6. Follow the pairing procedure of your GPS. If a pin code is requested you must

enter “0000” (four times zero).

7. When successfully paired, the Blue light of the unit will be on for one second

and then the unit will exit the setup mode and switch to the working mode

(the Blue light will start ﬂashing).

When you pair the GPS to the Volume + button, you loose the possibility to pair

the phone to the BTX1 unit. You can overcome this limit by pairing the phone

directly to the GPS and then the GPS to the BTX1 unit. All the phone features are

therefore managed by the GPS itself.

GPS navigator always in background

To keep the intercom open while the GPS give the street indication you must have

the “background” feature active.

How to pair PMR446 transceiver with integrated Bluetooth

If your PMR446 trasceiver has an integrated Bluetooth (like the G8BT), you must

pair the trasceiver using the “Volume +“ button:

› Turn oﬀ the unit

› Press and hold down the “Middle” button about 7 sec., until the Red light is

on permanently.

› Now press ﬁrmly (3 sec) the “Volume +” button, the Blue and Red light will

ﬂash.

› Follow now the pairing procedure explained on the manual of the transceiver

itself

Attention: If you are pairing to a G8BT transceiver, just when the BTX1 ﬁnish the

pairing (only the Blu LED is ﬂashing) you must follow this procedure to activate the

Bluetooth connection:

› Turn oﬀ and on the G8BT and then press for 3 sec. the “BT” button.

› Follow the same procedure every time you need to reconnect the G8BT to the

BTX1 (no need to make the pairing procedure again)

Attention: remember to have the “background” feature active if you want to keep

the two way radio communication together with the intercom.

How to use the wired audio input

Your Midland BTX1 is also supplied with a wired audio input (AUX), that can

be used to connect an audio source, like an iPod (or any other MP3 Player) or a

PMR446 transceiver for group communication or for a coverage increase.

Listening to music

To listen to music from the wired input, connect the audio source using the op-

tional AUX cable.

The volume buttons (Vol + and Vol -) cannot be used to adjust the volume of the

wired audio source. The AGC system with automatically increase the volume on

higher speed.

Attention: never set the volume of the MP3 Player to the maximum possible. Nor-

mally the best level is about the 70% of the maximum.

Hint: We recommend that you perform a few tests adjusting the volume of your

iPod/MP3 player so at the normal speed the Headset volume is suited to your

needs. The AGC system will automatically increase the volume on higher speed.

Make a note to remember this setting for future trips.

Enabling/disabling the wired input

If needed the wired input can be enabled or disabled:

Enabling/Disabling: Make a Long press on the “Rear” button (you will hear one

audio beep tone for enabling conﬁrmation and two audio beep tone for disa-

bling).

Using a PMR446 transceiver with the cable connection

In order to connect the transceiver to your Midland BTX1, you need to purchase

the speciﬁc 2.5mm plug AUX cable, sold separately. S

ome manufacturers radios use a diﬀerent pin conﬁguration, so we recommend

that you ask your dealer as to which cable is best suited to your needs

The cable connected to the transceiver normally has also a PTT button that can

be placed on the handlebar of your bike or held in your hand (If you are the pas-

sanger rider).

To communicate via the attached radio, press the PTT button to speak and release

it to listen. It is not possible to talk and listen simultaneously.

Adjust the volume of the transceiver to your needs, remembering that the volume

adjustment is controlled by the automatic AGC system and that it will therefore

be automatically increased in relation to background noise.

If you wish to use a PMR446 transceiver for group communications and simulta-

neously maintain the Intercom feature enabled between two or more BTX1 devi-

ces, you must remember that every time you talk to communicate with the PMR

446 transceiver (pressing the PTT button), you will also activate the intercom of

the BTX1 to the unit connected to the “Middle” button (thanks to the VOX feature).

To avoid the Intercom activation when you speak on the PMR446, you can decide

to pair the BTX1 unit on the “Rear” or “Forward” (where the VOX is not active) or

if you still want to use the “Middle” button, you must disable the VOX feature, as

explained in the previous section.

