RIDE WITH ABSOLUTE SITUATIONAL
AWARENESS
The SKULLY Fenix AR provides an entirely new riding experience. It changes the way
you interact with your surroundings. The Fenix AR also requires you to adopt new habits
and alter existing patterns to take advantage of its ground-breaking technology.
That’s why it’s essential that you read and understand the following manual completely.
Familiarize yourself with the features and use of the helmet, before going on a ride.
Remember, the Fenix AR is primarily a safety device, and it must be used as directed to
provide maximum protection.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Ride safely. The SKULLY Fenix AR is designed to provide maximum safety and comfort.
However, motorcycle riding presents specific challenges and risks. The Fenix AR can help
reduce but not eliminate risk of injury. Please observe all applicable traffic laws and use caution
when riding a motorcycle.
Riding a motorcycle or off-road vehicle implies the user accepts the risk that some reasonably
foreseeable impacts will exceed the helmet’s capacity to protect against injury.
Use the Fenix AR only as instructed by this manual. Failure to do so may result in unsafe riding
conditions and will void the warranty. Make no modifications to the helmet.
Before riding, make sure your helmet fits properly and that you are comfortable with the size and
the weight of the helmet. The helmet chinstrap must be securely fastened at all times when riding
with the Fenix AR. Failure to fit and fasten the helmet properly may cause the helmet to come
off the wearer in an accident and result in severe injury or death.
For proper fit and safety, the helmet must always be worn with the lining attached (see page 10)
The Fenix AR is designed to provide maximum protection for the rider. However, the helmet
should be handled carefully to avoid reducing the protection it provides. Dropping the helmet on
the ground can degrade performance and should be avoided. If the helmet is dropped from a
moving vehicle, it could sustain serious damage that is not visible.
After your helmet has experienced a substantial impact, its safety features may be compromised.
The damage may not be visible, but the ability of the helmet to protect wearer is reduced. Shock-
absorbing materials within the helmet will have become compacted, reducing the ability to
absorb further shocks. Check the warranty for repair or replacement details.
If you think your helmet’s safety performance is compromised for any reason, DO NOT USE the
helmet for riding. A helmet that has been involved in a serious impact should be destroyed and
replaced. If you are uncertain, stop using the helmet and contact SKULLY for an evaluation.
Do not attempt to modify the helmet in any way. Do not remove or add any parts or change any
physical aspect of the helmet. Doing so may reduce the ability of the helmet to protect the wearer
and will void the warranty.
Do not use the top vent, spoiler and chin skirt as a handle. These pieces are designed for specific
functions and are not intended to support the weight of the helmet.
Keep the visor closed at all times when riding. The visor protects you from wind, dust, stones,
insects and other minor road debris. It does not provide protection against all hazards.
Do not place your helmet on the gas tank. Escaping vapors can damage the fabric of Fenix AR’s
protective liner.

5
Because the Fenix AR uses Bluetooth® wireless technology, it may cause interference with other
communication systems. You should switch off the Fenix AR:
•IN HOSPITALS AND AROUND MEDICAL DEVICES
•IN AIRCRAFT
•NEAR BLASTING SITES
Follow all instructions posted in these circumstances (or others) regarding wireless devices.
Use caution when viewing the Heads-Up Display. Use only as directed and avoid concentrating
on the HUD while riding. Failure to do so can cause distractions that may result in injury or
death.
Please be aware of and obey local traffic laws that may apply to the use of certain features of the
Fenix AR. You must be of legal driving age in the jurisdiction in which you ride.
Do not throw or sit on the helmet. Do not ride with the helmet hanging from a helmet holder or
hang the helmet from an angled hook.
Do not expose the liner of the helmet to bright sunlight.
Do not operate the helmet in temperatures that exceed 122° F (50° C)
Do not store the helmet for any extended time in temperatures that exceed 140° F (60° C)
Do not expose helmet to harsh chemicals, including bleach, ammonia, gasoline, or other
solvents. Additionally, substances such as insect repellent and brake fluid can damage the helmet
and reduce its ability to provide protection. See Care and Cleaning instructions on page 21 for
more information.
The ability of the helmet to protect the wearer is limited. No helmet protects against all possible
or foreseeable impacts.

GETTING ACQUAINTED TO FENIX AR

16
The Heads-Up Display (HUD) provides a rearview camera, blindspot detection, GPS navigation,
and other information.
Please take time to familiarize yourself with the HUD and blindspot camera before riding your
motorcycle. Using the HUD and Blindspot camera will be a new experience and you should be
comfortable with it before riding. The rearview camera utilizes a wide-angle lens; riding with a
passenger somewhat limits the full rear view, but doesn’t inhibit its use.
You must familiarize yourself with the features and operations of the Fenix AR prior to use. We
recommend the following steps:
1. In an outdoor environment, secure helmet to your head and power on the Fenix AR
helmet.
2. While standing, look at the HUD and notice rear view camera display and blind spot
capabilities.
3. Walk around the outside perimeter and occasionally glance at the HUD. Take note that
glancing at the HUD will become a natural reaction, similar to looking at a rear-view
mirror while driving a car.
4. After you are comfortable with the helmet, select a low traffic area such as a
neighborhood or large parking lot and start a low speed ride to acclimate yourself to the
Fenix AR experience. Please be aware of local traffic laws that may apply to the use of
certain features of the Fenix AR
5. The HUD display in the Fenix AR helmet provides an infinite focus that does not require
your eye to re-adjust each time you glance at the display.
6. Certain motorcycles may inhibit clear visibility to the right-hand side mirror. Careful
attention must be made when using the helmet to accommodate for each specific
motorcycle and its riding style.
The rearview display is not a replacement for turning your head or using your side mirrors during
lane changes. The system may be affected by various conditions such as weather (rain, snow,
etc.), status of approaching vehicles road condition. Similar to some mirrors, objects in the rear
view HUD image are closer than they appear.
Always check the surrounding area visually before making an actual lane change. The system is
only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at your rear when making a lane change and
assisting with reducing blind spots. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to take
caution when riding and making lane changes.

17
ADJUSTING THE HUD
The HUD can be adjusted vertically (up and down), laterally (side to side), and the viewing angle
can also be rotated within a limited range. For the ideal view, adjust the HUD until the viewing
rectangle is centered within the screen.
Vertical
Use knob on bottom right of helmet to raise and lower the HUD
Rotation
The HUD twists left and right for optimum viewing position
Pitch
Push/pull the HUD slightly forward/back to change the angle for optimum
viewing position
Please note that only slight movements are required to adjust the HUD. Do not attempt to force
the HUD if you feel resistance.
