connected devices.
Higher Priority
1. Mobile Phone or GPS instructions*
2. Intercom
3. A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) audio
4. FM Radio (Built-in)
5. AUX (for corded connection i.e. Music Players)

5.3 CLICKTOLINK CTL INTERCOM MODE
Click-to-Link is a spontaneous, “social” feature of your
scala rider G9x. You can instantly initiate 1-on-1 intercom
calls with other riders near you, without being paired.

cardo SHO-1 units within a range of up to 350 m. The
recipients will hear a “Signal!” voice announcement. To reach a
maximum number of riders, the message is automatically
forwarded to all paired units within the recipient’s range. In this
manner the total range is extended to up to 1 km.
Send a Group Signal
Double tap
The transfer of wireless signals is subject to multiple external factors.
Therefore, users may use but should not rely on the Group Signal for
emergency purposes.
6. PAIRING AND USING A MOBILE PHONE,
GPS OR MP3 PLAYER