Attention! If you disable the VOX feature, you will only be able to answer incoming

phone calls by pressing the “Forward” button.

Setup and special conﬁgurations

Resetting all paired devices

Sometimes you may ﬁnd it necessary to delete all the pairing references stored in

the BTX1 unit (reset operation).

To perform this operation you must ﬁrst enter the setup mode:

› Turn oﬀ the unit

› Press and hold down the “Middle” button about 7 sec., until the Red light is

on permanently.

› Than simultaneously press and hold down the “Volume +” and “Volume –“

buttons for 3 seconds. The Blue Light will be lit on for 1 sec and than back

to steady RED.

› Double click on the “Middle” button to exit the “Setup” mode and use the BTX1.

This procedure deletes all the paired Bluetooth devices stored in the memory and

it is therefore possible to start a new “clean” pairing session.

Back to factory setting

Sometimes you may ﬁnd it necessary to go back to the factory setting, to reset all

the changes/setup already made and have a “clean” unit.

To perform this operation you must ﬁrst enter the setup mode:

› Turn oﬀ the unit

› Press and hold down the “Middle” button about 7 sec., until the Red light is

on permanently.

› Than simultaneously press and hold down all the three buttons “Forward”-

“Middle”-“Rear” for 3 seconds. The Blue Light will be lit on for 1 sec and than

back to steady RED.

› Double click on the “Middle” button to exit the “Setup” mode and use the BTX1.

Adjusting/ Disabling the VOX feature (Intercom and telephone)

The Intercom feature can be enabled both manually and vocally (VOX). The VOX

activation is inﬂuenced by the background noise and therefore by the speed.

For optimum results, it is possible to choose one of the following four microphone

sensitivity levels: high, medium, low and very low. The default setting of BTX1 is

“low”. It is also possible to disable the VOX feature in order to activate the Inter-

com and phone call answering features in manual mode only.

Adjusting the sensitivity of the microphone (VOX)

To perform this operation you must ﬁrst enter the setup mode:

1. Turn oﬀ the unit

2. Press and hold down the “Middle” button about 7 sec., until the Red light is

on permanently.

3. Your BTX1 is now in “Set up mode”.

4. Press the “Rear” button until the red light indicator changes to a steady blue.

5. Now, press “Volume +” or “Volume -“ to increase or reduce sensitivity. Every

time you press the Volume buttons the RED light will ﬂash for conﬁrmation.

When you reach the end of the upper and lower limit, the RED light will not

ﬂash.

6. Press again the “Backward” button; the Blue light will ﬂash several times, in

order to let you know the selected sensitivity:

One ﬂash = VOX disabled

Twice = very low sensitivity

3 times= low sensitivity

4 times= medium sensitivity (default setting)

5 times = high sensitivity

The light indicator is now back to steady RED (“Set up mode”) and the

changes are conﬁrmed

7. If needed, you can adjust again the sensitivity repeating the steps from point

1, otherwise exit the Setting mode by double clicking the “Middle” button.

Once the red light turns oﬀ, the blue led starts blinking. Now you can use your

BTX1.

Disabling the VOX feature (Intercom and telephone)

Follow all the procedure described in the previous steps and choose the option of

only one ﬂash (VOX disabled).

Wired connection always in background

This feature let you keep the wired connection always on, even when the phone

or the intercom is open. This feature can be useful when you connect a PMR446

transceiver.

By default this option is on.

Disabling:

› Enter the “Setup” mode:

› Turn oﬀ the unit

› Press and hold down the “Middle” button about 7 sec., until the Red light is

on permanently.

› Press the “Forward” and “Middle” button together for 3 seconds. The blue LED

will ﬂash twice.

› Double click on the “Middle” button to exit the “Setup” mode and use the BTX1.

Enabling:

Follow the same procedure up described; now the blue LED will ﬂash once.

To exit the “Setup” mode, double click the “Middle” button.
