Fm Radio With Intercom; How To Use The Wired Audio Input; Listening To Music; Enabling/Disabling The Wired Input - Midland BT NEXT Guide D'utilisation

FM Radio with intercom

When you are in "FM Radio" mode is not possible to manually open the inter-
com, you can only open it using VOX feature (just talk) to the unit paired on the
"Middle" button. To manually activate the intercom you must switch to "Intercom"
mode.

How to use the wired audio input

Your Midland BTNext 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
PMR446 transceiver for group communication or for a coverage increase.

Listening to music

To listen to music from the wired input, connect the audio source using the cable
supplied with the BTNext unit. The volume level can be adjusted using the Vou-
me + and Volume – button, or automatically adjusted by the AGC system, which
means that you only need to adjust the volume of your iPod/ MP3 player to a level
that will allow you to listen to music in normal speed.
Attention: never set the volume of the MP3 Player to the maximum possible. Nor-
mally the best level is about the 70% of the maximum.
Hint: We recommend that you perform a few tests adjusting the volume of your
iPod/MP3 player so at the normal speed the Headset volume is suited to your
needs. The AGC system will automatically increase the volume on higher speed.
Make a note to remember this setting for future trips.

Enabling/disabling the wired input

If needed the wired input can be enabled or disabled:
Enabling/Disabling: Make a Long press on the "Rear" button (you will hear one
audio beep tone for enabling confirmation and two audio beep tone for disa-
bling).
Attention: if you are in FM mode, you must first turn off the radio and then make a
"long"press on the Rear button.

Priority

The BTNext manage the different connection/audio sources based on the fol-
lowing priority rules.

Changing of the operative mode

Every time you change mode (long press of the middle button to toggle between
Intercom/ FM Radio / Phone), the previous audio is closed and the control goes
to the new mode.

Intercom

The Intercom has always a higher priority against the music from the FM Radio or
Phone (including GPS in music play mode). Every time you open the intercom the
music from a Bluetooth source is stopped. Only the audio/Music from the "AUX
wired connection" is always in background by default.

Phone calls

The phone call has always the higher priority and will interrupt every connection,
like music, intercom. Only the AUX wired connection can be still on if the setting
"Wired connection always in background" was enabled.

GPS voice announcement

The voice announcements from the GPS are available in background also during
intercom

AUX wired connection

Music or audio from the AUX wired connection, by default it is always in the
background also when the intercom is open or during a phone call. It is possible
to change this beaver following the procedure described in the "Setup and Special
configuration" chapter.

Using a PMR446 transceiver with the cable connection

In order to connect the transceiver to your Midland BTNext, you need to purchase
the specific 2.5mm plug AUX cable, sold separately. S
ome manufacturers radios use a different pin configuration, so we recommend
that you ask your dealer as to which cable is best suited to your needs
The cable connected to the transceiver normally has also a PTT button that can be
placed on the handlebar of your bike or held in your hand (If you are the pillion
rider).
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 automatic AGC system and that it will therefore
be automatically increased in relation to background noise.
If you wish to use a PMR446 transceiver for group communications and simul-
taneously maintain the Intercom feature enabled between two or more BTNext
devices, you must remember that every time you talk to communicate with the
PMR 446 transceiver (pressing the PTT button), you will also activate the intercom
of the BTNext to the unit connected to the "Middle" button (thanks to the VOX
feature).
To avoid the Intercom activation when you speak on the PMR446, you can decide
to pair the BTNext unit on the "Rear" or "Forward" (where the VOX is not active) or
if you still want to use the "Middle" button, you must disable the VOX feature, as
