rigid cover of the helmet, so that the microphone is correctly positioned in front of
your mouth and that the white symbol is facing your mouth. This type of micro-
phone is suited for Open Faced and Flip Front helmets.
Wired microphone
Using the Velcro/adhesive strip, place the microphone inside the helmet in front
of your mouth. This type of microphone is more suited for Full Faced helmets. The
mini connector on the microphone allows you choose the microphone that best
suits the helmet you are using.
Audio kit jack
The audio kit must then be connected to the central jack of the Midland BTX2 unit
using the “L” shaped connector.
Description of the installation brackets
The Midland BTX2 can be xed onto the helmet in two dierent ways: By either
using the plate with bi-adhesive strip, or the clamp. These methods allow you to
safely “x” the BTX2 unit onto your helmet and to remove it at any time in order
to recharge or store it.
Plate with bi-adhesive strip
The xing plate has a bi-adhesive strip on one of
its sides. To x the plate in place, clean the appli-
cation area on the helmet surface, remove the bi-
adhesive lm and
place the xing plate on the helmet by keeping it
contact with the surface for a few seconds.
Screw Clamp
Using the Allen Key, loosen the two screws on the clamp and place the rear plate
between the helmet padding and the external rigid protection. Then, tighten the
two screws in order to rmly x the clamp in place. Inside the clamp is included a
small plastic spacer that can be removed to give a tighter t if required.
Fitting and removing your Midland BTX2
The BTX2 can be easily tted onto the helmet by sliding it downwards so that
it ts into the slot of the selected xing device (plate with bi-adhesive strip or
clamp). BTX2 is maintained in position thanks to the xing clip located on the
upper section (A).
To detach the BTX2, simply press the xing clip and push the unit upwards.
Switching your Midland BTX2 on and off
Switching the unit on:
Press and hold “Middle” button down for approximately 3 seconds until the BLUE
indicator lights.
Switching the unit off:
Press and hold both “Middle” and “Rear” buttons together for approximately 3 se-
conds until the RED indicator ashes 3 times, thus lessening the chances that you
might turn o the unit accidentally (especially whilst wearing gloves).
Operative “mode”
The BTX2 can operate in two main “mode”: Intercom and Phone.
The 3 multi function buttons can have dierent functionality depending on which
mode the unit is at that moment.
› In “Intercom mode” the middle buttons let you manage the communications
between driver and passanger
› In “Phone mode” you can manage your Bluetooth cellular phone to place/
answer a phone call or to listen to the music (in stereo mode). Please use your
phone responsibly and safely.
You can switch (toggle) from one mode to the other simply pressing the Middle
button for 3 seconds. A voice announcement will tell in which mode you are on.
The toggle sequence is the following:
› Intercom mode (if another unit has been paired)
› Phone mode (if a phone has been paired)
Every time you turn on the unit, the default mode is Intercom (if it was previously
paired to another unit), otherwise it will be Phone (If was paired to a phone).
If you need to know in which mode the unit currently is, just press the “Volume +
“ and “Volume –“ button together. A voice announcement will tell you the current
mode.
Maximum Distance
You can reach 800mt intercom distance if the ip up antenna is up and if you are
in line of site without obstructions and interferences (the riders must be always
in sight).
