If you have activated the “Intercom always open” fun-

ction and a call comes in, the conversation will NOT be

private anymore and the Passenger will be part of the

phone call.

If the intercom function hasn’t been activated before the

GPS talk (or before a phone call), the passenger cannot

participate to the conversation. To enable the intercom

function, the passenger must wait until the conversation

ends.

Using the wired audio input

Your Midland BT1 is also fitted with a wired audio input (labe-

led AUX), that can be used to connect a stereo audio source,

like an iPod (or any other MP3 Player) or a PMR446 transcei-

ver for bike-to-bike communications.
Priority: the wired audio input has the lowest priority

when compared to the other Bluetooth connections (in-

cluding the Intercom) and will therefore always be disa-

bled when another Bluetooth communication is opened.

Listening to music

To listen to music from the wired input, connect the audio

source using the cable supplied with the BT1 unit. The volu-

me level is 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.
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.
Attention: the volume adjustment, (“Volume+” and “Vo-

lume –“) buttons, cannot be used to adjust the volume of

the wired audio source(eg MP3 player), only the volume

of the BT1 that the device is connected to.

Enabling/disabling the wire input

The wire input can be enabled and disabled by means of the

“AUX” button.

› Disabling: briefly press the “AUX” button (you will hear two

audio confirmation tones).

› Enabling: briefly press the “AUX” button (you will hear one

audio confirmation tone).

Using a Two Way Radio transceiver

To be able to use the transceiver, it is necessary to purchase

a specific cable (sold separately) in order to connect the radio

to your Midland BT1:

› NB, Some manufacturers radios use a different pin

configuration, so we recommend that you ask your de-

aler as to which cable is best suited to your needs

To communicate via the attached radio, press the transmis-

sion Press To Talk (PTT) button to speak and release it to

listen. It is not possible to talk and listen simultaneously. The

cable connected to the transceiver has a PTT button that can

be placed on the handlebar of your bike or held in your hand

(If you are the pillion rider).

Adjust the volume of the transceiver to your needs, remem-

bering that the volume adjustment is controlled by the auto-

matic AGC system and that it will therefore be automatically

increased in relation to background noise.

Special configurations

Some Midland BT1 features can be configured to suit the

specific needs of bikers.

› Permanently enable 3-way communications

› Voice enable Intercom (VOX)

Adjust the microphone sensitivity

Disable the VOX feature

Permanently enabling 3-way communications

The music coming from the wired connection is interrupted by

default when the Intercom feature is enabled.

By enabling this feature, what is heard from the wired con-

nection is not interrupted but switched to the pillion’s device.

This feature can be useful, for example, if you wish to main-

tain Intercom communications and simultaneously talk using

a transceiver radio connected via Blue tooth or wired connec-

tion, or to hear phone calls and GPS indications.
