General considerations on priority

The Midland BT2 is a Bluetooth unit that can be paired with
other Bluetooth devices with different features: mobile phone,
GPS, MP3 player, etc...
Depending on the type of device, Midland BT2 assigns oper-
ating priorities; for example calls have a higher priority com-
pared to music. This means that if a call arrives whilst you are
listening to music, your music will automatically be interrupt-
ed so that you can answer the call. There are three priorities
available to meet the most common requirements.

2. Midland BT2 paired, "Rider &
Pillion"
› Rider to Pillion intercom feature
› Rider can connect the GPS sys-
tem and both Rider and Pillion
can connect/attach their own MP3
Players/Mobile phones etc to their
own headsets and still be able to
communicate with each other via
the Intercom.
› Wired connection for stereo music
player (iPod/MP3 player)
Devices with (high) priority 1
Because of their use, mobile phones and GPS Sat-Navs al-
ways have a higher priority compared to other connected de-
vices. Therefore, an incoming call or instruction from a GPS
always interrupts all other active communications. Devices
with priority 1 must be paired with the BT2 unit using the
"Phone" button.
Devices with (Medium) priority 2
This priority can be assigned only to another BT2 with Inter-
com feature. Enabling the Intercom feature disables all other
3. Midland BT2 Bike-to-bike; "Rid-
ers & pillions equipped with Mid-
land BT2 and PMR446 transceiv-
ers"
› Rider to Pillion intercom system
› Bluetooth connections for Rider
and Pillion depending on needs:
each connection is fit for mo-
bile phone, Rider's GPS system
and MP3 stereo player or mobile
phone with MP3 feature (to listen
to music)
› Wired connection for stereo music
player (iPod/MP3 player)
› Group communication ("bike to
bike"): it is possible to connect a
PMR446 transceiver to all motor-
bikes in order to communicate as a
group. The PMR446 transceiver can
be connected in Bluetooth or wired
mode to both the rider's or pillion's
unit. There is no limit to the number
of people who can communicate
whilst using PMR446 to communi-
cate whilst in a group.
