11. Introduction Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the scala-rider Team Set™ Bluetooth headset for motorcycle helmets. Now you can wear your helmet while talking hands-free on your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. In addition, you can also communicate with your passenger using the intercom feature. If you are using a standard non-Bluetooth mobile phone, you can still enjoy the headset’s advantages by connecting our optional BTA II Bluetooth Adapter to your mobile phone (purchased separately). The headset is compatible with the latest Bluetooth version. 1.2 specifications, and works equally well with Bluetooth version. 1.1. Please read and familiarize yourself with all the instructions, components and controls of your headset prior to first use. For safety reasons we strongly recommend not to conduct phone calls and/or intercom conversations above 80 km/h (50 mph). Safe driving requires your complete attention and in particular at higher speeds. Also, the audio quality of your headset deteriorates with higher speeds, causing additional distraction from the traffic around you. All this adds undue risk to you and your passenger. Please refer to the waiver conditions at the end of this manual. We wish you an enjoyable and safe scala-rider Team Set experience. Features • For maximum safety, most operations are hands-free, allowing you to keep your hands on the handle-bars. • Easy to attach to helmet • Simple to use intercom feature • Driver can add the passenger to a conference call with a third party. • High-capacity, rechargeable Lithium-Polymer battery provides extended talk time of up to 9.5 hours and in excess of one week standby time. • Universal Travel charger 110/240V 50/60Hz • Supports hands-free and headset profiles • Calls can be answered and terminated from either the headset or from your mobile phone (Subject to your phone's capabilities). • Calls can be initiated from your mobile phone; audio will be heard on the headset* • 2-year Limited Warranty. * Some phones require that you press briefly CTRL to transfer the call Definitions BT Bluetooth® LED Light Indicator on the headset CTRL Control Button on the headset 2. Safety IMPORTANT The scala-rider Team-Set is a water-resistant device, designed for use under moderate rain and snow conditions. However, the headset is not waterproof and should not be used under severe weather conditions. The cover tongue protecting the charging jack should be kept tightly closed at all times to prevent moisture from entering the device. Observe the following safety precautions when using your headset: • Carefully read and understand the instructions in this manual. • Follow all instructions and warnings labeled and marked in this manual. • Use a cloth to clean the headset. DO NOT use liquid or aerosol cleaners. • Use caution when using your headset near water such as bathtubs, sinks, or swimming pools. • Do not expose your headset to extreme temperature, moisture, or high voltage. • Your headset is rugged, but can be damaged or broken if not handled with care. • Do not expose headset to liquids, nor place heavy objects on it. • Do not disassemble the product or any of its components for any reason, as this will void the warranty and may damage the electronic circuits.

Interference With Other Devices Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals that emanate from your wireless equipment. Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of about six inches (16 cm) be maintained between a mobile phone or a headset and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Be sure not to interfere with the functionality of personal medical devices. Hearing Aids Some digital headsets may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you should consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device and/or your physician to determine if it is adequately shielded from interference caused by external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

4 4. Components 5. Before Using Make sure that the headsets are fully charged for at least five hours before initial use. 1. Connect the wall chargers to Charging Jacks of each headset (located between the two Volume Control buttons). 2. While charging, the red indicator light illuminates. When charging is complete the light will turn off. General Instructions All Headset functions are controlled either by: • pushing the Control or Intercom Button either for a short period of less than a second or a long period of over three seconds or • by clicking the volume up and volume down buttons. Turning on the Headsets for the First Time THE DRIVER UNIT (silver logo): The driver unit permits two communication modes: • Mobile Phone connections with third parties • Intercom connection with the passenger. In order for the headset to work with your cellular phone, they must first recognize each other. This process is called “pairing”, and only needs to be performed once for each phone. 1. Turn on your phone and make sure its Bluetooth function is activated. 2. With the Headset turned off press and hold the Control Button until the red and blue indicator lights begin rapidly alternating. 3. Search for Bluetooth devices on your phone by following the phone’s instructions. 4. After a few seconds the phone will list the scala-rider Team-Set as a discovered device. Select it and follow your phone’s instructions to accept the pairing. 5. When prompted enter 0000 (four zeros) as your PIN or passkey. 6. Your phone will confirm that pairing has succeeded. Note: If pairing is not completed within two minutes the headset will return to standby mode. Your Headset can pair with up to eight phones, and will automatically connect to the last phone connected to the Headset. Reconnecting the Headset to a Paired Phone Although you may have previously paired your headset to your phone, each time you turn one of them off, some phones require that you re-establish the link. Reconnecting may also be necessary when your headset and phone have lost the radio signal because the distance between them has exceeded 30 feet or 10 meters, or major obstacles have come in the way. After you have turned on your headset and mobile phone, there are several methods to re-establish the link if needed: • Assuming your mobile phone is voice activation capable, press briefly the headset’s CTRL button to activate voice dial. A signal on your phone’s screen will indicate that the link is re-established. • Do nothing. Once a call is received, answer by pressing the CTRL button.
