About motorcycle headsets
We recommend using a headset with your TomTom Rider to hear spoken instructions, and to hear
warning sounds on your TomTom Rider. You can also use your headset for making and receiving calls
in conjunction with your phone. This makes riding with your TomTom Rider as safe as possible.
Important: It is illegal in most countries to use a hand-held phone while riding a motorbike. Not
only that, you can get yourself killed doing so, so please abide by the riding rules of your country
and use a legally approved hands-free system or headset.
Bluetooth channels
Some motorcycle headsets use Bluetooth. Bluetooth sends and receives radio waves in a band of 79
different frequencies or channels, and the number of channels per headset model varies.
A headset with more than one Bluetooth channel enables you to receive voice instructions, receive
phone calls, and get phone notifications.
For steps on how to connect a multi-channel headset to your TomTom Rider, see: Connecting a
multi-channel headset
If your headset only has one Bluetooth channel, you can pair it with either your TomTom Rider OR a
smartphone.
For steps on how to connect a single-channel headset to your TomTom Rider, see: Connecting a
single-channel headset
Tip: To see videos about connecting your headset to your Rider 500/550, see:
