On the left side of the helmet, locate the most suitable
point for inserting the clip, slide the rear section of the
clip in between the helmet shell and the cheekpad, and
let the end (with the holes for the screws) protrude on
the outside. Now, try to join the front section of the clip
onto the rear section. Depending on the thickness/radius
of the helmet, it may be necessary to use the adapter (J)
to compensate for the distance between the two sections
so that the clip still adheres to the helmet shell when the
screws are tightened.
Tighten the screws with the screwdriver provided. Do
not use excessive force when tightening the screws. You
could break the clip or part of it.
If you are also using the adapter for the clip, you must re-
place the two screws installed in the clip with the longer
ones supplied with the unit.
1.3 Audio section (microphone/earphones) (C/B)
The InterphoneF5 is equipped with two types of audio
kits. This allows you to choose the one that’s more suited
to the helmet you are using and ensures easy installation
on both open-face/modular and full-face helmets.
The dierence between the two kits lies in the way the
microphone is connected to the earphone section.
Open-face/modular helmets use the kit with the micro-
phone mounted on a exible metal arm (B), since the
arm must remain suspended in front of the user’s mouth.
Full-face helmets use the audio kit with the microphone
connected to the earphone by a thin wire (C) that can be
handled and hidden easily during installation. The micro-
phone is encapsulated in a strip of exible rubber and is
applied on the inside of the chin strap with adhesive or
Velcro, in front of the user’s mouth.
The right earphone is connected to the audio section
with a moveable mini-jack. Use only the left earphone
in countries where the use of a double earphone is pro-
hibited.
Installing the audio section
Wear the helmet and locate the exact point where your
ears are positioned inside.
If the internal fabric of the helmet allows it, try to apply
the two earphones in the audio kit directly at the points
you determined. The Velcro on the back of the earphone
will often adhere perfectly to the material in the helmet
without the need for using the fabric strip (I) with double-
adhesive. Otherwise, if the material is unmanageable, ap-
ply the strip of fabric at the point you previously deter-
mined and place the earphone on the strip.
Put on the helmet once again and check whether the ear-
phones are correctly positioned. They must be centred
and in gentle contact with your ears.
If the helmet allows it, it’s a good idea to insert the ear-
phones under the cheekpad fabric, which requires more
time and care to accomplish but makes the internal kit
almost invisible and more comfortable.
Thread the cable with plug under the cheekpad and
around the helmet while trying not to lay it over itself or
twist it. Then, pull it out on the left side as far as it will go.
Afterwards, when the plug is connected to the F5 module
mounted on the support, you can push the excess cable
back inside and leave only as much as you need on the
outside.
Microphone on open-face/modular helmets (B) - if
possible, slide the microphone arm through the hole in
the chin strap and below the cheekpad so that the micro-
phone is more stable and less obtrusive. It should be pos-
sible to position the microphone with foam windscreen
(13) in front of your mouth, but it may be left slightly to
the side of the mouth.
After installation is complete, make sure that the wording
MIC on the foam windscreen on the microphone arm fac-
es your mouth and preferably points toward your eyes.
Microphone on full-face helmets (C) - the wire from the
microphone must exit from under the cheekpad, and the
microphone (19) must be installed on the inside of the
chin guard and in front of the mouth.
Make sure that the microphone as installed does not
block any ventilation holes, and check that the ventila-
tion holes are not pointing directly at the microphone.
The microphone may be installed directly with the built-
in double-sided adhesive (permanent installation) or the
male/female Velcro strip (I) provided with the unit (re-
movable installation).
NOTES: If the earphones exert too much pressure on the
ears, the helmet must be modied slightly. Otherwise,
the pain caused by the pressure will become unbearable
after only a short period of use.
To modify the helmet, lift the fabric on the cheekpads
and use a cutter or other suitable tool to remove some
of the underlying Styrofoam and create a seat for the ear-
phone. Remove only enough material to accommodate
the diameter of the earphone.
This operation requires a certain degree of manual skill.
