Powering On and Off

Headset

To power on the headset, press the (+) Button and the (−) Button at the same time while hearing ascending beeps and a voice prompt, “Hello”. To power off the headset, press the (+) Button and the (−) Button at the same time while hearing descending beeps and a voice prompt, “Goodbye”.

Handlebar Remote

To power on the device, tap the Front Button and the blue LED will appear. To power off the device, press and hold the Front Button and the Joystick for two seconds until the red LED blinks.

You can charge the headset and the Handlebar Remote by connecting the supplied USB power & data cable into a computer’s USB port or USB wall charger. You can use any standard micro USB cable to charge the units. The charging LEDs turn red while they are charging and turn blue when they are fully charged. It takes about 2.5 hours to be completely charged.

WARNING
When charging the battery, use only the approved charger provided by the manufacturer. Use of a non-approved charger may cause fire, explosion, leakage, and other hazards which may also reduce the life time or performance of the battery.

Note:
Any 3rd party USB charger can be used with Sena products if the charger is approved by either the FCC, CE, IC or other locally approved agencies that Sena accepts.

CAUTION:
Please make sure to take off your 10U-installed helmet while charging. The headset automatically turns off during charging.

Checking the Battery Level

LED Indicator

When the headset or the Handlebar Remote is powering on, their red LED flashes rapidly indicating the battery level.

4 flashes = High, 70~100%
3 flashes = Medium, 30~70%
2 flashes = Low, 0~30%

Voice Prompt Indicator

When you power on the headset, keep pressing the (+) Button and the (−) Button simultaneously for about 3 seconds until you hear three, high toned beeps. Then you will hear a voice prompt indicating the battery level. However, if you release the buttons as soon as the headset turns on, you will not hear the voice prompt for the battery level indication.

Note:
1. The battery performance may be reduced over time with usage.
2. Battery life may vary depending on conditions, environmental factors, functions of the product in use, and devices used with it.

You can easily adjust the volume by moving the Joystick up or down. You will hear a beep when the volume reaches the maximum or minimum level. The volume is set and maintained independently at different levels for each audio source even when you reboot the headset. For example, once you set the volume for mobile phone handsfree, it will not change even if you adjust the volume for your Bluetooth MP3 music. However, if you adjust the volume during stand-by mode, it will affect volume levels of every audio source.

WARNING
Use of the product at a high volume for a long period of time may damage your eardrums or hearing ability. Keep the volume at a modest level to prevent damage.

Currently the Sena 10U System is available in 4 different models:

Shoei GT-Air, Neotec and J-Cruise
Arai full-face helmets

With more to come in the future.

These available versions of the 10U will only fit in these specific helmets as they were designed specifically for them.

Note:
1. If you have two phones connected to your headset and you have an incoming call from the second phone during a call involving the first phone, then you may still receive the call from the second phone. In this case, the call from the first phone is on waiting mode. If you end a call, then it will automatically transfer you to the first phone call.
2. If you have a mobile phone and a GPS connected to your headset, you may not be able to listen to the GPS voice instruction during the phone call.

The Bluetooth audio device must be paired with the 10U. The 10U supports the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP), so if your Bluetooth audio device also supports the AVRCP, you can use the 10U to remotely control music playback. Not only can you adjust the volume but you can also use functions such as play, pause, next track and previous track.

1. To play or pause music, press the Joystick for 1 second until you hear a double beep.

2. To adjust the volume, move the Joystick up or down

3. To track forward or track back, move and hold the Joystick for 1 second left or right.

You can start sharing music with an intercom friend using Bluetooth stereo music during a two-way intercom conversation. When you terminate music sharing, you can go
back to the intercom conversation. To start or terminate sharing music, press the Joystick for 1 second during an intercom conversation until you hear a double beep. To track forward or track back, move the Joystick left or right for 1 second.

Pairing with other 10U Headsets for Intercom Conversation

The 10U can be paired with up to three other headsets for Bluetooth intercom conversation.

1. Turn on the two 10U headsets (A and B) that you would like to pair with each other.

2. Press and hold the Front Button of the headset A and B for 5 seconds until red LEDs of both units start to flash rapidly. You will hear a voice prompt, “Intercom pairing”.

3. Tap the Front Button on any one of the two headsets A and B, and wait unit the LEDs of both headsets turn to blue and intercom connection is automatically established. The two 10U headsets A and B are paired with each other for intercom conversation. If the pairing process is not completed within one minute, the 10U will return to stand-by mode.

4. You can make other pairing between headsets A and C, and between headsets A and D by following the same procedure as above.

5. The intercom pairing queue is ‘Last-Come, First-Served’. If a headset has multiple paired headsets for intercom conversations, the last paired headset is set as first intercom friend. The previous intercom friend becomes second intercom friend, and third intercom friend.

Note:
For example, after the pairing procedures listed above, headset D is the first intercom friend of headset A. Headset C is the second intercom friend of headset A, and headset B is the third intercom friend of headset A.

Starting Two-way Intercom

You can start an intercom conversation with one of any intercom friends by tapping the Front Button: Tap the Front Button once to intercom with the first intercom friend, tap the Front Button twice to intercom with the second intercom friend, and tap the Front Button three times to intercom with the third intercom friend.

Starting Three-way Intercom

You (A) can have a three-way conference intercom with two other 10U friends (B & C) by establishing two intercom connections simultaneously. While a three-way conference intercom is in progress, mobile phone connection of all three participants is temporarily disconnected. However, as soon as the conference intercom terminates or one of the participants leaves the intercom, all mobile phones automatically reconnect to their headsets. If you have an incoming mobile phone call during the conference intercom, terminate the conference intercom to automatically reconnect and receive the phone call.

1. You (A) need to be paired with two other friends (B & C) for three-way conference intercom.

2. Start an intercom conversation with one of the two friends in your intercom group. For example, you (A) may start an intercom conversation with the intercom friend (B). Or intercom friend (B) may start an intercom call with you (A).
