manual abstract
Do not make adjustments to CB / FRS radio controls while If you receive a cell phone call while riding with the FRS or CB radio in use, the cell phone will mute all Level 1 & 2 communications. However, if (out of habit) you press the PTT button while talking on the phone (something you should not do), that portion of your phone conversation could be transmitted over the FRS or CB radio. Note: The range afforded with CB or FRS radio will vary depending upon terrain, weather conditions, outside sources of interference, etc. This is 13 particularly true of CB, which is AM band (FRS is FM). Therefore, expect less range in mountain areas, greater range in plains areas. Note: For maximum enjoyment of the system, it is imperative that the helmet headset microphone placement be correct, as advised in the headset installation instructions. Too much gap between the mouth and microphone will result in excessive noise entering the system and imperfect intercom operation / VOX switching. 14 Operation of (CB) Citizen Band Radio Requirement • A CB radio such as the Midland™ 75-830 CB radio kit (BMW PN 99 99 0 000 196) available from your BMW retailer. • We recommend that the CB radio kit be installed by your BMW retailer. • The BMW CB antenna kit BMW PN 99 00 0 001 050 / 051 mast and base is required. • A push-to-talk button is required. A driver and passenger PTT button kit is available to allow either person to initiate communications on the CB radio under BMW PN 99 99 0 000 193. • The CB radio is connected to the ComSystem under the bodywork of the radio area, so alternative mounting locations will be possible. • Ensure that the CB radio antenna is balanced to the CB, with as low a “SWR” measurement as possible. The above mentioned antenna kit will produce excellent SWR readings near 1.1 when adjusted correctly. Function • With helmet cables connected and ignition turned on, (the ComSystem is active), the CB radio is ready to be used. The CB operates on the same level as the normal intercom and FRS radio (Level 2). This allows both rider and passenger to monitor either CB, FRS or both simultaneously. • With ignition turned “on”, turn the CB radio “on” and adjust to the 15 desired channel. You can select memory functions to remember specific channels. • With intercom volume set at your normal level, adjust the volume of the CB radio to be received at a comfortable level. Use the CB radio volume control to do this (you need to receive a real transmission to do this) before the ride begins. Also adjust the CB squelch control to a comfortable level. • We recommend reading the owners manual provided with your CB radio to take full advantage of the features and benefits of the radio, including dual channel scanning. • Incoming CB radio transmissions will activate the intercom system, mute the music (Level 1), and will be heard by rider and passenger. Rider and passenger can discuss what is being heard from the FRS or CB radio without that conversation transmitted. If FRS is also being monitored, incoming transmissions will mix with the CB radio broadcasts, muting the music as well. • You can only transmit on either CB or FRS, not both at the same time. Therefore, you must select which radio device you wish to transmit on. Selector switch . should be set to transmit on the device you have chosen. • To transmit, rider or passenger must press the PTT button with (TX) toggle switch set to “CB”. • The 3.5 second delay of the intercom system aids two-way radio conversations, since most users don’t say “over” when their statements are finished. The 3.5 second delay provides time to bridge the natural pause that occurs while listeners determine the incoming speech has ended, before they respond. • Note: When riding with other motorcycles in a close group, you may wish to utilize the low power output selection switch on the CB radio, which will reduce the output wattage, thereby reducing the distortion that can occur when transmitting in very close proximity to other motorcycles using CB. Do not make adjustments to CB / FRS radio controls while driving. 16 Note: If you receive a cell phone call while riding with the FRS or CB radio in use, the cell phone will mute all Level 1 & 2 communications.