5• With some mobile phones you should refer to your phone’s menu and/or manual. • The most likely solution is to simply turn off the headset and then turn on again after several seconds. THE PASSENGER UNIT (blue logo): This unit is solely intended for intercom connection with the driver and cannot initiate or receive a phone call. To turn on the Passenger unit, press the Control button until the blue indicator light illuminates. The Driver and Passenger units are supplied paired TO EACH OTHER. Attaching the scala-rider Units to Your Helmets Perform this procedure for both the driver and passenger helmets. 1. Use the enclosed Allen Wrench to loosen the two screws on the Back Plate. 2. Slide the Back Plate between the internal padding and the external shell of the helmet (If the external shell is too thick use the extension pad) 3. Adjust the clamp’s location so that the microphone is located at the corner of your mouth, and then tighten the screws. Attach the speaker to the Velcro on inside of your helmet opposite your ear, or use the supplied Velcro pad. 4. Slide the Headset downwards along the sliding panel until a clicking sound indicates that the Headset is locked in place. The Headset name appears on the inside of the Headset. Make sure that you attach the proper Headset to each helmet (Silver logo = Rider, Blue logo= Passenger). Removing the Headset From the Helmet Your Headset can be removed for charging and storage by pressing your finger gently against the tab and sliding the Headset up with the other hand (Figure 1). Figure 1 We recommend that you store your Headset in the enclosed carry pouch when not in use. 6. Handling Calls NOTE: Certain advanced features of the scala-rider Team Set are only accessible to phones equipped with the hands-free profile. Initiating Calls by Using Your Phone’s Keypad 1. Dial the phone number on your phone’s keypad. 2. Press “Talk” or “Send” on your phone to dial the number. Voice Dialing 1. Make sure your phone is ON but no call is in progress. 2. Tap the CTRL button and listen for a tone. 3. Now pronounce the name of the party you wish to call and wait for feedback from the phone. The type of feedback depends on your phone. Press here
6Answering Calls (Including Voice Recognition Feature) The ring tone for incoming calls increases gradually. When you hear the ring tone (on the headset), there are two ways you can answer the call: • Tap the CTRL button on your headset once (Figure 2Figure 2) • Assuming the Voice Recognition feature is active (See Section 7 below), answer the call by pronouncing loudly any word of your choice within 7 seconds. If you remain silent for 7 seconds the call will be automatically rejected and the ringing will stop. Figure 2 Terminating Calls To terminate a call, tap the Reject/Redial/End button, followed by a tone confirming the termination (Figure 3) If the other party terminates the call first, no action is necessary. Wait at least three seconds before pressing the CTRL button to start voice dialing. Figure 3 NOTE: If your mobile phone does not support the handsfree protocol you will not be able to end calls by pressing the Reject/redial/End Button. Instead, please tap the CTRL button to terminate calls. Volume Control The scala-rider Team Set headset comes equipped with AGC technology to automatically adjust itself to the optimal speaker volume. Its embedded sensors continuously measure the ambient noise and driving speed to make manual adjustment of the volume buttons virtually unnecessary. You can also adjust the volume anytime by pressing the volume buttons one step at a time (Figure 4). For each step of adjustment, you will hear a short beep. Figure 4 Call Reject While you hear the ring tone on the headset, there are two ways you can reject the call: • Tap the Redial/Reject/End button on your headset to reject the call (FIG. 9). • Assuming the VR feature is enabled (see section 7 below), remain silent for 7 seconds to reject the incoming call. Redial While no call is in progress, tap the Redial/Reject/End button on your headset to redial to the last number (FIG. 9). Intercom Functions • To enable and disable the intercom functions long press the Intercom button. 1 tone indicates enabled, and 2 tones indicates disabled. • To initiate an intercom conversation, simply start talking while in standby mode. • To disconnect an intercom conversation, remain silent for 15 seconds 7. Voice Recognition (VR) feature The VR feature allows you to answer or reject incoming calls by voice control without having to remove your hands from the handlebars. The default mode of this feature is ON. Tap here to answer a call Tap here to terminate a callPress here to increase the volume Press here to decrease the volume
