Note: What the other sales companies wont tell you so dont get caught .
Bluetooth is a secure system designed primarily for cellphones as a one to one NOT one to many . If you have any bluetooth rider pillion system and you have a Bluetooth MP3 Player or a phone that does MP3 then only ONE person ( who is paired to the device) will hear the music ! your partner on the back will not hear your music !! and vice versa bluetooth is not made for this , thats just the way it is .

Read the manual carefully before operating the system , and operate the headset strictly according to the manual, otherwise performance might not be optimum
The Bluetooth Motorcycle-intercom-music System
The system is an integration of proven established Bluetooth Technology and optimal audio signal process systems.
It can offer you and your pillion, a more enjoyable motorcycling experience with its full duplex communication and digital stereo sound
The BIM headset enables:
A full duplex Rider to Pillion intercom system. .
A hand-free communication for cellphone calls while riding
And can also be used for enjoying music from either a stereo Bluetooth enabled cellphone. Or mp3 player or talking GPS connected to a stereo
audio Bluetooth transmitter
The full duplex intercom system connects the rider to the passenger, without use of wires
The BIM headset can be used either for rider, or for passenger.
Each BIM Module can have a maximum of two other Bluetooth units “paired” with it simultaneously ,
For example: The rider can have a cellphone and a pillion BIM module and a stereo audio bluetooth transmitter connected , the pillion can have a
a cellphone, a rider BIM unit and an Bluetooth stereo AV dongle connected . That is the maximum Bluetooth will allow for “ Bluetooth enabled audio
devices” at this present level of technology.

pillion phone paired .
Before using the module please familiarize yourself with Bluetooth function of your cell phone. Read the instruction manual that came with the phone so
you can enable its Bluetooth function.
Before you can use this headset in combination with your phone , you will need to “pair” it with your cell phone for the first time. This usually only
needs to be performed once with that individual phone however follow the instructions supplied by the phone manufacturer and save the “pairing” so it
will be automatically connected when this Phone and the headset come into contact again. This pairing is valid only with an individual phone if you use
another phone with the Headset (even if it is the same type of phone) you will have to pair again it’s a security measure of the Bluetooth system.

2)You must place the Headset in “Pairing mode”, This is done by way of a holding down the BT key on the headset for about 4 seconds, until the red &
blue LED flash alternately
3)Begin the “searching for Bluetooth device” on the cell phone according to the phone’s instructions
4)when the Headset is discovered, the cellphone will display BT568 select this and accept the connection

6)Your phone will confirm that pairing has succeeded. Note that the only light showing on the headset is now the the blue one and it will flash once
every 5 seconds
Note: if you need to pair the same phone with another BIM headset, you must cancel the bluetooth device name‘BT-568’in the paired bluetooth devices list on
your phone, otherwise it will not succeed in pairing.
ALSO NOTE: if one of the mobile phones is not a bluetooth enabled phone , you also can via your unit make a intercom call to another unit. But you need to
change the sequence of the powering on or the pairing as below:
a. Short press only (please do not perform a long press) the BT key on the unit which is not required to pair with a bluetooth enabled phone ,until
the red & the blue LED light are on simultaneously. Now release your hand promptly (please note, if you do a long press on the BT key, the red& the blue
LEDs will flash)
b.You can now then pair the another unit with its stereo bluetooth phone according to the user manual.
Attaching and removing the headset on your helmet. Velcro is optimal for easy attachment or removal
To prevent the ingress of moisture when riding in rain, the USB and the audio jack should be pointed towards the bottom or back of the helmet
1) Where to locate the B.I.M module ??
Look carefully at your helmet and find where you think is the best location ! It must on the outside left hand side shell of your helmet (as the riders
right hand will be on the throttle) the “clutch” hand will be the free one to push buttons with if you need to !! Clean that part of your helmet
with some detergent and water , let it dry and then hold the Velcro pad to the selected spot at about ear hieght
2) Remove the protective strip on the Velcro pad, press the Velcro pad on the outside shell of the helmet, press it firmly down but allow it 10 minutes
before loading it with the module.
3)You can now press the communications module onto the helmet.
Attaching the two speakers and the microphone .
The success of the system depends on the careful positioning of the earspeakers directly over top of the ear canals. this will give the best signal to noise
of the received audio..
1)To find the position of your ear canals , put your helmet on firmly but don’t do it up . Slide your thumb of one hand up between the inside of the
helmet and your ear , with the fingers of that hand on the exterior of the helmet. Feel the ear canal in your ear with your thumb and then grip the helmet
firmly between thumb and fingers of that hand, Carefully take the helmet off BUT don’t move your thumb from its position inside the helmet. Look at where
your thumb it ! this place marks the centre of the ear speaker ! Mount the Velcro pad to which the speaker will attach there, inside the helmet Check the
other side for optimum ear speaker position.
2)Remove the protective backing of the Velcro and mount the Velcro pads in the correct positions , attach the two speakers on the Velcro inside your
helmet, the speaker with short wire cord for left ear, the speaker with long wire cord for right ear.
Adjust the position of the microphone
Note: To reduce the external noise, you need to close the visor while riding, and please adjust the position of the microphone to be right in front of your
mouth with the foam just touching your lips , the visor should cover the microphone effectively! ( minimizes wind noise contribution )

case you would operate the music functions from the keyboard of the cell phone. We can not promise that the BIM module can enable music from a

Mono bluetooth headsets that "pair" with the cellphone adapter Stereo Music headset adapter pairs to bluetooth phone or MP3 transmitter

The bluetooth headset units i have examined , have varying degrees of audio volume and with a motorcycle headset system we will need the facility to control volume. it is recommended that earcushions be worn on the helmet headset to optimise and make the most of the just adequet volume of the bluetooth headset and the lower the volume we can run the bluetooth headset , the longer the talk time of the device will be. I have experimented with some stereo headset adapters with very good sucess. They do have much better volume that the mono units and the volume is controllable , they are made for listening to stereo music ( some newer bluetooth cellphones have this MP3 facility termed A2DP and AVRCP)
The only problem with them is the microphone is inside the lapel placed bluetooth unit and the stereo headset plugs into it , To use this headset on a standard "K" series headset ,I have to remove the internal microphone and cable out to a 2.5mm mono socket attached to the outside to enable the headset mic to be plugged in .

I hope to enable an inexpensive rider to pillion intercom by using two helmet bluetooth headsets ,each paired to its own cellphone adapter unit and then plug the two cellphone adapters together !! this will not allow cellphone connection as well!

i have 200 Bluetooth cellphone adapters in stock ,they will be ( $42) each and I am still looking for an inexpensive, loud mono bluetooth headset with the facility to plug in a headset ( not hard wired) now we have a suitable model, the BTA420 this has been superceded by the $50 BT Motor Phone

I have just received a dedicated waterproof bluetooth headset and a rider intercom headset unit, either can be attached to a motorcycle helmet. They are supplied with two earspeakers and a boom mic so will suit open face and full face helmets . They have their own internal lithium polymer battery and is quoted as having a 7-8 Hr talk time and a couple of hours recharge time . I have fitted the earspeakers with earcushions and find there is plenty of volume at 100 Kph under full throttle conditions ( max engine noise) . The bluetooth unit pairs easily with my Nokia cell phone and operates hands free on auto answer
