1 RED ash every 3 seconds Standby mode–Battery is low
2 RED ashes every 3 seconds Active mode – Battery is low
Solid RED Charging
4.4. AUDIO SOURCES AND PRIORITIES
If two connected audio sources try to play audio simultaneously, the cardo BK-1 automatically determines
which audio source to play through the speakers based on the priority of the connected devices.
Higher Priority 1. Mobile Phone audio or GPS instructions
2. Intercom/Click-to-Link (CTL)
3. A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) audio
4. Multi-Port–(for corded connection i.e. Music Players)
Lower Priority
MAN00066 CARDO BK-1 J-104.indd 19 8/4/11 11:54 AM
20 | cardo BK-1
For example:
• Incoming mobile phone calls will interrupt ongoing intercom calls
• Incoming intercom calls will interrupt the A2DP audio source
Click-to-Link® calls and Intercom calls have the same priority:
A Click-to-Link® request cannot interrupt an Intercom call in progress, and vice-versa.
IC (Intercom) Busy Tone: If you are on a mobile call, Click-to-Link call, or receiving GPS instructions and
Cyclist A or Cyclist B try to connect to you for an IC Call, you will both hear a busy tone (double beep).
5. InteRCom oPeRAtIon
5.1. CONFIGURING THE INTERCOM
The cardo BK-1 Intercom allows Bicycle-to-Bicycle full duplex communication at a range of up to 800 m /
2,600 ft. (subject to terrain).
Pairing with another cardo BK-1 unit
To chat with another cardo BK-1 user via Intercom, rst pair the cardo BK-1 devices to each other. Pairing
is a one-time process. Once paired, the cardo BK-1 units will automatically recognize each other whenever
they are within range.
NOTE:
The retail package of the “DUO” version contains two factory-paired units.
Channel “B”
Channel “A”
Intercom communication is possible between up to three users, i.e. you and two other cardo BK-1 users
through the two available pairing channels: Channel “A” and Channel “B”
The Channel “A” and Channel “B” buttons on your cardo BK-1 are used to:
• Pair a cardo BK-1 Intercom partner to the channel
• Connect to a cardo BK-1 Intercom partner paired on this channel

Channel “B” Channel “B” BUTTON Rapid BLUE ashing
5.1a. TWOWAY INTERCOM
If you have purchased the cardo BK-1 DUO, both units are factory-paired and congured to communicate via
their respective Channel “A” Buttons. If for any reason you have to pair them again, OR if you purchased a single cardo BK-1
and wish to pair with a second unit to make Intercom calls, proceed as follows:
First BK-1 Unit
Use Channel “A” or
Channel “B”
Second BK-1 Unit
BASIC INTERCOM PAIRING:
1. Check that both BK-1 devices are turned ON and in Standby mode. (single BLUE ash every 3 seconds)
2. Choose an available channel to pair the rst BK-1
(Channel “A” or Channel “B”).
NOTE: Selecting a Channel that is already in use will override the existing paired cardo BK-1 on
that Channel with the newly paired cardo BK-1.
3. Press and hold the chosen Channel Button (“A” or “B”) on the rst BK-1 for at least 6 seconds until
the BLUE or RED Light begins ashing rapidly, indicating it is in Intercom Pairing mode (See Table in
section 5.1).
4. Immediately repeat Step 2-3 for the second cardo BK-1. Both units will now be in Intercom Pairing mode.
5. After a few seconds, both cardo BK-1 devices will show a solid light for 2 seconds, indicating that
they are now paired, connected and ready to use.
NOTE: If Pairing is not completed within two minutes, the cardo BK-1 will return to Standby mode.

5.1b. THREEWAY INTERCOM
If you have purchased the cardo BK-1 DUO, both units are factory-paired and congured to communicate via their
respective Channel “A” Buttons. To pair a third cardo BK-1 use Channel “B”.
To set up three-way intercom conference mode proceed as follows:
Cyclist 2 Cyclist 3
Cyclist 1
Use Channel “A”
Use Channel “B”
In this conguration Cyclist “1” is paired to Cyclist “2” and also to Cyclist “3”.
PAIRING THREE CARDO BK-1 UNITS
1. Cyclist 1 pairs their device to Cyclist 2 using Channel “A” as described in section 5.1.1. (BASIC
INTERCOM PAIRING)
2. Now Cyclist 1 pairs their device to Cyclist 3 using Channel “B” as described in section 5.1.1. (BASIC
INTERCOM PAIRING)
The Three-Way Conference Intercom Pairing is now complete and ready to use.
IMPORTANT: Three-Way Conference Mode Considerations
When in Intercom Conference mode with 2 other participants, you will not be able to receive mobile phone calls or
GPS navigation instructions as long as the conference call is in progress.
