Frequently Asked Questions
Currently the Sena 10UPAD System is available in 2 different models:
HJC IS-17
HJC IS-MAX2
These available versions of the 10UPAD will only fit in these specific helmets as they were designed specifically for them.
Powering On and Off
To power on the headset, press the Center Button and the (+) Button at the same time while hearing ascending beeps and a voice prompt, “Hello”. To power off the headset, press the Center Button and the (+) Button at the same time while hearing descending beeps and a voice prompt, “Goodbye”.
Charging
You can charge the headset 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 unit. The charging LED turns red while charging and turns blue when 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 10Upad-installed helmet while charging. The headset automatically turns off during charging.
LED Indicator
When the headset is powering on, the red LED flashes rapidly indicating the battery level.
4 flashes = High, 70 ~ 100%
3 flashes = Medium, 30 ~ 70%
2 flashes = Low, 0 ~ 30%
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.
Voice Prompt Indicator
When you power on the headset, keep pressing the Center 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 a voice prompt for the battery level indication.
You can easily adjust the volume by tapping the (+) Button or the (-) Button. 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 standby 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.

Starting Two-way Intercom
You can start an intercom conversation with one of any intercom friends by tapping the Center Button. Tap the Center Button once to intercom with the first intercom friend, tap the Center Button twice to intercom with the second intercom friend, and tap the Center Button three times to intercom with the third intercom friend.
Ending Two-way Intercom
You can end an intercom conversation by using the Center Button. Press and hold the Center Button for 1 second to end any intercom. Or, you can single tap to end intercom with the first intercom friend, double tap to end intercom with the second intercom friend, and triple tap to end intercom with the third intercom friend.
You (A) can have a three-way conference intercom with two other 10Upad 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).
3. You (A) can call the second intercom friend (C) by double tapping the Center Button, or the second intercom friend (C) may join the intercom by making an intercom call to you (A).
4. Now you (A) and two 10Upad intercom friends (B & C) are having a three-way conference intercom.
Ending Three-way Intercom
You can completely terminate the conference intercom or just disconnect an intercom connection with one of your active intercom friends.
1. Press the Center Button for 1 second until you hear a beep to terminate three-way conference intercom completely. It terminates both intercom connections with (B) and (C).
2. Tap or double tap the Center Button to disconnect intercom connection with one of the two intercom friends accordingly. For example, by single tapping the Center Button, you can terminate
the intercom connection with just the first intercom friend (B). However, you still have the intercom connection with your second intercom friend (C).
Starting Four-way Intercom
You can have four-way conference intercom with three other 10Upad users by adding one more intercom participant to the three-way intercom. While you are having a three-way intercom, a new participant (D), who is an intercom friend of your intercom friend (C), may join the conference intercom by making an intercom call to your intercom friend (C). Please note that in this case, the new participant (D) is an intercom
friend of (C), not of you (A).
Ending Four-way Intercom
As is the case for a three-way intercom, you can completely get out of the four-way conference intercom or just disconnect a single intercom connection.
1. Press the Center Button for 1 second until you hear a beep to terminate a four-way conference intercom. It terminates the intercom connections between you (A), and your intercom friends
(B) and (C).
2. Tap or double tap the Center Button to disconnect the intercom connection with one of the two intercom friends accordingly. However, when you disconnect the second friend (C) by double
tapping the Center Button, you will be disconnected with the third participant (D) as well. This is because the third participant (D) is connected with you via the second friend (C).
Note:
Multiple headsets are connected during multi-way intercom. With various signals interfering each other, the intercom distance of multi-way intercom is somewhat shorter than that of two-way intercom.
