Connecting your N-Com B902 communication system to your Garmin Zumo XT GPS for audio in your helmet is straightforward. Here's a guide:
-
Preparation: Ensure both your N-Com B902 and Garmin Zumo XT are powered on and in pairing mode. Consult your N-Com B902 user manual, specifically the section on GPS pairing, for device-specific instructions on entering pairing mode.
-
Pairing: Follow the manual's instructions to pair the N-Com B902 with your Garmin Zumo XT. The manual will guide you through the process.
-
Connection: Once paired, the devices should automatically connect when you power on the N-Com B902.
-
Audio Settings (Zumo XT): It's recommended to disable the AUDIO PUSHBUTTONS on your Garmin Zumo XT. If enabled, the Zumo XT will send audio feedback for every command, potentially interrupting music or intercom. Turning this off ensures a smoother audio experience.
-
Helmet Audio: After successful pairing and connection, you'll receive audio signals from your Garmin Zumo XT in your helmet.
-
Firmware Updates: For optimal performance, update the firmware on both your Garmin Zumo XT and N-Com B902 to their latest versions.
Additional Tips:
-
Mobile Phone: When using your mobile phone with the N-Com B902, pair it as the MAIN DEVICE according to the user manual. Avoid pairing your phone directly with the Garmin Zumo XT. Incoming calls might interrupt navigator audio, but Android users can use the Audio Multitasking feature (refer to the N-Com manual) to maintain GPS directions during calls.
-
Music: You can listen to music from either your Garmin Zumo XT or your phone through the N-Com B902. GPS directions will temporarily pause the music. If you're listening to music from your phone, and need continuous navigation, enable Audio Multitasking (Android) as explained in the N-Com system's user manual.
-
Intercom Use: If you're using the N-Com B902 in intercom mode, you won't hear GPS audio. However, you can share music with your passenger using the Music Sharing feature (A2DP Sharing). GPS prompts will pause the music and temporarily suspend intercom communication.
For comprehensive information, always refer to the user manuals for both your N-Com B902 and Garmin Zumo XT.
