User Manual
The VERTIX™ Raptor series is a wireless 2.4GHz system designed for easy retrot on helmets. It allows you to
conveniently access audio entertainment, navigation information and communications when wearing your
helmet. The Raptor-i works with most mobile phones, GPS navigation devices and music players equipped with
Bluetooth® technology.
Your Raptor-i is designed with a high quality rubberized double injection molded outer membrane capable of
withstanding weather conditions you are accustomed to while riding or may encounter on longer journeys;
such as heavy rain, hot and cold temperatures. The Raptor-i is aerodynamically designed and when properly
installed will minimize turbulence and drag at high speeds, reducing disturbances and discomfort to the rider.
The Raptor-i comes with your choice of a boom or wired microphone headset with specially tuned speakers to
deliver high quality audio for your music and communications experience. With the Raptor-i's Cut-the-Noise™
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Automatic Gain Control (AGC) technologies, you are assured of communica-
tions quality which allows you to be heard clearly by the other party. Your Raptor-i will work through 20dB NRR
earplugs to ensure you can hear clearly while protecting your ears against very loud wind-noise levels at high
speeds. As the wind-noise level depends on the helmet design, type and brand, the maximum speed which you
can comfortably communicate will vary. As there are 4 dierent independent volume settings for the Raptor-i,
the volume settings will default to the 50% level everytime you Power ON the unit after a FULL Power OFF.
The Raptor-i’s controls are carefully researched, designed and tested for easy feel and operation with riding
gloves. To further improve ease of use, a handle mounted, ergonomically-designed remote control unit will
soon be available to complement your Remote-Ready Raptor-i.
