N-COM AND MOBILE PHONE

ANDROID: NO RINGTONE IN THE HELMET

I have a phone with Android OS. When I receive a phone call I can’t hear the ringtone inside the helmet.

If the call is correctly transmitted to the helmet but you cannot hear the call’s ringtone, you should check both the phone audio settings (ringtone audio, call audio, multimedia audio, ...), and the options enabled during the pairing up of the phone to the N-Com system (in the Bluetooth menu of your smartphone, select the Settings icon next to the N-Com name and check the various options on the specific page).

iPHONE: NO RINGTONE IN THE HELMET

I have an iPhone. When I receive a phone call I can’t hear the ringtone inside the helmet.

If the call is correctly transmitted to the helmet but you cannot hear the call’s ringtone, you need to adjust the volume on the smartphone.

 

Proceed as follow:

- Pair up and connect the iPhone to the N-Com system

- Make a call from the iPhone

- While sending the call, increase volume using the telephone volume control. At this point, a level scale appears on the iPhone screen that allows you to adjust the volume (Bluetooth) of the ringtone transmitted to the N-Com system.

N-COM EASYSET

SYSTEM NOT RECOGNIZED

The N-Com EASYSET program for computers does not recognize my N-Com system, what should I do?

Check that the N-Com system is compatible with the N-Com Easyset program, click here.

 

We suggest you check that the USB connector has been inserted correctly and completely in the N-Com system. Failure to recognize it could be caused by incorrect insertion of the connector in the terminal.

 

Alternatively:

- “X” series systems only: check that the connector of the USB cable of the N-Com system is inserted correctly in the e-box terminal

- disconnect the N-Com system from the computer and reconnect it

- change the USB port of the computer

- restart the PC

- verify that any Antivirus program does not prevent USB recognition

- if available, connect the N-Com system to another PC / MAC

- if available, try using another USB cable

 

If using a Mac, we suggest checking input monitoring:

- On the Mac, select Apple menu >> System Preferences. Click on Security and Privacy, then click on Privacy.

- Select "Input monitoring".

- Select the box next to the app to allow monitoring of input devices.

- Deselect the option to disable access for that app.

- Restart the MAC to save the settings.

FIRMWARE UPDATE FREEZING

The N-Com EASYSET program for computers recognizes my N-Com system, I start the firmware update, but the program freezes. What should I do?

The problem seems to be caused by the N-Com EASYSET program taking too long to find the update file. We recommend moving (or re-downloading) the update file to the Desktop, so that EASYSET can identify it quickly and easily.

 

Should the problem recur:

- If displayed, on the Windows message select "Wait for the program to respond"

- Try to update by changing computers

- If you are using a computer running Windows 10 or 11 OS, please refer to the question “WINDOWS 10/11 AND FIRMWARE UPDATE PROBLEMS”

I use Windows 10/11. I started the firmware update, but the N-Com Easyset program fails to respond or shows the error message “Unable to update firmware. Unable to access device [8][0]”.

Then proceed with the firmware update.

 

The digital signature is restored automatically when the computer is turned off. As and when you update the system again, you will need to repeat the procedure above.
