Sena provides Cigarette Charger and optional DC Power Charger with USB power cable for charging SMH10. Also, any certified USB power charger from other manufacturers can be used to charge the SMH10.

The enclosed car charger can be used with 12V, 1A output without any problem because the charging circuit of the SMH10 accepts 5V~14V+ level. Thus, 5V converter for car charger is not required. However, do not use 24V automobile cigarette charging port to charge SMH10; doing so many damage SMH10.It is also OK to use the power cord from the enclosed AC system. The SMH10 will charge without any problem using PC USB port power, 5VDC @500 mA.

You can check the battery level in two different ways when the headset is powering on.

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%

You can easily adjust the volume by rotating the Jog Dial. You will hear a beep when the volume reaches maximum or minimum level. The volume is set and maintained independently at different levels for each audio source even when you turn off and on the headset. For example, once you set the volume for mobile phone handsfree, it will not change even if you adjust the volume when you hear Bluetooth MP3 music. So you can always maintain the preferred optimum volume level for each audio source.

You can listen to voice instruction from Bluetooth GPS navigation. Some GPS systems use mobile phone profile (HFP, Hands-Free Profile) and others use stereo music profile (A2DP, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). Most motorcycle specific GPS systems use mobile phone profile for turn-by-turn voice instruction. You can simultaneously use a mobile phone and a GPS which uses mobile phone profile by one of the following procedures.

Multipoint GPS Pairing

If you use GPS only for turn-by-turn voice instructions, not for Bluetooth stereo music streaming, multipoint pairing is recommended for the GPS connection. Multipoint Bluetooth pairing allows the SMH10 to connect two HFP devices at the same time: mobile phone and GPS navigation. Follow the steps below to pair the GPS using the multipoint pairing.

1. Turn on the headset and press the Jog Dial for 5 seconds until the red LED is rapidly flashing and you hear multiple beeps.

You (A) can have a three-way conference intercom with two other SMH10 friends (B & C) by establishing two intercom connections at the same time. While a three-way conference intercom is in progress, mobile phone connection of all three participants would be temporarily disconnected, but as soon as the conference intercom terminates or one of the participants leaves the intercom, all mobile phones would be automatically reconnected. During the conference intercom, if you have an incoming mobile phone call, terminate the conference intercom to automatically reconnect the mobile phone and receive the call.

1. You (A) need to be paired with two other friends (B & C) for threeway 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. The second intercom friend (C) may join the intercom by making an intercom call to you (A).
