How long does the battery last?

Battery life varies with usage, but typically offers up to 12 hours of talk time for intercom and 8 hours of talk time for phone calls. A full charge usually takes around 2.5 hours.

Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on

Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect the charger and verify the charging indicator light. If the issue persists, contact Sena support.

Intercom connection fails

Verify both devices are within the 700m range and have active Bluetooth connections. Try re-pairing the intercom connection by turning both units off and on again, then initiating the pairing process.

Smartphone audio is choppy or drops

Ensure your smartphone's Bluetooth is enabled and functioning correctly. Move closer to the 5R headset. Close other Bluetooth applications on your phone that may be consuming bandwidth.

Cannot pair with smartphone

Turn off Bluetooth on your smartphone and then turn it back on. Delete the existing Sena 5R pairing from your smartphone's Bluetooth settings and attempt to pair again. Ensure the 5R is in pairing mode.