7To disable the VR feature, please refer to section 7.1 below. NOTE: The VR feature works well while driving up to 70km/h or 44m/h with 3/4 helmet and up to 120km/h or 75m/h with closed full faced helmet. Enable/Disable the Voice Recognition Feature Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to enable/disable the VR feature. You will hear an ascending/descending tone confirming the change each time you switch this feature ON or OFF respectively. Answering Calls Using Voice Recognition We recommend that you set your phone to auto-answer before driving your motorcycle. The phone will then automatically answer any incoming calls, thus allowing you to talk without having to perform any actions. Alternately, you can answer an incoming call via the headset, by loudly saying any word of your choice within 7 seconds. If you remain silent the call will be rejected (See following section). Rejecting Calls Using Voice Recognition To reject a call and stop the ringing, when you hear an incoming call via the headset, remain silent for 7 seconds.

The scala-rider Team Set wireless headset is a comfortable, stylish and easy to use accessory to a Bluetooth® mobile phone or smart-PDA that enables you to hear and speak without holding your mobile phone near to your ear. Do I need an Adapter if I already have a Bluetooth enabled cell phone? No. Your scala-rider Team Set communicates with virtually every Bluetooth phone. How does the scala-rider Team Set headset headset work? Once the scala-rider Team Set is “paired” to your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, the two devices communicate wirelessly using Bluetooth technology. If I want to keep my non-Bluetooth mobile phone, can I still use it with my scala-rider Team Set headset? You can hold on to your non-BT mobile phone and still enjoy the benefits of the headset, if you use the Cardo BTA II Bluetooth Adapter (purchased separately). The BTA II Adapter plugs directly into the headset jack of most non-Bluetooth phones, thereby enabling the phone to communicate wirelessly with your headset. Is the battery removable? The battery is not removable and you should never try to open the headset. The Headset should be serviced by authorized personnel only.

Once your mobile phone and headset are paired, you will not have to pair it again, unless an unforeseen error has occurred. Generally, you will only need to implement the simple steps of reconnecting your phone and headset each time either or both are turned off or have moved more than approximately 30 feet (10 meters) apart from each other. Will other Bluetooth phones interfere with my scala-rider Team Set headset? Can they eavesdrop? No. Once you are paired, your identity is known only to the mobile phone you use and no other Bluetooth phone can hear your audio signals. Can the headset cause interference with my car radio? No, the Bluetooth standard does not interfere with car radios. Can Wi-Fi or other 2.4 MHz transmissions in the vicinity interfere with the scala-rider Team Set headset? We have not encountered such events, but in general, interference may occur with any Bluetooth headset, including the scala-rider Team Set headset. Can I wear the scala-rider Team Set headset in the rain? The scala-rider Team-Set is a water-resistant device, designed for use under moderate rain and snow conditions. However, the headset is not waterproof and should not be used under severe weather conditions. The cover tongue protecting the charging jack should be kept tightly closed at all times to prevent moisture from entering the device. Will scala-rider Team Set headset work with more than one Bluetooth phone? Yes, your scala-rider Team Set headset can be paired with several Bluetooth phones, but you can only work with one at a time. Can the passenger initiate telephone calls? No, the passenger can initiate intercom conversations but cannot initiate or receive external calls. More questions? Please visit our FAQ page at http://www.cardowireless.com
