Mobile Phone audio or GPS instructions*2. Intercom / Click-to-Link3. A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) audio4. 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 PriorityFor example:• Incoming mobile phone calls interrupt ongoing intercom calls• Incoming intercom calls will interrupt ongoing A2DP music• Intercom and Click-to-Link calls have the same priority. So Click-to-Link calls will not interrupt any Intercom call in progress, and vice-versa. NOTE: A2DP audio priority can be congured to be higher than Intercom audio priority via the Cardo Community (see section 4.4).6 | scala rider® Q1 / Q1 TeamSet™

INTERCOM The scala rider Q1 allows Rider-to-Passenger full duplex intercom communication. To chat with another scala rider via Intercom, pair your scala rider Q1 to the second device. Pairing is a one-time process. Once paired, the two units will automatically recognize each other whenever in range.5.1 INTERCOM COMPATIBILITYYour scala rider Q1 is compatible with most scala rider 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 details on how to pair and use your Q1 with other scala rider models, please visit www.cardosystems.com/Q1compatibility.scala rider® Q1 / Q1 TeamSet™ | 7
5.2 PAIRING THE INTERCOM CHANNELNOTE: Pairing will replace any existing paired device with the new device. If you have purchased the Q1 TeamSet, the retail package contains two pre-paired units. If for any reason you have to pair them again, OR if you wish to pair another unit, proceed as follows:1. Check both scala riders are in Standby (single BLUE ash every 3 seconds).2. On the Q1, press and hold the “IC” button for 5 seconds. The LED will begin ashing RED and the Q1 will now be in intercom pairing mode. 3. Enter intercom pairing mode on the second unit by following the device’s instructions. Both units will now be in intercom pairing mode.4. After a few seconds, the Q1 will show a solid RED light for 2 seconds, indicating that it is paired and ready to use.NOTE: If Pairing is not completed within two minutes, the units will return to Standby mode.5.3 MAKING INTERCOM CALLSMake Intercom Call Tap “IC” or speak any word loudly into the microphone to call via VOXEnd Intercom call Tap “IC” Use VOX to make Intercom Calls using only your voice (see section 4.6). VOX Intercom calls will end automatically after 30 seconds of silence.IMPORTANT: VOX and AGC performance will vary based on environmental conditions including driving speed, helmet type and ambient noise. For improved performance, minimize the wind impact on the microphone by using the large microphone sponge and closing the visor.5.4 RECEIVING INTERCOM CALLS• If another paired scala rider tries calling you via Intercom, the call will begin almost instantly• To receive a CTL intercom call see table in section 5.55.5 CLICKTOLINK® INTERCOMClick-to-Link is the spontaneous, “social” feature of your scala rider. Use Click-to-Link to make intercom calls with other scala rider users near you without pre-pairing.Click-to-Link can be disabled on your Q1 eectively blocking any attempt by others to make Click-to-Link calls to you.If you want to… Perform this action:Start a CTL call request (search lasts up to 10 seconds)In standby, press “MM” for 2 secondsEnd a CTL call / Cancel a CTL call requestTap “IC”Accept a CTL call When hearing the CTL ringtone:Tap “IC” or say any word loudly to answer by VOXReject a CTL call Remain silent until the CTL ringtone stops or press “IC” for 2 secondsENABLE/DISABLE CTL (Default: ENABLED)Via the Voice Menu (see section 4.5) or via the Cardo Community8 | scala rider® Q1 / Q1 TeamSet™
If other scala rider users are nearby, your next Click-to-Link call may randomly connect to any of them.5.6 BUSY SIGNALA busy signal will be heard when attempting to establish an Intercom call with another device that is already on a phone or intercom call.6. PAIRING AND USING A MOBILE PHONE, GPS DEVICE OR MP3 PLAYERTo connect your scala rider to a Bluetooth device you must rst pair them. Once paired, they will automatically recognize each other whenever they are within range (10m / 33ft).Your scala rider has two Bluetooth channels for connection to mobile phones, GPS devices and music players with A2DP.6.1 PAIRING BLUETOOTH CHANNELS 1 AND 21. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone/GPS/MP3 player.2. Check the scala rider is in Standby (single BLUE ash every 3 seconds).3. To pair Bluetooth Channel 1 – press “V+” for at least 5 seconds until the RED and BLUE LEDs begin rapidly alternating. To pair Bluetooth Channel 2 – press “V-” for at least 5 seconds until the RED and BLUE LEDs begin rapidly alternating.4. Search for Bluetooth devices on your phone/GPS/MP3 player by following the device’s instructions.5. After a few seconds the device will list “scala rider Q1 ”. Select it.6. If prompted for a PIN or Passkey, enter 0000 (four zeros).7. The device will conrm that pairing has succeeded and the scala rider will begin ashing slowly in BLUE.8. If Pairing is not completed within 2 minutes, the scala rider will return to Standby mode. IMPORTANT!• If you have paired 2 dierent mobile phones directly to your scala rider , you will need to set one as default for making calls. See section 6.2b for details.• If your GPS supports it, you can pair the second mobile phone directly to the GPS and then pair the GPS to your scala rider, and so connect both mobile phones and the GPS to your scala rider. NOTES: • Not all Bluetooth mobile phones can broadcast Bluetooth Stereo music (A2DP), even if the phone has an MP3 player function. Consult your mobile phone’s User Manual for more information.• Not all Bluetooth GPS devices allow connection to Bluetooth audio devices. Consult your GPS User Manual for more information.• After pairing, you may need to tap “MM” to connect the scala rider .scala rider® Q1 / Q1 TeamSet™ | 9
