Pairing to a GMRS radio with integrated Bluetooth

If your GMRS transceiver has integrated Bluetooth, pair the transceiver using the

“Volume +” button:

› Turn off the unit�

› Press and hold down the “Middle” about 7 seconds, until the Red LED light is on permanently�

› Press the “Volume +” button for 3 seconds� The Blue and Red LED lights will flash�

› Follow the pairing procedure explained in the manual of the transceiver�

Attention: The GMRS audio connection can be set to “Stand by” simply by pushing the

“Forward” button on the BTX2FM in “Phone” mode.

Attention: The “Background” feature must be active if you want to keep the two way radio communication connected with the intercom.

Using the wired audio input

Your Midland BTX2FM is also supplied with a wired audio input (AUX) that can be used to connect an audio source like an iPod (or any other MP3 Player) or a GMRS transceiver for group communication or to increase range�

Listening to music

To listen to music from the wired input (AUX), connect the audio source using the optional AUX cable� The volume buttons cannot be used to adjust the volume of the wired audio source� The AGC system will automatically increase the volume when the motorcycle is at high speeds�

Enabling/disabling the wired input

If needed, the wired input (AUX) can be enabled or disabled:

Long press (3 seconds) the “Back” button� You will hear one beep to enable wired input and two beeps to disable�

Using a GMRS transceiver with the AUX connection

In order to connect the transceiver to your Midland BTX2FM, you must purchase the specific 2�5mm plug AUX cable, sold separately�

Some manufacturer radios use a different pin configuration, so ask your dealer which cable is best suited to your needs�

The cable connected to the transceiver normally also has a PTT button that can be placed on the handlebar of your bike or held in your hand (if you are the passenger)�

To communicate via the attached radio, press the PTT button to speak and release it to listen� It is not possible to talk and listen simultaneously�

Adjust the volume of the transceiver to your needs, remembering that the volume adjustment is controlled by the AGC system and that it will be automatically increased in relation to background noise�

If using a GMRS transceiver for group communications and simultaneously maintaining the Intercom feature enabled between two or more BTX2FM devices, every time you talk to communicate with the GMRS transceiver (pressing the PTT button), you will also activate the intercom of the BTX2FM to the unit connected to the

“Middle” button (thanks to the VOX feature)�

To avoid Intercom activation when you speak on the GMRS transceiver, you can pair the BTX2FM unit on the “Back” or “Forward” button (where VOX is not active) or if you still want to use the “Middle” button, disable the VOX feature as explained on page10�

Attention: If you disable the VOX feature, you will only be able to answer incoming phone calls by pressing the “Forward” button.
