Midland BTX1FM - Page 9
Using the wired audio input
Your Midland BTX1FM is also supplied with a wired audio input (AUX) that can be used
to connect an audio source like an iPod (or any other MP3 Player) or a GMRS trans-
ceiver for group communication or to increase range�
Listening to music
To listen to music from the wired input (AUX), connect the audio source using the
optional AUX cable� The volume buttons cannot be used to adjust the volume of the
wired audio source� The AGC system will automatically increase the volume when the
motorcycle is at high speeds�
Attention: Never set the volume of the MP3 player to the maximum possible. Listening
to music too loud can damage your hearing permanently.
Hint: We recommend performing a few tests adjusting the volume of your iPod/
MP3 player so at normal speed the headset volume is suited to your needs. The
AGC system will automatically increase the volume at higher speeds.
Enabling/disabling the wired input
If needed, the wired input (AUX) can be enabled or disabled:
Long press (3 seconds) the “Back” button� You will hear one beep to enable wired
input and two beeps to disable�
Using a GMRS transceiver with the AUX connection
In order to connect the transceiver to your Midland BTX1FM, you must purchase the
specic 2�5mm plug AUX cable, sold separately�
Some manufacturer radios use a dierent pin conguration, so ask your dealer
which cable is best suited to your needs�
The cable connected to the transceiver normally also has a PTT button that can be
placed on the handlebar of your bike or held in your hand if you are the passenger�
To communicate via the attached radio, press the PTT button to speak and release it
to listen� It is not possible to talk and listen simultaneously�
Adjust the volume of the transceiver to your needs, remembering that the volume
adjustment is controlled by the AGC system and that it will be automatically in-
creased in relation to background noise�
If using a GMRS transceiver for group communications and simultaneously main-
taining the Intercom feature enabled between two or more BTX1FM devices, every
time you communicate with the GMRS transceiver (pressing the PTT button), you
will also activate the intercom of the BTX1FM to the unit connected to the “Middle”
button (thanks to the VOX feature)�
To avoid Intercom activation when you speak on the GMRS transceiver, you can pair
the BTX1FM unit on the “Back” or “Forward” button (where VOX is not active) or
if you still want to use the “Middle” button, disable the VOX feature as explained
on page 5�
Attention: If you disable the VOX feature, you will only be able to answer incoming
phone calls by pressing the “Forward” button.
Setup and special configurations
Resetting all paired devices
You may nd it necessary to delete all the pairing references stored in the BTX1FM

Adjusting/disabling the VOX feature (Intercom and telephone)
The Intercom feature can be enabled both manually and vocally (VOX)� VOX activa-

To adjust VOX for optimum results, choose one of the following four microphone
sensitivity levels: high, medium, low, or very low� The default setting of the BTX1FM
is low� It is also possible to disable the VOX feature in order to activate the Intercom
and phone call answering features in manual mode only�
