music and answer your calls while travelling on your
scooter or motorcycle.
The SHAD BC03 system is compatible with all
Bluetooth®devices that transmit audio (mobile
phones, smartphones, GPS navigators and other
devices) using the proles specied in the manual.
It can be paired with any other product in the SHAD
range or to a different Bluetooth®audio receiver,
thanks to its UNIVERSAL connectivity feature.
This device is designed so that it may be wholly
integrated into your helmet. It can be operated and
paired
easily through a single control button (1b).
A single red/blue LED indicator (1a) serves to display
connection status, pairing, battery charging and low
battery. The SHAD BC03 device weighs only 55 g.
Charging the SHAD BC03
Before using your SHAD BC03 device for the first time,
you must charge the device completely.
Connect the terminal (3) to the provided USB cable (5)
and then connect the cable to a USB charging port.
While charging, the red LED light will switch on (1a) and it
will switch off once charging has been completed.
NOTE:Don’t pull on the cable to disconnect it from the USB port
NOTE: As time goes by, batteries gradually lose their
charge. This is why it’s important to charge the battery
fully before using the device and allow the battery to
use almost all of it’s charge in between charging cycles.
WARNING: If you plan to store your SHAD device
for a long period of time, be sure to recharge it at
least once every six months to ensure perfect battery
function.

Switching on/off
Switching on: press and hold the button (1b) for a few
seconds until the speaker provides an acoustic signal
and the LED indicator (1a) begins to ash in Blue.
Switching off: press and hold the control button (1b) for
a few seconds until the speaker provides an acoustic
signal and the LED indicator (1a) begins ashing in red
before the device powers off.
Call functions
When there is an incoming call, the speaker will provide
an acoustic signal.
Answering by pressing the button (1b): press the
control button (1b) only once
Answering through a voice command: answer the call
by speaking any word out loud (e.g. “Answer!”)
Ending a call: press the control button (1b) only once or
wait until the other person hangs up
Rejecting an incoming call: press the control button
(1b) twice, as soon as you hear the acoustic signal for
an incoming call
Redialling: press the control button (1b) twice. This
depends on the features and conguration of your
mobile phone.
Adjusting the volume
The SHAD BC03 device is pre-programmed with a
volume level that allows for optimal listening at speeds
of up to 80 km/h (50 mph). To adjust the volume, use
the volume controls on the connected device.
Volume perception may vary depending on the position
and separation of the speakers from your ears, as
well as the type of helmet and motorcycle, external
conditions and other factors.
Playing music from your mobile phone
Once the SHAD BC03 is paired to a mobile phone
capable or transmitting music through Bluetooth®A2DP,
activate music on the phone and it will immediately
be heard through the SHAD BC03 device. Music
and volume can only be controlled from the phone or
device, depending on its features and conguration.
While you listen to music, all call features will remain
active. In case you receive an incoming call, music will
pause and, when the call ends, playback will resume.
Likewise, music will resume after making a call.
Behind the case of the SHAD BC03, you’ll find a
switch that allows you to select between Mono or
Stereo audio output. Refer to current legislation in
your country and make the appropriate selection.
SHAD shall not be held responsible for misuse of this
feature.
