The system will not function (nor can you hear music through the helmet headsets) with the ignition “off” (though the radio may still work through the fairing speakers). Requirement • The ComSystem will function properly only if the rider and passenger are wearing

• The intercom will mute the music from all audio sources when VOX is engaged, and return the music 3.5 seconds after the last VOX input is received.
