Welcome to BMW
We congratulate you on your
choice of a BMW wireless com-
munication system.
The BMW WCS-1 communica-
tion system enables wireless
communication between two
helmets and between the hel-
mets and other Bluetooth
devices.
The BMW WCS-1 communica-
tion system takes motorcycling
into new dimensions.
Familiarise yourself with your
new BMW WCS-1 communica-
tion system before you use it
for the first time, so that you will
be able to use it safely and con-
fidently in all traffic situations.
Your authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer will be glad to as-
sist you in all matters relating
to your BMW motorcycle and
accessories.
In the interests of your own
safety, please read though
these operating instructions
and make sure you understand
everything, particularly the
safety instructions.
We hope you enjoy using your
BMW WCS-1 communication
system and wish you many a
pleasant, safe journey on your
BMW motorcycle.
Best wishes,
BMW Motorrad
