electrical outlet.
• The Red Light Indicator (LED) on the scala-rider will turn on when charging begins.
Allow the headset to charge until the Red LED turns off.

Once the headset is fully charged you should pair it to your mobile

clamp’s location to an ideal position, i.e. to the spot
where the attached speaker sits opposite your ear
and the microphone is located slightly off the corner
of your mouth (FIG. 3). You may need to re-position
the clamp repeatedly until you identify the ideal spot.
The speaker can be easily placed into position and
removed by means of the Velcro layer that
attaches to the inner padding of your helmet.
