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 BT Next C. unit. The volume level can be adjusted using the Voume
+ 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. Normally
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 "Forward" and "Middle" button (you
will hear one audio beep tone for enabling confirmation and two audio beep tone for
disabling).
Priority
The BT Next C. manage the different connection/audio sources based on the following
priority rules.
Changing of the operative mode
Every time you change mode (long press of the middle button to toggle between In-
tercom/ 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 Pho-
ne (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 connec-
tion" 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
When the GPS is paired to the "Volume +" button,(high priority) the street voice an-
nouncement will always interrupt the intercom.
When paired using the "Volume -" button, (lower priority) the voice announcement are
always in background also if the intercom is active.
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 bea-
ver 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 BT Next C., you need to pur-
chase the specific 2.5mm plug AUX cable, sold separately. Some manufacturers
radios use a different pin configuration, so we recommend that you ask your dea-
ler 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 simulta-
neously maintain the Intercom feature enabled between two or more BT Next C.
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 BT Next C. 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 BT Next C. 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 explained in the previous section.
Setup and special configurations
Resetting all paired devices
Sometimes you may find it necessary to delete all the pairing references stored in
the BT Next C. unit (reset operation).
To perform this operation you must first enter the setup mode:
› Turn off the unit
› Press and hold down the "Middle" button about 7 sec., until the Red light is
on permanently.
› Then simultaneously press and hold down the "Volume +" and "Volume –"
buttons for 3 seconds. The Blue Light will be lit on for 1 sec and than back
to steady RED.
› Double click on the "Middle" button to exit the "Setup" mode and use the BT
