Welcome
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a

®
system has
been specifically designed to receive calls safely and
easily while travelling on your scooter or motorcycle.
The Twiins
®
D1 VA system is compatible with all
Bluetooth
®
devices that transmit audio (mobile
phones, smartphones, GPS navigators and other
devices) using the profiles specified in the manual.
This device is designed so that it may be wholly
integrated into your helmet. It can be operated and
paired easely through a single control button (1b).
A single red/blue LED indicator (1a) serves to display
connection status, pairing, battery charging and low

Charging the Twiins
®
D1 VA
Before using your Twiins
®
D1 VA device for the first time,
you must charge the device completely.
Connect the terminal (3) to the provided USB cable (5)
and then connect the cable to a USB charging port.
While charging, the red LED light will switch on (1a) and
it will switch off once charging has been completed.
NOTE
: Don’t pull on the cable to disconnect it from the
USB port
NOTE
: As time goes by, batteries gradually lose their
charge. This is why it’s important to charge the battery
fully before using the device and allow the battery to
use almost all of it’s charge in between charging cycles.
WARNING:
If you plan to store your Twiins
®
device
for a long period of time, be sure to recharge it at
least once every six months to ensure perfect battery
function.
Installation
The Twiins
®
D1 VA is very easy to install into a helmet.
Remove the side padding from the inside of the helmet
(if it can be removed) and place the device (2) at the
height of your ear. The device is designed to be placed
on the left side, as shown in figure 1. In order to affix the
speaker, a Velcro pad is provided (male and female) with
an adhesive backing (7). In case you need to use the
Velcro, stick the male part of the pad onto the device
and the female part onto the inside of the helmet.
Depending on the internal configuration of each type of
helmet, it may be necessary to use the entire Velcro pad
or only a part of it (see figure 2). In some cases, it may
only be necessary to stick the male part onto the device
as the inside of the helmet may have padding that can
serve as Velcro (female).
If needed, comfort pads (6) to place on the headphones
are also provided, in order to improve comfort against
your skin.
The charging cable (3) must be placed on the lateral-
back section of the helmet so as to facilitate access to
charge the device.
Place the microphone (1) on the front section of the
helmet (close to and oriented towards your mouth,
always protecting the microphone with the padding).
Linking/Pairing
To use the Twiins
®
D1 VA, it’s necessary to pair it to
the Bluetooth
®
device you wish to connect it to (mobile
phone, GPS navigator). While the device is switched off,
hold the control button (1b) until the LED indicator (1a)
begins flashing in Red and Blue. The mobile phone or
GPS navigator will find the device under the name D1
VA. Select the D1 VA device and, if necessary, enter the
access code: 0000.
NOTE

completed once. When the Twiins
®
D1 VA is paired to a
specific device, both devices will connect automatically
when switched off and on.
