Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing
the scala-rider FM™ Bluetooth headset for
motorcycle helmets. Now you can wear your
helmet while talking hands-free on your
Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, made possible by the short-range wireless
connection between your cell phone and the scala-rider FM headset.
If you are using a standard non-Bluetooth mobile phone, you can still enjoy the
headset’s advantages by connecting our optional BT Adapter to your mobile phone
(purchased separately).
The scala-rider FM headset is compatible with the latest Bluetooth ver. 1.2
specifications, and works equally well with Bluetooth ver. 1.1.
Please read and familiarize yourself with all the instructions, components and
controls of your headset prior to first use.
We wish you a great scala-rider FM experience.

3.1 Charging Battery
Make sure the headset is fully charged prior to initial use. Allow at
least Four hours for a full charge before using for the first time. Normally 2-3 hours
will suffice for complete charge. The headset should be off the helmet when being
charged (solely for purposes of convenience)
• Plug the Wall Charger into the charging socket of the headset and connect it to an
electrical outlet.
• The Red Light Indicator (LED) on the scala-rider FM will turn on when charging
begins. Allow the headset to charge until the Red LED turns off.
• When charging is complete, release the headset from the charger.
NOTE: You may leave the unit connected even if charging is completed. There is no
danger of over-charging.
3.2 Attaching and removing the scala-rider FM from your helmet
4.2.1 First installation
Once the headset is fully charged you should pair it to your mobile
phone. You cannot operate the headset prior to successful pairing
(see section 5 below). When done, proceed with attaching the unit to your helmet
as follows: back plate
• The clamp serves as the base for the headset and must be attached to your
helmet before using the headset
• Use the enclosed Allen Wrench to loosen the two
screws of the clamp (FIG. 1). Then slide the back-
plate of the clamp between the internal padding and
the external shell of the helmet (FIG. 2).
(In case the external shell of the helmet is too wide,
use the optional extension pad)
• Before fastening the screws, make sure to adjust the
clamp’s location to an ideal position, i.e. to the spot
where the attached speaker sits opposite your ear
and the microphone is located slightly off the corner
of your mouth (FIG. 3). You may need to re-position
the clamp repeatedly until you identify the ideal spot.
The speaker can be easily placed into position and
removed by means of the Velcro layer that
attaches to the inner padding of your helmet.
(Velcro pad included in your retail box).
• Once you have identified the ideal position for
The microphone and speaker, use the Allen
Wrench to fasten the clamp.
• Now slide the scala-rider FM headset downwards along the Sliding-Panel of
the clamp (FIG. 4) until a light clicking sound indicates that the
headset has reached its proper operational position.
• Turn on the headset by pressing and holding CTRL for at least 6 seconds
until the Blue LED flashes three times and an ascending alert tone is heard.

arched tip of the sliding-panel (FIG. 5) and use the other hand to slide the
headset upwards along the Sliding-Panel (FIG. 5).
4.2.3 Re-attaching the headset to the helmet.
• To re-attach the headset, simply slide it downwards along the Sliding-Panel
of the clamp (FIG. 4) until a light clicking sound indicates that the headset
has reached its proper operational position.

rapidly alternating.
5.33 Follow sections 5.1.3 to 5.1.6 above.
4.4 Reconnecting the scala-rider FM 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
connection.(not to be confused with pairing)
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.
After you have turned on your mobile phone, there are several methods to reestablish the
connection:
Page 8 of 20
• Turning the headset on should reconnect it automatically to the phone.

10 FAQs
What is the Cardo scala-rider headset?
The scala-rider wireless headset is a comfortable, stylish and easy to use accessory to a
BluetoothTM mobile phone or smart-PDA, designed for use with motorcycle helmets.
Do I need an Adapter if I already have a Bluetooth enabled cell phone?
No. Your scala-rider FM headset communicates with virtually every Bluetooth phone.
How does the scala-rider FM headset work?
Once the scala-rider FM headset 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 the
scala-rider FM with my mobile phone?
You can hold on to your non-Bluetooth mobile phone and still enjoy the benefits of the
headset, if you also purchase the scala Bluetooth Adapter. The BT Adapter is very
small and plugs directly into the headset jack of most non-Bluetooth phones, thereby
enabling that 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. Let only
Authorized Service Centers maintain or service your device. Please refer to our website
for instructions at the end of your battery life.
Do I need to turn my headset off or leave it on when it is recharging?
Your headset may stay on or off during the charging process, according to your
preference.
When I turn on my cell phone, do I need to pair or link my cell phone
and headset again?
Once your mobile phone and headset are paired, you will not have to pair it
again. 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 FM 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 I wear scala-rider FM in the rain and under snowy conditions?
Yes, the scala-rider FM is weather protected but you should avoid excessive exposure to
the elements.
