INSTRUCTION MANUAL and WARRANTY Active-PLUS - Kit 200 It is very important that you fully read and understand all of these instructions before installation and use. This system is designed for domestic motorcycle use ONLY.
CONGRATULATIONS Thank you for choosing Autocom. Your Active-PLUS is designed, built and fully tested to provide you with many years of very high quality use and performance if installed and used as described in these instructions. Please take time to read and understand these instructions and feel free to ask your Autocom dealer or call our help line if anything is not perfectly clear and understood.
ACTIVE-PLUS - MAIN CONTROLS Independent Rider Volume Control Colour coded (light green) for easy identification enables the rider to easily set the optimum volume for any conditions, including use with or without earplugs, or even custom moulded in-ear speaker (monitor type) earplugs.
GETTING STARTED PORTABLE USE Having read this manual completely and checked any questions with your dealer, you should now be ready to remove the battery compartment lid and carefully connect a fresh PP3 9 volt battery to the battery clip and then replace the battery compartment lid, taking care not to trap any wires. Remember that alkaline type batteries typically last about 5 times longer than cheap batteries.
FIRST TEST Please check that the VOX control adjuster in the battery compartment is set per the illustration on page 10. This is a low to medium VOX setting that should suit most people’s needs on most bikes at most typical speeds and a good place to start with for this test. Set both rider and passenger volume control knobs all the way clockwise which is the minimum volume level and a good starting point for use without earplugs in this test.
MAIN CONTROL UNIT FINAL INSTALLATION Where you route the cables along the frame of the bike etc, secure them as required using tie wraps. Care should be taken to ensure that the cables cannot fall into the chain, wheel or foul the steering etc, or be trapped or crushed by the seat or body panels.
HEADSET INSTALLATION There are far too many different helmets to be able to fully describe every possible installation and so these instructions are designed as a basic guide only. Please see your local Autocom dealer or our website www.autocom.co.uk for more detailed specific helmet installations.
Top Tips After first installing the headset/s into the helmet/s it is often beneficial to use something like a silk balaclava to help prevent your ears being folded over while putting the helmet on and off until you have fine tuned the speaker positioning for maximum comfort and performance.
Basic principle of how most helmets are made, come apart and go back together. View from underside of Shoei type helmet View from underside of Arai type helmet The fabric is either taped or elasticated over the polystyrene and so it is easy to install the speakers behind the lining. Note that the wire should come out of the speaker towards the back of the helmet. When replacing the cheek pads, trap the boom between the outer shell and the inner cheek pads plastic tongue if it has one.
VOX VOX or voice activation, gives you several advantages. Apart from turning the microphones off when you are not speaking, ensuring no noise is picked up and amplified to the users ears, the VOX can automatically mute the music or make your transceiver transmit when you speak, giving you hands free and safer operation. SETTING THE VOX CONTROL If you are going to be using a passenger headset then you should do so when setting the VOX, as the passenger typically get far more helmet noise that the rider.
