StarCom1 - FAQs
Q.How does StarCom1 compare with the competition?
A.There are few systems available that have all the features of StarCom1, very few that have noise
cancelling that really works at high speed, and none that have both at a sensible price. You can’t
buy better-that’s our guarantee. StarCom1 Advance goes further where StarCom1 beats the comp-
petition, Advance has no equal.
Q.Can I use my mobile phone with StarCom1?
A.Yes, we have adaptors to suit all phones; you just need to specify the make and model of phone
when ordering, we can supply wire phone adaptors or a bluetooth adaptor.
Q.What is VOX?
A.VOX is a voice activated control system which can be used to control a two-way radios, to cause
it to transmit when you speak. it can also be used to mute the audio/music, enabling rider and pil-
lion to turn off the music while talking.
Q.Do I need a switch or VOX to talk rider0to-pillion?
A.No, StarCom1 is a full dual channel system, which means that rider and pillion can both talk nat-
urally and at the same time.
Q.What is PTT?
A.PTT is the push-to-talk switch used to control a two-way radio. It can be used instead of or with
the VOX system. The switch is normally mounted on the handlebars and thumb-operated.
Q.Can I use a navigation or radar system with StarCom1?
A.Yes, the navigation or radar needs to have audio out. We have cables to attach most systems.
Q.I wear earplugs but my passenger doesn’t. Does StarCom1 have a rider-pillion balance
control?
A.Yes, StarCom1 is designed with this in mind.
Q.I wear earplugs. Can I use StarCom1?
A.Yes, StarCom1 has a fully adjustable volume control and powerful amplifiers. In fact we recom-
mend that ear plugs are used to reduce the ambient noise.
Q.What is the warranty with StarCom?
A.We offer a full 12-month warranty on StarCom1 and accessories.
Q.Can I fit StarCom1 myself?
A.Most customer s fit their own system. Everything required is included in the kits and the instruc-
tion manual gives comprehensive instructions. The wiring requires only a pair of pliers, no wires
need to be cut or soldered.
Q.Can I play my portable music system through StarCom1?
A.Yes, a stereo music lead is supplied with all StarCom kits and plugs into the headphone socket
on any portable audio system (MP3, walkman, CD, MD, etc.).
Q.What is sidetone and is it required?
A.Sidetone is microphone feedback, as you talk you hear it through your own speakers. Within a
crash helmet you can hear yourself even at speed (try singing to yourself). So feedback isn’t nec-
essary. The problem with sidetone is that if wind noise is picked up, you will hear it. Budget inter-
coms normally use only a single channel for both rider and pillion so both hear everything that goes
into either microphone; speech and noise! StarCom1 uses 2 independent and separate channels
halving potential noise problems. The test for any system is: can sidetone be turned off? On
StarCom systems sidetone is factory set to off but can be switched on if required.
