Motor Talkie  Bluetooth Headset 

  There are not available yet as the initial  samples I received I tried and worked extremely well BUT  I advised would not last a week with the average Bikie  as they were not built strong enough  so they are re designing them !  when they will be available I dont know  Asian manufacturers seem to run on a  strange time/delivery system 
                                                 I am looking at an Alternative manufacturer whos product looks more robust than this 

This is a Bluetooth module/headset  that enables those who have Bluetooth function on their cell phone to use the cellphone wirelessly  and handsfree whilst riding their motor cycle ,The bluetooth module is  not waterproof is best kept within the pocket  of ones jacket ,or  if externally, in a small plastic bag to protect it from rain and showers . The unit has an operative time of about 7 Hours   with an average charge time of 2 hours approximately.The module is easy to use and is able to 'answer" calls and intitiate them , although the  Number called is restricted to the last Number that was dialled on the cell phone . Charging is via a mains powered plug pack and through the same female socket that the headset uses.

We are working on two options for this unit, one  a dedicated  K series headset connection  and Two,a  connection cable that enables one to plug it into the Motortalkie for use with bluetooth enabled phones that dont have any external earphone/microphone connection  such as the MOTOROLA RAZAR V3. 

 

Have Fun with your Bluetooth cellphone module ,Its use will open  a whole new aspect to the fun of motorcycle riding But remember when riding,  your No. 1   priority is motorcycle  safety . if in doubt pull over to the side of the road where it is safe if you have to do any adjustments  to this module , you can always ring them back later!   your phone will have remembered the Number !  TWO  seconds of inattention could mean that was the last phone call you will ever answer !!
