4.3 AUDIO SOURCES AND PRIORITIES
If two connected audio sources try to play audio simultaneously, your
scala rider automatically determines which audio source to play
through the speakers based on the priority of the connected devices.
Higher Priority
Lower Priority
1. Mobile Phone audio or GPS instructions*
2. Intercom / Click-to-Link
3. A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) audio
4. FM Radio (Built-in)
5. AUX (for corded connection i.e. Music Players)
* GPS instructi ons from Smartphone GP S Apps are
prioritized li ke A2DP audio
For 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 pr iority can be congured to b e higher than
Intercom audio p riority via the Cardo Community (see se ction 4.4).
