2. ABOUTDMCTECHNOLOGY
YourSMARTHfeaturestwodistinctintercomcommunicationmodes:thetraditionalBluetoothprotocolandthe
uniqueDMC*technology.
UseBluetoothtoconnecttodevices,suchasyoursmartphoneorGPS,ortocommunicatewithriderswithheadsets
thatdon'tincludeDMCtechnology.However,whenconnectedtootherDMC-poweredriders,youwillsoonlearn
thatitisbyfarthemostadvancedwaytocommunicateinagroupofthreeormoreriders.InDMCmodeyouwill
instantlycreateadynamically-fluidnetworkofriderstocommunicateinfullconferencemode.UnlikeBluetooth,DMC
allowsanyoneinthegrouptoroamfreely,overtakeeachotherorevenleavethegroupaltogether,withoutaffecting
theongoingconversationsoftheremainingfellowriders.
HowDoes ItWork?
AnymembercanstartanewDMCgroup.WheninDMCmode,thegroupcreator'sdevicewillsearchforotherriders
inDMCintercommodewithinrangeandautomaticallyaddthemtothegroup.
WhenusingDMCintercommode,whenevergroupmembersexceedrangewitheachother,theyareautomatically
re-connectedwithinsplitsecondstoaclosergroupmemberinorderto"leapfrog"totheremoterider.Thisway,
