Introduction
Thank you for choosing the IK6 communication system. With its wireless design, the
full-duplex stereo communication system is designed for installation in most open face,
flip-up or full-face helmets.
With the IK6, you can make hands-free phone calls with your Bluetooth-capable mobile
phone, listen to music or voice instructions from GPS navigation and activate the wireless
communication link from driver to driver or driver to passenger. This device has a range of
1200 meters (depending on environmental conditions).
The IK6 complies with the Bluetooth specification V3.0 and supports the following profiles:
● Headset Profile (HSP)
● Hands-Free Profile (HFP)
● Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
● Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
● Audio Gateway (AG)
Furthermore, universal connection to most Bluetooth headsets on the market is supported.
Our helmet speakers achieve a good sound quality. The headset also offers a practical
combination of wind and ambient noise suppression for the microphone.
Please read this manual carefully before using this product.
