P RO D U C T O V E R V I E W Product overview The TILSBERK HUD shows you information directly in front of the eye during the ride. The TILSBERK HUD can be individually configured and display information such as speed, navigation and a compass.
TILSBERK HUD consists of two main components: the helmet adapter, which is installed in your motorbike helmet, and the TILSBERK HUD module, which is affixed to the helmet adapter via a magnetic connection. The narrow outer side of the TILSBERK HUD module features a USB-C charging socket that is used to charge the TILSBERK HUD module.
The TILSBERK HUD app also sends phone data to the TILSBERK HUD module so that the battery level of your smartphone and incoming calls can also be displayed. Once you have set up the TILSBERK HUD app for the first time, you can use the settings to configure the displays, favorite destinations and route setting.
TILSBERK HUD to malfunction. Malfunctions can be irritating while riding and may lead to accidents. • Keep TILSBERK HUD away from liquids and high temperatures. • Do not operate the TILSBERK HUD if it has been exposed to liquids or high temperatures. Risk of injury in case of defective battery! WARNING The installed lithium-ion polymer battery cannot be replaced.

Moisture or high temperatures (over 120 °F) can cause the TILSBERK HUD to malfunction. • Keep TILSBERK HUD away from liquids and high temperatures. • Do not operate the TILSBERK HUD if it has been exposed to liquids or high temperatures.
2.2 Limits of the system Despite its technical precision, it is not possible to guarantee full functionality in all situations. Think about the following system limits before starting your ride to ensure that the TILSBERK HUD is fully functional. Unstable or unavailable Internet connection!
I N - H E L M E T I N STA L L AT I O N In-helmet installation Preparing the installation Before your TILSBERK HUD can guide you to your destination, you have to install it in your helmet. The following sections will help you prepare for installation and choose the right mounting type for your helmet.
