Sound Ryder Free Wheelin User manual

USER GUIDE

FreeWheelin is the world’s most advanced stereo audio system worn on helmets

by cyclists, skiers, skaters, construction workers, equestrians and more. It also functions as

a high quality speakerphone for vehicle or desktop. Freedom to use your Bluetooth

speakers on helmets, in the car, or in the office is really what Bluetooth freedom —

or FreeWheelin — is all about!

• Installs easily on most recreational and safety helmets (Fits youth and adult-sized open face

half helmets including highly vented helmets — does not t full-face helmets)

• Works with any portable audio source including iPod, iPhone, smartphones, and MP3 players

— any device with a 3.5mm speaker/headphone port or Bluetooth compatibility

• Makes and receives phone calls while in Bluetooth mode using any iPhone or Bluetooth

enabled smartphone

• Safe and legal — unlike ear buds, FreeWheelin does not insert or cover the ears — ambient

sounds (car horns, sirens, etc.) may still be heard

• Lightweight amplier delivers powerful sound through dynamic miniature stereo speakers

• Control your music or receive phone calls using easy access buttons

• Dual mode — wired (cable) or wireless (Bluetooth)

• Rechargeable 450mAh lithium polymer battery provides up to 15 hrs. music or 10 hrs.

talk time

• Durable water resistant construction (not water proof)

• Bonus feature — unique visor clip accessory converts FreeWheelin into hands-free speaker-

phone for vehicle or desktop

INSTALLING FREEWHEELIN TO HELMET

1) Locate 3 pieces of Dual Lock to be applied

to helmet exterior

2) Locate installation point for the

FreeWheelin amp along rear of the helmet

3) Apply 1” square Dual Lock at this location

and press rmly for 20-30 seconds. Do not

apply Dual Lock to the Styrofoam portion

of the helmet

4) For helmets with a pointed back — use

amp Dual Lock adapter (included)

5) Locate left/right ear level installation points

for placement of FreeWheelin speaker pods

6) Apply ½" x 2" Dual Lock strips along left/

right locations and press for 20-30 seconds

7) Position FreeWheelin amp over Dual Lock

at rear helmet location and press on

8) Position FreeWheelin speaker pods over

Dual Lock along left/right sides and press on

Installation Notes: The amp adapter (Dual Lock with rubber square) provides a at area for attaching the amp on

helmets with pointed backs. Be sure area is completely dry and clean of all dirt, oil, etc. before installing Dual Lock.

To allow proper bond strength for Dual Lock adhesive, do not remove FreeWheelin amp/speaker pods for 24-48 hours

when rst applied to the helmet. Removing FreeWheelin components sooner may result in Dual Lock strips coming loose.

The amp doesn’t require a large contact area, so if the Dual Lock is only partially making at contact, you will nd it is

still secure.
