1. Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing
the scala-rider Team Set™ Bluetooth headset
for motorcycle helmets. Now you can wear
your helmet while talking hands-free on your
Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. In addition,
you can also communicate with your passenger
using the intercom feature.

If you are using a standard non-Bluetooth
mobile phone, you can still enjoy the headset’s
advantages by connecting our optional BTA II
Bluetooth Adapter to your mobile phone
(purchased separately).

The headset is compatible with the latest
Bluetooth version. 1.2 specifications, and
works equally well with Bluetooth version. 1.1.

Please read and familiarize yourself with all
the instructions, components and controls of
your headset prior to first use.

For safety reasons we strongly recommend not
to conduct phone calls and/or intercom
conversations above 80 km/h (50 mph). Safe
driving requires your complete attention and in
particular at higher speeds. Also, the audio
quality of your headset deteriorates with higher
speeds, causing additional distraction from the
traffic around you. All this adds undue risk to
you and your passenger.

Please refer to the waiver conditions at the end
of this manual.

We wish you an enjoyable and safe scala-rider
Team Set experience.

2. Safety

IMPORTANT

The scala-rider Team-Set is a water-resistant
device, designed for use under moderate rain
and snow conditions. However, the headset is
not waterproof and should not be used under
severe weather conditions. The cover tongue
protecting the charging jack should be kept
tightly closed at all times to prevent moisture
from entering the device.

Observe the following safety precautions when
using your headset:

• Carefully read and understand the
instructions in this manual.

• Follow all instructions and warnings labeled
and marked in this manual.

• Use a cloth to clean the headset. DO NOT
use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

• Use caution when using your headset near
water such as bathtubs, sinks, or swimming
pools.

• Do not expose your headset to extreme
temperature, moisture, or high voltage.

• Your headset is rugged, but can be damaged
or broken if not handled with care.

• Do not expose headset to liquids, nor place
heavy objects on it.

• Do not disassemble the product or any of its
components for any reason, as this will void
the warranty and may damage the electronic
circuits. If assistance is needed, contact the

RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.

Interference With Other
Devices

Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals that
emanate from your wireless equipment.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association recommends that a minimum
separation of about six inches (16 cm) be
maintained between a mobile phone or a
headset and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. Be sure not to
interfere with the functionality of personal
medical devices.

Hearing Aids

Some digital headsets may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference,
you should consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

5. Before Using

Make sure that the headsets are fully charged
for at least five hours before initial use.

1. Connect the wall chargers to
Charging Jacks of each headset
(located between the two Volume
Control buttons).

2. While charging, the red indicator
light illuminates. When charging is
complete the light will turn off.

General Instructions

All Headset functions are controlled either by:

• pushing the Control or Intercom
Button either for a short period of less
than a second or a long period of over
three seconds

or

• by clicking the volume up and volume
down buttons.

Turning on the Headsets for
the First Time

THE DRIVER UNIT (silver logo): The driver
unit permits two communication modes:

• Mobile Phone connections with third
parties

• Intercom connection with the
passenger.

In order for the headset to work with your
cellular phone, they must first recognize each
other. This process is called “pairing”, and
only needs to be performed once for each
phone.

1. Turn on your phone and make sure its
Bluetooth function is activated.

2. With the Headset turned off press and
hold the Control Button until the red

Note: If pairing is not completed within two
minutes the headset will return to standby
mode.

Your Headset can pair with up to eight phones,
and will automatically connect to the last
phone connected to the Headset.

and blue indicator lights begin rapidly
alternating.

3. Search for Bluetooth devices on your
phone by following the phone’s
instructions.

4. After a few seconds the phone will
list the scala-rider Team-Set as a
discovered device. Select it and
follow your phone’s instructions to
accept the pairing.

5. When prompted enter 0000 (four
zeros) as your PIN or passkey.

6. Your phone will confirm that pairing
has succeeded.

Reconnecting the Headset
to a Paired Phone

Although you may have previously paired your
headset to your phone, each time you turn one
of them off, some phones require that you re­establish the link. Reconnecting may also be
necessary when your headset and phone have
lost the radio signal because the distance
between them has exceeded 30 feet or 10
meters, or major obstacles have come in the
way. After you have turned on your headset
and mobile phone, there are several methods to
re-establish the link if needed:

• Assuming your mobile phone is voice
activation capable, press briefly the
headset’s CTRL button to activate voice
dial. A signal on your phone’s screen will
indicate that the link is re-established.

• Do nothing. Once a call is received, answer
by pressing the CTRL button.
