4.4 AUDIO SOURCES AND PRIORITIES

If two connected audio sources try to play audio simultaneously,

your scala rider G9 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/”One+8”/Click-to-Link

3. A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) audio

4. FM Radio (Built-in)

5. AUX (for corded connection i.e. Music Players)

*GPS instructions from Smartphone GPS Apps are

prioritized like A2DP audio

Lower Priority

For example:

• Incoming mobile phone calls interrupt ongoing intercom calls

• Incoming intercom calls will interrupt ongoing A2DP music

Click-to-Link, Intercom and “One+8” calls have the same priority:

Click-to-Link requests will not interrupt any type of Intercom call

in progress, and vice-versa.

4.5 VOICE COMMAND

The G9 allows you to perform certain actions by simply using your

voice. Using advanced Voice Recognition, you can control the G9

completely handsfree.

The default Voice Command language is English. Other languages

can be selected via the Cardo Community platform including

German, French, Italian and Spanish (see section 3).

Throughout this manual, features which are available via Voice

Command are marked with the

icon.

VOICE COMMAND TABLE:

1. In Standby Mode (no call in progress), tap the Voice Command

button or speak any word loudly to activate VOX

2. Speak a Voice Command from the table below:

Current Mode Desired Action Say this:

Standby / FM /

Intercom call with A or B “Call Intercom”

Standby Start A2DP “Music ON”

Turn on FM “Radio ON”

FM Turn o FM “Radio OFF”

A2DP Stop / Pause A2DP “Music OFF”

*see Section 5.1 for details

NOTE: Voice Command performance may vary based on

environmental conditions including driving speed, helmet type and

ambient noise.

For improved performance of the Voice Command feature, minimize

wind impact on the microphone by using the large microphone

sponge and closing the visor.

4.6 SETTINGS CUSTOMIZATION

Your G9 oers various customizable settings, allowing you to

personalize it according to your preferences. Among these

settings, you can:

• Enable/Disable Spoken Status Announcements, i.e.

informing you about the respective connectivity status, like

Intercom Compatibility

Your scala rider G9 is compatible with all scala rider intercom

models for intercom calls. In addition, it is also compatible with

the Schuberth SRC-System™. Intercom range with other models is

limited to the distance of the device with the shorter range.

For instructions on how to pair and use your scala rider G9 with

other scala rider models, please visit

www.cardosystems.com/compatibility.

5.1 “ONE+8” INTERCOM TOGGLING MODE

5.1a CONFIGURING YOUR G9 BUDDY NAME

“One+8” Intercom Toggling allows you to connect to a “One+8”

Buddy by simply saying the Buddy Name they assigned to their G9.

IMPORTANT! Before using “One+8” Intercom, you should assign

your G9 device(s) a Buddy Name, so that other “One+8” participants

can call you by this name.

If you change your G9 Buddy Name, you must Flash Pair again with

your “One+8” Buddies for their G9 to receive your new Buddy Name.

Visit the Cardo Community platform

http://community.cardosystems.com to assign your G9

device’s Buddy Name using your PC. See Section 3 for more

details.

Until you assign a Buddy Name to your G9, it will be known by

its generic “One+8” Buddy name, “scala rider”.

“One+8” Intercom Buddies will be able to connect to your G9 by

manually choosing your G9 from their “One+8” Intercom Buddy

List (see Section 6.1: Option 2: Manual Mode).

5.1b HEARING YOUR ASSIGNED NAME

To hear the name you have chosen for your G9:

1. Start with the G9 in Standby mode.

2. Simultaneously tap the Voice Command and Channel “B” buttons.

3. You will hear the Buddy name of your G9 through the speakers.

5.1c PAIRING WITH A “ONE+8” INTERCOM BUDDY

Flash-Pairing™

are in Standby Mode (slow single blue ashing).

2. Bump the two G9 units gently against each other and hold

them side by side.

CLICK !

3. If Flash-Pairing was successful, a purple light appears for

2 seconds.

“One+8” Intercom Buddies, pairing another buddy will replace the

buddy that you have not spoken to for the longest time.

5.2a TWOWAY INTERCOM

If you have purchased the G9 PowerSet, both units are factory-

paired and congured to communicate via their respective

Channel “A” Buttons. If for any reason you have to pair them again,

OR if you purchased a single scala rider G9 and wish to pair with

a second unit to make Intercom calls, proceed as follows:

METHOD 1: Flash-Pairing with Channel A and B

buttons

1. Remove two G9 units from the Audio Kits and verify they are

in Standby Mode (slow single blue ashing).

2. Tap the Channel button (“A” or “B”) on the rst G9 unit and the

purple light begins ashing.

3. Tap the Channel button (“A” or “B”) on the second G9 unit and

the purple light begins ashing.

NOTE: Selecting a Channel that is already in use will override the

existing paired device on that Channel with the newly-paired device.

4. Within 5 seconds of tapping a Channel button, bump the two

G9 units gently against each other and hold them side by side.

CLICK !

5. If Flash-Pairing was successful, a purple light appears for 2 seconds.

 METHOD 2: Manual Pairing with Channel A / B buttons

1. Check that both G9s are ON and in Standby mode (single BLUE

ash every 3 seconds).

2. Choose a channel to pair the G9 unit (Channel “A” or “B”).

NOTE: Selecting a Channel that is already in use will override the

existing paired device on that Channel with the newly paired device.

3. Press and hold the chosen Channel Button (“A” or “B”) on the

rst G9 for at least 5 seconds until the BLUE or RED LED begins

ashing rapidly, indicating it is in Intercom Pairing mode (see

Table in section 5.2).

4. Immediately repeat Steps 2-3 for the second G9 unit. Both units

will now be in Intercom Pairing mode.

5. After a few seconds, both G9s will show a solid light for

2 seconds, indicating that they are paired, connected and

ready to use.

NOTE: If Pairing is not completed within two minutes, the G9 will

return to Standby mode.

5.2b THREEWAY INTERCOM

If you purchased the scala rider G9 PowerSet, both units are

factory-paired and congured to communicate via their respective

Channel “A” Buttons. To pair a third scala rider G9 use Channel “B”.

To set up three-way intercom conference mode proceed as

follows:

Use Channel “B”

Use Channel “A”

Rider 2 Rider 3

Rider 1

Rider “1” is paired to Rider “2” and also to Rider “3”.

PAIRING THREE SCALA RIDER G9 UNITS

1. Rider 1 pairs their device to Rider 2 using Channel “A” as

described in section 5.2a.

2. Rider 1 pairs their device to Rider 3 using Channel “B” as

described in section 5.2a.

The Three-Way Conference Intercom Pairing is now complete

and ready to use.

IMPORTANT: Three-Way Conference Mode Considerations

During a 3-Way Intercom Conference call with 2 other participants,

Rider 1 will not be able to receive mobile phone calls or GPS

navigation instructions as long as the call is in progress.

5.3 CLICKTOLINK INTERCOM MODE

Click-to-Link is a spontaneous, “social” feature of your G9.

Use Click-to-Link to instantly initiate 1-on-1 intercom calls

with other scala rider users near you, without those users

already being paired to you. Think of it as a private Bike-to-Bike

channel that you can set up on-the-go with other scala rider G9 or

G4 users that you see along the way.

The Click-to-Link feature can be disabled on your G9 eectively blocking

any attempt by a third party to send a Click-to-Link request to you.
