INTRODUCTION

Congratulations and thank you for choosing the scala rider Q2 MultiSet Bluetooth® Headset package for bikers.

This User Guide will help you operate the headset, but you should first familiarize yourself with the Bluetooth functionality of your cellular phone and/or GPS device before using the scala rider Q2.

This retail box contains two scala rider Q2 headsets that already factory paired (see details below). In wide open terrain two bikers can communicate via intercom (in full duplex*) at a range of up to 500 m / 1,640 ft., subject to terrain and external conditions.

The scala rider Q2 is multi-talented and (in addition to its connection to the second Q2 unit) it can also serve as a stand-alone unit for the following connectivity modes:

•As a Bluetooth headset for mobile phone communication**

•As a Biker-to-Passenger Intercom device that connects with any scala rider headset worn by the passenger

•As a speaker that transmits GPS Navigation instructions from a compatible GPS device***

•AsaspeakerthattransmitsaudiofromtheembeddedFMRadio

•As a speaker that transmits music from your MP3 player

NOTE: Each Q2 headset can establish an audio connection with one Bluetooth device at a time. Read the section “Using the Headset” on how to switch the audio connection between the paired devices.

____________________

*Full duplex calls allow you to speak and hear the other party speak simultaneously

**Mobile phones that do not support the Bluetooth Handsfree profile may prevent you from using the Redial and Call Reject features. The Q2 supports headset and handsfree profiles at up to 10 m / 30 ft. distance from the mobile phone

***Requires Bluetooth compatibility on the part of the GPS device

STEP 1

SET UP FOR BIKE-TO-BIKE INTERCOM: PAIRING

Pairing is a one time process that is required for mutual recognition between a headset and other Bluetooth devices. Once the two headsets are paired, they will remain paired and automatically recognize each other whenever they are within range. The two headsets in your retail box are already factory paired and relate to each other as the Primary Buddy connection. In addition, each unit can be paired with an additional scala rider headset for Intercom communication. Please note that you can speak via Intercom to one Buddy headset at a time.

NOTE: This Manual refers to the Intercom users and other parties as:

Primary Buddy and Secondary Buddy.

PRIMARY BUDDY PAIRING (two scala rider Q2 headsets)

Your two MultiSet units are already factory paired and ready for use. If for any reason, you have to pair them again, proceed as follows:

1.If either headset is turned OFF, turn it ON by pressing and holding the CTRL Button until the Blue Light flashes three times.

2.Make sure that both headsets are now flashing slowly in Blue.

3.Pick up one headset and simultaneously press and hold the CTRL Button and MC Button for at least six seconds until the Red Light begins flashing rapidly, indicating it is in Intercom Pairing mode.

4.Repeat Step 3 again for the second scala rider Q2 headset. Both headsets should now be flashing rapidly in Red.

5.Within a few seconds, both headsets will show a solid Red light for two seconds, and then begin flashing slowly in Blue.

NOTE: If the Pairing process is not completed within one minute the headset will return to Standby mode.

SECONDARY BUDDY PAIRING (requires three scala rider Q2 headsets)

In addition to the Primary Buddy pairing between the two units in your retail box you can pair your headset with the Secondary Buddy headset by repeating the above pairing procedure.

NOTE:Your headset can communicate with either the Primary Buddy or the Secondary Buddy. However, neither

the Primary Buddy nor the Secondary Buddy can communicate among each other directly via Intercom.

NOTE: If the Pairing process is not completed within one minute the headset will return to Standby mode.

STEP 2 (Optional)

SETUPFORRIDER-TO-PASSENGERINTERCOM:PAIRING

There are two ways that the scala rider Q2 can be used for Driver-to- Passenger communication.

A. Both Rider and Passenger are using scala rider Q2 headsets (like the two units in your retail package).

To Pair the two headsets, follow the Steps listed in the section above titled PRIMARY BUDDY PAIRING (2 bikers)

B. The Rider is using a scala rider Q2 and the Passenger is using an earlier scala rider headset (i.e. a scala rider Solo, a scala rider FM or a scala rider TeamSet Driver unit headset).

To Pair the two headsets:

1.Starting with the earlier scala rider headset turned OFF, press and hold the CTRL button until the Red/Blue lights begin rapidly alternating.

2.Starting with the scala rider Q2 turned ON, simultaneously press and hold the CTRL Button and MC Button for six seconds until the Red light begins flashing rapidly, indicating it is in Intercom Pairing mode.

3.Within a few seconds, the scala rider Q2 will show a solid Red light for two seconds, and then begin flashing slowly in Blue.

NOTE: If the Pairing process is not completed within one minute the headset will return to Standby mode.

NOTE: When using an earlier scala rider headset as a Passenger headset, Voice Connect Intercom can be initiated only by the scala rider Q2 headset. Manual Connect Intercom can be initiated from either headset by pressing the MC button for scala rider Q2 and CTRL button for any earlier scala rider headset.

RESET INTERCOM PAIRING

You can delete all of the headset’s Intercom pairings at any time.
