If you have the Clamp that is designed for Earmoulds be careful of the little plug that comes out of it that they connect to, they have a tendency to break.
I'm on my second one, this time I bought one locally so I can make a warranty claim if I need to

Heard that about the earbud stalk.......solved by buying the SMH-A0306 headset, has options for both helmet speakers and Earmoulds without the stalk option.

You can't use the interphone with external speakers / earmoulds etc. Only has audio input not output.

I find the sena works quite ok with windscreen down and the shark evoline flipped up, when on the CB or just headset to headset. When listening to someone on an ST13 it is noticeable when the screen is lower and flip helmet up, as there seems a lot of wind noise.

ST2UP · « **Reply #84 on:** February 27, 2014, 09:33:10 PM »

So for a wind noise reduction are users getting better results form the Microphone foam, cap or both fitted ?

saaz · « **Reply #85 on:** February 27, 2014, 09:41:29 PM »

I haven't played around much, just use the foam cap. Just depends on your helmet and windscreen setup. I have only used mine on a non-ST, but the foam cap was enough using the autocomm with a flip helmet on the ST11.

Brock · « **Reply #86 on:** February 27, 2014, 10:17:02 PM »

I use the cap and foam, nobody has made mention of any wind noise. Mind you, I havent tried talking with visor and chin bar up.

Turtle · « **Reply #87 on:** February 27, 2014, 10:20:24 PM »

Oh well means another group ride to test the update
Northcliffe again

Upgraded to V5.0, suggest that you leave the side tone off. When the SR10 conveys its information, it opens the sidetone, so you get a little wind and engine noise fed to the ears untill it shuts down.

Suggestions for SR10, set wait for more talk to 3 secs not 5

SMH10 dont turn on vox intercom, as when used with sidetone on, you are fed outside noise. Especially not good when using earbuds

Turtle · « **Reply #89 on:** February 28, 2014, 06:21:51 PM »

I have done mine also :) thanks Brock for settings

I found out the hard way, road from Kinross to Jandakot with engine and wind whistling in my ears. Sorta defeated the purpose of ear plugs....

saaz · « **Reply #91 on:** March 01, 2014, 11:36:14 AM »

Yes, agree with this. Just tried it out this morning and the sidetone stays on too long, as is too loud. Unless I can tone it down a bit, it will go off. The sidetone also comes on whenever there is a CB transmission, so it picks up any noise and puts it straight into your ears.

So Sena guru's here is a problem to help solve.....

Setup:

SMH10
SR10 (hard wired to ignition pwr via its cig plug)
Uniden 078 Handheld
IPhone 4 (music from this)

Everything works as it should, Phone is brilliant, Music & Music sharing is fine, Intercom great

Now comes the issue as soon as I transmit on the UHF or any signal is received by the UHF (which are both clear) the music doesn't return.....and there is a rhythmic beep in the headset. The phone is still connected and working as it should as a phone just not music.....

Connection is currently Phone B/T to SMH10 (rider) then sharing to pillion and SR10 BT to SMH10 (rider)....

If I connect Phone B/T to SR10 along with wired UHF the functions of UHF & phone work fine BUT no music at ALL........and before you iPhone bash.....does the same with Pockey's Samsung S4.

So it has to be a B/T issue of connection/disconnection but bizarre that it dumps music (still showing as playing) but phone parts still connected and working as a phone.

Brock · « **Reply #93 on:** March 08, 2014, 10:04:44 AM »

will give it a try later and see

Turtle · « **Reply #94 on:** March 08, 2014, 10:07:38 AM »

Chris I find if I don't start phone connection first then sr10 I can't get music to play with my iPhone only UHF will come on

Seams I have found my problem

discovered by a process of elimination a multiple tantrums

The entire system works just how it should when I remove the charger for the Handheld......so there is an earth issue there somewhere, so a beer and a multimeter are off to the shed.....

tj189 · « **Reply #96 on:** March 08, 2014, 03:34:22 PM »

I have found with the attempted charging and using the UHF that it has created issues similar to yours. My fix was to not use the UHF whilst it was charging. If you come up with another solution I will be very interested

Abe · « **Reply #97 on:** March 08, 2014, 03:50:11 PM »

Could you have filtered power for the UHF charger???

, now over to the experts.

StinkyPete · « **Reply #98 on:** March 08, 2014, 05:07:11 PM »

The instructions for the Uniden 078 advise against transmitting while it is on charge. Page 6 of the User Manual (attached)
