Additional information

Using the earpieces

Make sure the earpieces are still firmly inserted. Using the cable clip, you can attach the headset to the chin strap of your riding helmet. WHIS accepts any earpiece with a 3.5 mm jack using the CTIA standard (generally, all mobile phone headsets). Sound quality depends on the earpieces used.

Listen-only mode

Connect the microphone and earpiece to the top of the device; it does not matter which device you connect either one to. Use only the WHIS earpiece and microphone provided.

Recharge the device

1. Use only the original charger.
2. Choose the plug suitable for the sockets in your country and attach it firmly (click system).
3. Switch off the WHIS device during charging.
4. Connect the charger to the charging port at the bottom of the device, under the rubber cap. During charging, an indicator light comes on at the top of the device.
5. When the battery is fully charged (after 3 to 4 hours), the indicator light goes out. Then unplug the charger from the socket.

Possible problems

Warranty

WHIS offers a 2-year warranty on the device, starting on the day the new, unused product is purchased by the first buyer. Keep your proof of purchase as proof of warranty. Wear of sensitive parts, such as cables and earphones, is not covered.

The following are excluded from the warranty:

• damage caused by wear and pulling;
• damage caused by modifications made by a third party;
• damage caused by rough use.

The warranty ends if the device is opened or repaired by anyone not authorized by WHIS. The statutory warranty of the country of purchase applies.