If you’re not sure you can do it, it’s a good idea to have it
done by your dealer or to have a skilled person help you.
1.0 Preparation/installation
The InterphoneF5 is a modular audio kit consisting of a
Bluetooth® module (the core of the system) (A), a double
slide-on support system for the module (E/D), and a pair
of audio kits to be installed inside the helmet (C/B), Be-
sides the two audio kits supplied with the unit, optional
kits with dierent structures and functions are available.
For further information, see the accessories section at
www.interphone.cellularline.com
Before conguring the InterphoneF5, it is a good idea to
check whether software updates that improve F5 per-
formance are available on the website. If they are, be sure
to install them.
Verify compatibility with the operating system on your PC,
then download the le and the attached instructions that
will guide you through the update process.
1.1 Charging
The InterphoneF5 must be charged before use.
Plug the battery charger supplied with the unit (F) into a
110/220 V socket and insert the battery charger plug into
the socket (8) on the InterphoneF5 module.
The charge LED turns orange (7) during charging.
When the battery is fully charged, the LED will turn green.
About two hours are needed to charge the F5 module com-
pletely. Two modules can be charged together in around
three hours.
1.2 Installing the bracket on the helmet.
The InterphoneF5 has two mounting systems (small plates)
(E/D) that you can install on the helmet. Choose the system
that is better suited to the type of helmet you are using.
Equipped with a sliding latch system, the plates support and
lock the F5 Bluetooth® module into position. One system is
applied with an adhesive system (E), and the other uses a
clip (D).
Thanks to the sliding latch system on the plates, the F5 mod-
ule can easily be removed for recharging, updating, security
against theft, and use on other helmets that have already
been prepared with other kits designed for each type of
helmet.
The kits for an additional helmet all consist of an audio sec-
tion with earphones/microphone, along with two support
plates for the module.
The kits for an additional helmet are optional and may have
dierent structures and functions.
For further information, see the accessories section at
www.interphone.cellularline.com.
We recommend using the adhesive plate (E) since it is
more aerodynamic and can be placed wherever you like
on the surface of the helmet, which allows you to choose
point that best suits the shape of the helmet shell to
maximize appearance and adhesion.
On the other hand, the adhesive plate cannot be reposi-
tioned. Once it is applied, it cannot be removed because
the 3M adhesive that provides its excellent holding pow-
er does not allow for a change of position. If the plate is
removed, it must be replaced with a new one.
Carefully choose the most suitable point before applica-
tion.
The clip-on plate (D) is better for those who do not want
to apply permanent adhesive to their helmet or would
like to be able to remove the plate and use the helmet
with no accessories installed.
The clip-on plate requires that the helmet allow part of
the plate to be inserted between helmet shell and cheek-
pad. The cheekpads on some helmets are glued or have
special seals that prevent the plate from being inserted
correctly or require the helmet to be modied, which
not everyone is willing to do. In these cases, it’s better to
choose the adhesive plate.
Both brackets can be installed on the left side of the hel-
met, only.
Installation with (adhesive) plate
Take the adhesive plate, but do not remove the protec-
tive lm on the back. Place the plate on the left side of
the helmet shell. Now, move it around and nd the po-
sition where it will adhere and function best. Before ap-
plying it, mount the F5 module on the plate and check
whether the position you chose could disturb the driver
by causing interference or discomfort (check visor, open-
ing, etc...).
Carefully clean and degrease the point chosen for apply-
ing the plate. Do not use strong detergents that could
ruin the paint on the helmet. After cleaning the helmet
shell, remove the protective lm from the double-sided
adhesive strip and apply the plate on the helmet. Press
quickly on the plate to attach the strip rmly.
After application, it is a good idea to let the 3M adhesive
act on the helmet for 12 hours before using the helmet.
Installation with the clip-on (removable) plate
Check the type of helmet you have and make sure that
the clip can be inserted between helmet shell and cheek-
pad. Otherwise, use the adhesive plate.
Take the clip-on plate, loosen the two screws and remove
the rear section.
