Conditions for accessory connection
Radio connection (red colour coded cable and socket):
The radio connection of the AE 600 S fits to most of PMR with 2.5 mm / 3.5 mm plug combination such as ALAN 443,
ALAN 456R, HP 446, Midland G7 / G 12 or Albrecht Tectalk Pro. The universal duo plug (2.5 mm for microphone and
3.5 mm for the ear set) is being supported by many other radios. It is not intended to use the VOX-function because of
the high level of surrounding noise does not allow a perfect speech switching, which is essential for simplex 2 way radio
communication (different from duplex GSM use!). Some smaller size radios are using now more and more a 2.5 mm
stereo socket instead of a duo plug. For such radios you will need an additional adapter 29254, or you can use the
supplied GSM cable, because this cable will also fit to this kind of radios. You may use the GSM cable in that case (but
connected to the PMR socket). Of course this alternative solution is only possible if you should not need the GSM
connection at the same time.
PTT (Push - To - Talk switch): insert the green marked cable plug of the PTT into the green marked PTT socket.
MP-3/Music CD:
3.5 mm stereo plug (9). The radio is being switched off, when the cable is being inserted. Use the Headphone-Output of
the unit for this feature. The volume shall be adjusted by the volume control of the MP-3/Musik CD-Player.
Navigator voice announcements:
3.5 mm stereo plug. The radio volume is being turned lower, during announcements are coming from navigations
system. Please adjust the volume at the navigator!
GSM mobile phone:
The supplied blue coded cable provides universal hands-free connection via 2.5 mm stereo plug (like used by some
MOTOROLA phones). For many GSM telephone brands you can find suitable adapters in GSM phone accessory shops,
because the 2.5mm stereo plug has also been established as the quasi-standard for various hands-free kits.
The telephone has to be able to be programmed to „automatic call reception” and adjusted likewise.
If you do should not need GSM phone connection, the GSM cable can be used as well for connecting PMR radios with
2.5 mm stereo socket to the GSM plug (without any need of an optional adapter).
Hints for installation and connection
Fitting of helmet sets:
The two helmet sets consist of two flat padded ear sets to be inserted in the helmet, a microphone with a flexible thin
boom to be installed close to your mouth and a waterproof transmit talk button which can be fixed within reach of the
handle-bar or at your glove.
Supplied are two self-adhesive pads for fitting the earphones in the helmet and a velcro tape adjustable in length to
install the talk button. These adhesive pads do have an adhesive surface on one side (remove protective foil), on the
other side there is a velcro clasp so that ear sets can be easily installed or removed for adjustment or cleaning. Bikers
with only limited space to install the talk button i. e. on a metal plate at the handle bars may remove the velcro tape and
stick the talk button with adhesive pads directly to the desired location.
Please fix the ear sets with still a small gap between the ears and the helmet. Your ears should not be completely
covered by the ear set because then you might not be able to listen to the surrounding noise of traffic (due to Road
Traffic Act you may not use headsets that completely cover your ears because you might overhear honking or other
signals).
Please do not carry out any technical modifications at the helmet before installing the headset. The ECE standard for
motorbike helmets does not permit to flatten the material inside the helmet i. e. to make space for the ear set. Fix the
microphone so, that it is always close to your mouth with the supplied adhesive pad. Before fixing the adhesive pads
thoroughly clean the desired location (i.e. with alcohol, but do not use any solvent). Press tightly and remember that it
takes several hours until the final strength has been achieved.
You need the talk button only in case you want to operate an additional PMR radio or another Walkie Talkie. You do not
need the talk button for the basic intercom function between driver and passenger or radio/MP3. As long as only
Intercom is used, the cable sets plugs for PMR radio, the talk button and / or GSM phone cable do not need to be
inserted. This makes basic installation very simple- just plug in the 2 headphones, and that’s it!
Where to locate the central unit
The best place for location of the central unit is inside or close to the tank knap sack or in the outside-pocket of your
biker-suit. The headset cable leading to the driver simultaneously serve as the radio antenna (use the spiralled cable
only for pillion) . Lead the driver headset cable along your back under the biker-suit to get best results of the FM radio.
