greater distances, with more people at once, whilst still en-

joying the flexibility and freedom of movement afforded you by

the wireless Bluetooth Connection.

Using the wired audio input

Your Midland BT2 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.

Enabling/disabling the wire input

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

“AUX” button.

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

audio confirmation tone).

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

audio confirmation tones).

Listening to music

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

source using the cable supplied with the BT2 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 BT2 that the device is connected to.

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 BT2:

› 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 Top 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, remembe-

ring that the volume adjustment is controlled by the automatic

AGC system and that it will therefore be automatically increa-

sed in relation to background noise.

Special configurations

Your Midland BT2 can be configured with customized settings

to suit the needs of even the most demanding bikers.

In particular, expert users may configure the following “advan-

ced” features:

› Permanently enable 3-way communications

› Voice enable Intercom (VOX)

Adjust the microphone sensitivity

Disable the VOX feature

Permanently enabling 3-way communications

Bluetooth communications with a (low) priority and audio com-

munications transmitted by the wired connection are usually

disabled when the Intercom feature is enabled. By enabling

this feature, you can maintain active communications whilst

simply transferring the low priority feature to the other user

(eg pillion).

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

tain Intercom communications and simultaneously talk using

a transceiver radio connected via Bluetooth or wired connec-

tion.

In addition it also allows you to share the music between Rider

and Pillion. Considering that the music quality is “mono” for

the second person who will share the music (see the chapter

“Share the music between driver and passenger” below).
