DIVE INTO THE DETAILS
Controls
The controls are extremely intuitive and easy to navigate! The gear icon provides quick access to the radio information and settings. The “A/B” button offers a convenient toggle between the two channels you’re monitoring in Dual Monitor Mode. “P1” and “P2” are programmable preset buttons that allow you to easily jump to your favorite channels. When using digital channels, press the “TXT” button to access the text message menu where you can quickly send pre-set or programmed messages to base camp or your pit crew. The lock button is your back button in menus and will lock your radio when you press and hold it - always lock your radio!
Cables
The M1 radio comes with a waterproof power cable as well as two unique cables: the intercom/headset interface cable and the remote accessory hub.
The 5-pin intercom/headset interface cable allows you to connect to any of our noise cancelling headsets, single-seat racecar harnesses, or full intercom systems.
The included accessory hub provides convenient remote access to the programming cable connection and a 3.5mm external speaker output so you’ll never have to pull your dash and hang upside down in your car on race day. Last minute prep is inevitable, and we’re here to help make race day go as smoothly as possible!
