Glue the Audio Kit onto your helmet when the standard Back 

Plate method cannot be used. Choose which of the2 glue plates 

is most suitable for your helmet.
While we have no reason to believe that the gluing option 

might negatively affect any helmet, Cardo does not assume 

any responsibility, irrespective of its nature and circumstances. 

The Glue Plate is offered as an option that you may use at your own risk and subject to renouncement of any 

future claims.

the lining between the helmet’s inner padding.

place

. Attach the Microphone to the Velcro pad. 

Adjust 

the location so that the 

microphone 

is located opposite 

the 

center of your mouth.

PLACING THE  SPEAKERS

For best clarity, place speakers directly opposite 

and close to the ears. Helmets with deep recesses 

may require padding to bring the speakers closer 

for ideal positioning. Optional speaker booster 

pads are provided for this purpose. 

 

To use, place the speaker booster pad between the 

Velcro pad in the helmet cavity and the speaker.

Attach Velcro pads to inside of Helmet.

Cross the long speaker wire over the center of 

the helmet to enhance FM radio reception.

Using two speakers inside the helmet may be 

prohibited in certain jurisdictions. If this is the case, 

position both speakers on one side of the helmet.
