Well!! where to start?? It eventually arrived and of course I took it into the kitchen to unpack and unwrap it, the packaging was very poor allowing it to rattle around in the box with just a single piece of bubble wrap to stop it, so not impressed, and expecting the units to be damaged, luckily however they were not, on removing the contents from the box all I had was a chocolate box layer affair with the actual units in the blow moulded tray, and all the gubbins, such as wires, sticky pads, microphones and spongy bits in 2 compartments underneath.
After opening the box and identifying each part, I took the two usb cables and plugged the head sets into the power point on my computer, a very LONG 2'5 hours later they were charged.
Right, having messed around for ages trying to remove my Autocom stuff from different helmets, I started to get the Sena stuff together, on my full face Arai I went for the wire no boom option, this was an easy option as threading the wires through the helmet lining was a doddle, and the supplied velcro was easy to fit in front of the mouth piece,
having established the 2 grub screws that hold the unit to the helmet did not need the extra rubber packing provided, I then set about positioning the unit so I can reach it without having to bend my arm back to much and so the microphone is the right distance away, not a problem when using the wire mic, but could be if using the boom mic's, once positioned and tightened down put the liner back in and made sure everything was comfortable, it also took the edge of the fixing bracket away from where my ear rubbed when taking the helmet off or putting it on.
Anyway, sitting down and getting overwhelmed by the instruction book!! might I make a suggestion, take just one thing /page at a time, there's no rush and a "steady away" attitude will get more done in the long run, right turning on, easy as pie just press and hold the jog and phone buttons together.
I'm not going through every item, yeah thank fek fer that I hear you all cheer!! but just going back and doing every step as it says in the book, literally word for word seems to solve most of the problems, such as failing to recognise things ETC, also once you've say, matched your phone, and want to pair something else, I made sure the product I had just paired was turned off, and didn't interfere with the new item I want to pair, I've a long way to go, matching more than one unit, and changing channels on the radio without cancelling everything else for one, As I said steady away and refer to the instructions and things shouldn't go far wrong!!
I'm really happy with how clear and LOUD the head sets are, a real step up from Autocom in my opinion, good luck with your fitting and sorting out of the different programmes!!
