Recommendation:
• To fully benefit from this function, please take the time to first get acquainted with the
features of your mobile phone. Please note also that some models do not allow all the
advanced functions to be transferred to Lazer Blue.
Depending on the operating features and settings of the mobile phone, when you receive a call you may hear
the ring signal or the prompt PHONE CALL in the earphones.
Again depending on the operating features and settings of the mobile phone, the phone communication may
be opened automatically (“Automatic answer”) or you may need to press the multifunction key (A) on the
Lazer Blue unit once to accept the call.
To reject the call, you will need to press the multifunction key twice (but this functionality is not available with
all models of mobile phones).
To close a call you can either press the multifunction key twice or press and hold down the multifunction key
until you hear MENU, then release, listen to the prompts and press shortly as you hear CLOSE CALL.
Phone calls take priority over other connections (intercom connection / connection to music players), i.e. an
incoming call interrupts the conversation with other bikers and/or music listening. Connection is reinstated
when the phone call is closed.

Lazer Blue works with a Li-Pol battery, which allows for a typical talk time of 8 to 12 hours depending on the
functions in use (intercom + Bluetooth® connection: 8 hours; Bluetooth® connection only: 12 hours). When the
battery is close to flat, the unit sends a warning message (LOW BATTERY), which is repeated 3 times. Connect
the plug of the supplied battery-charger (F) into a main socket and the mini-USB connector to the filter (G) ;
connect the filter to the connector (B) situated below right of your helmet. A full cycle of recharge lasts
approximately 6 hours if the battery is totally flat. While charging, the small LED flashes slowly in green. If the
battery is totally flat, it may take a while before the LED starts to flash. When the recharge is complete the LED
turns off.
Recommendations:
• Do not recharge Lazer Blue with any other battery-charger than the supplied one.
• Do not operate the multifunction key (A) during the recharge!
• Do not charge your Lazer Blue without having first connected the filtre (G) between the
battery-charger (F) and the charger connector (B) to your helmet.

14. TECHNICAL DATA
- Lazer Blue complies with the requirements of the EU Directive 1999/5/EC (RTTE Directive) in terms of
electromagnetic compatibility, health and safety, use of the radiofrequency spectrum.
Moreover, since it works for extended periods of time close to the user’s head, Lazer Blue has been duly
submitted to SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing. This is an international standard (today recommended
although not mandatory for this type of equipment) that measures the human body’s absorption of energy
radiated by electronic equipments. The values that have been measured are extremely low, by far below the
admitted figures.
Additionally it has been tested and found to comply with the requirements for
Bluetooth®Qualification. This certification is mandatory for those manufacturers who want to
use the official Bluetooth® logo and trademark; it guarantees that a device meets the standards of Bluetooth®
wireless technology.
