Connecting a headset

We recommend using a headset with your TomTom Rider to hear spoken instructions, and hear warning sounds on your Rider. You can also use your headset for hands-free calling. This makes riding with your Rider as safe as possible. For more information and a full list of compatible headsets, go to Headset Compatibility.

Note: If you want to use hands-free calling, you must first connect a headset.

The instructions below describe how to connect a Bluetooth® headset:

1. Make sure your headset is fully charged using the charger supplied with your headset.
2. Switch on the the headset and make it discoverable by following the user instructions supplied with your headset.
3. From the Main Menu, select Settings.
4. Select Bluetooth Connections.

   

5. Select Headset, then select Search for Headset and follow the instructions to establish the connection.
6. Attach your headset to your helmet.

   Make sure you position the microphone correctly. For best results, don’t position the microphone directly in front of your mouth, position it just to the side of your mouth.
