GETTING STARTED
ATTACHING THE CLAMP ON THE HELMET
The Helmet Clamp must be attached to the left side of the helmet.
Once attached, the headset unit can be mounted or released from
the Helmet Clamp at any time. If you wish to connect your MP3 player
to your headset, please refer rst to the assembly instructions listed in
section: USING THE MP3 PLAYER WITH YOUR HEADSET.
There are two methods that can be used in order to attach the Clamp
onto the helmet:
Standard Method: Recommended for most helmet types.
Glue Plate Method: Recommended for helmets to
which the standard method cannot be applied,
using the Glue Plate included in the box.
Standard Method
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.
3. Adjust the clamp’s location so that the
microphone is located opposite your mouth
and then tighten the screws. You may need
to reposition the Clamp repeatedly until you
identify the best spot. The microphone must
be positioned vertically and not horizontally.
If you have purchased a helmet clamp version with the corded micro-
phone, please refer to section ATTACHING THE CORDED MICROPHONE
CLAMP ON A FULL-FACED HELMET.
Glue Plate Method
You have the option to glue the Helmet Clamp onto your helmet,
when the above standard method cannot be used, or in case you
prefer to secure the Helmet Clamp with adhesive glue. This option
has been successfully used for a range of high end helmets.
NOTE: While we have no reason to believe that the gluing option might
negatively affect any helmet, Cardo does not assume any responsibility to
that affect, irrespective of its nature and circumstances. The Glue Plate is
offered as a free option that you may choose to use at your own risk and
subject to renouncement of any future claims.
Caution: This process can be done only once!
1. Use the enclosed Allen Wrench to remove both Allen
screws and release the Helmet Clamp’s back plate.
2. Determine the location on the helmet where the Hel-
met Clamp must be attached.
3. Adjust the Helmet Clamp’s location on the Helmet so that the
microphone is located opposite your mouth.
You may need to reposition the Clamp
repeatedly until you identify the best spot. The
microphone must be positioned vertically and
not horizontally (Be sure to clean the selected area prior to the
gluing process).

you want to install the Glue Plate. Allow to dry thoroughly.
5. Peel the foil cover from the Glue Plates’ adhesive pad.
6. Place the Glue Plate into position according to #3. Press rmly 15
seconds on all 3 parts of the Glue Plate.
7. The adhesive pad bonds to full strength over the next 24 hours.
Therefore it is recommended to not use the headset during this 24
hour period.
8. Fasten the Clamp to the Glue Plate using the Allen screws that were
previously removed.

Clean the exact spot on the internal padding of
the helmet, opposite your mouth, where the
microphone will be placed and proceed as
follows.
a. Peel the foil cover from the adhesive Velcro
pad and place the Velcro pad on the chosen
location opposite your mouth.
b. Attach the microphone to the Velcro, as shown
in photo.
c. When done, tighten the screws of the clamp
POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS
Speaker A
Speaker B
Attach the speakers to the Velcro inside
your helmet opposite your ears (short
speaker cord for the left ear [A] and the

WORKING WITH THE FM RADIO
Your headset is equipped with a high-quality FM Radio receiver and
RDS (Radio Data System) technology, allowing you to choose how
and when you listen to your favorite stations.
The scala rider Q2
pro
enables you to listen to FM Radio while you
are not receiving audio from another audio source.
While listening to the radio, you do not have to worry about missing
any calls, as the headset automatically mutes the FM Radio and
switches to Bluetooth headset operation when an incoming call is
received, or when you decide to initiate a call. When the conversation
is over, the headset automatically tunes back in to the FM Radio.
The RDS Feature
Thanks to the RDS feature, your headset will automatically select the
strongest signal available for the FM station you wish to listen to, no
matter where you are riding. This allows you to leave your hands on
the handlebars at all times with no need to adjust the radio station
frequency while you are in motion.
To use the RDS feature while the Radio is on, press and hold the
Volume Up and Volume Down Buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
