2. If Bluetooth connection between the headset and a media player is disconnected, press the Jog Dial for 1 second to recover the Bluetooth connection and play.

Bluetooth GPS Navigation Pairing

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 SMH5-FM 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.

Note:

1. Both you and your intercom friend can remotely control music playback during music sharing such as track forward and track back.
2. When you have an incoming call, make a phone call, or hear the turnby-turn voice instruction of GPS during music sharing, the function will be paused.
3. In order to share music, make sure that you update both headsets with the firmware that has the music sharing feature, and enable the EDR setting in the Sena Device Manager.

Reset to Factory Default Settings

1. To restore the SMH5-FM to factory default settings, press and hold the Phone Button for 12 seconds until the LED shows solid red and you hear high tone double beeps. You will also hear a voice prompt saying "Factory reset".
2. Within 5 seconds, press the Jog Dial to confirm reset. The headset will be restored to factory setting and switched off automatically. You will hear a voice prompt saying "Headset reset, good-bye".
3. If you don't press the Jog Dial within 5 seconds, the reset attempt is canceled and the headset returns to stand-by mode. You will hear a voice prompt saying, "Canceled".

Fault Reset

When the SMH5-FM is not working properly or is in faulty status for any reason, you may reset by pushing the pin-hole reset button at the back of the headset main unit. Insert a paper clip into the reset pin-hole and press the reset button for a second with light pressure. The SMH5-FM will be switched off after which time, you have to turn the system back on and try again. However, this will not restore the headset to factory default settings.

UNIVERSAL INTERCOM

You can have an intercom conversation with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets using the Universal Intercom function. Non-Sena Bluetooth headsets can be connected to the Sena Bluetooth headset if they support the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP). The working distance may differ depending on the performance of Bluetooth headset that it is connected to. In general, it is shorter than normal intercom distance since it uses the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile.

Universal Intercom Pairing

The SMH5-FM can be paired with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets for Bluetooth intercom conversation. You can pair the SMH5-FM with only one non-Sena Bluetooth headset; if you pair with a different non-Sena Bluetooth headset, the previous pairing list will be removed.

1. Turn on the SMH5-FM and a non-Sena Bluetooth headset which you want to pair with.
2. Press and hold the Jog Dial on the SMH5-FM for 8 seconds until the blue LED flashes rapidly. You will hear a voice prompt saying "Universal intercom pairing".
3. Perform the operation required for handsfree pairing on the nonSena Bluetooth headset (refer to the users' manual of the headsets you want to use). The SMH5-FM will automatically perform pairing with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets in pairing mode.

Two-way Universal Intercom

You can initiate the Universal Intercom connection with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets using the same intercom connection method as you would between other Sena headsets. You may single tap the Jog Dial to begin an intercom conversation with teh first intercom friend, double tap with the second intercom friend, and triple tap with the third intercom friend.
Non-Sena Bluetooth headsets may initiate the Universal Intercom connection, activating the voice dialing or using the redialing operation. You may also disconnect the existing connection by ending a call operation function (refer to the users' manual of the headsets for voice dialing, redialing, and ending a call).
