Connecting your N-Com B902 communication system to your Garmin Zumo XT GPS navigator allows you to hear navigation instructions directly in your helmet. Here’s how:
- Preparation: Ensure both your N-Com B902 and Garmin Zumo XT are powered on and in pairing mode. Consult the user manuals for both devices to understand how to initiate pairing mode specifically for each product.
- Pairing Process: Refer to the N-Com B902 user manual, particularly the section dedicated to GPS pairing. Follow the manual's instructions to pair the N-Com B902 with the Garmin Zumo XT. This usually involves selecting the GPS device in the N-Com B902's pairing menu.
- Automatic Connection: After successful pairing, the devices should automatically connect each time you power on the N-Com B902.
- Optimal Settings for Garmin Zumo XT: It's advisable to disable the 'AUDIO PUSHBUTTONS' feature on your Garmin Zumo XT. If enabled, each command from the Zumo XT will send an audio feedback signal, which may briefly interrupt music or intercom communication on your N-Com system.
- Audio Reception: Once paired and connected, you'll hear the Garmin Zumo XT's audio signals, such as navigation prompts, in your helmet.
- Firmware Updates: For the best performance, keep both your Garmin Zumo XT and N-Com B902 firmware up to date.
Additional Tips:
- Mobile Phone Use: If you plan to use your mobile phone with your N-Com B902, pair it as the primary device as instructed in the user manual. Avoid pairing your phone directly with the Garmin Zumo XT.
- Audio Multitasking (Android): To maintain GPS directions while on a phone call, enable the Audio Multitasking feature on your Android phone, as described in the N-Com system’s manual.
- Music Playback: You can listen to music from your Garmin Zumo XT or your phone through the N-Com B902. During GPS instructions, the music will pause temporarily. Use the Audio Multitasking feature on your Android phone to ensure continuous navigation audio during music playback.
- Intercom Use: When using the N-Com B902 in intercom mode with another helmet, you won’t hear the navigator's audio. However, you can share music from your phone with your passenger using the Music Sharing (A2DP Sharing) function. GPS instructions will pause the music and temporarily suspend the intercom connection. For more specific, detailed information, consult the respective user manuals.
