5. INTERCOM

The scala rider PACKTALK is the world’s rst communication and entertainment system

to contain TWO intercom technologies that work to complement each other.

DMC™ intercom mode enables large groups of riders to communicate via intercom

independently of each other, seamlessly and automatically adapting to rapid changes of the group.

Bluetooth intercom mode is compatible with other scala rider intercom models, the cardo SHO-1 and Schubert’s SRC-System™. Non-Cardo devices can connect via the Cardo

Gateway, allowing conversation between your PACKTALK and a non-Cardo brand of Bluetooth intercom.

All intercom communication is full duplex with a range of up to 1 mile / 1.6 km (subject

to terrain and within line of sight). In DMC mode, intercom range can be extended to up to 3 miles / 5 km in groups of 4 or more riders.

Intercom range with other models is limited to the distance of the device with the shorter

range.

For more info please visit www.cardosystems.com/PTcompatibility

Open the a ntenna for maxi mum range

To chat with someone via Intercom, rst pair your scala rider PACKTALK to the second unit.

Pairing is a one-time process. Once paired, the units should automatically recognize each

other whenever in range.

English

5.1 DMC INTERCOM MODE

The default intercom mode is Bluetooth Intercom. To switch to DMC intercom mode:

• Enter the Standby Feature menu and choose ‘Switch Intercom mode’

• Use the Voice Command (see section 4.4)

• Use the Cardo SmartSet App (see section 3.2)

Introduction

The scala rider PACKTALK uses DMC technology to create a spontaneous and uid virtual

network of riders. DMC enables simultaneous connectivity among a far greater number of riders than the Bluetooth intercom mode.

How DMC technology works

In DMC intercom mode, each rider acts as an autonomous hub that maintains simultaneous and independent communication links with each of the other members in the pack, operating in a mesh network of PACKTALK users.

PACKTALK users may join, leave and rejoin the pack conversation without compromising the integrity of the ongoing multi-point conference call among the other pack members.

Whenever a PACKTALK user cannot directly connect with pack members beyond his intercom reach, it will re-adjust within split seconds and re-connect to the most suitable other pack member in order to ‘leapfrog’ to the remote PACKTALK user.

Create a new pack and add members to the pack

In DMC mode, press v for 5 seconds to enter intercom pairing mode. While the LED is ashing, tap v to dene yourself as the “Pack Creator”. Your unit will then proceed to search for pack members in DMC intercom pairing mode and automatically add them to your pack. If no units are found within 2 minutes, your unit will return to Standby mode.

The process can also be done from the Advanced Features Menu in Standby mode and

via the Cardo SmartSet App.

Join an existing pack

Make sure your unit is in DMC intercom mode and that you are within 3 meters /10 ft. from the Pack Creator. While the Pack Creator is in DMC Pairing mode, press v for 5 seconds on your unit. The LED will ash Purple to indicate that pairing with the Pack Creator has been successful. The process can also be done from the Advanced Features Menu in Standby mode and via the Cardo SmartSet App.

Using DMC intercom

Up to 10 riders can participate in a pack, with all pack members able to speak and hear everyone else. To avoid confusion, only 4 members can be heard at the same time.

To start talking to other members of the pack, tap v or use the VOX.

Mute the pack

If for any reason you would like to mute the conversation but still remain a pack member, double-tap v. Tap v again to rejoin the conversation.

Leaving a pack

If your connection is lost for any reason, you will remain a member of the pack until your PACKTALK unit can reconnect to any of the other members of the pack. If you choose to leave the pack you can:

• Join a new pack

• Choose ‘Leave the Pack’ in the Advanced Features Menu in Standby mode

• Use the Cardo SmartSet App.

Rejoining a pack

If you have joined a dierent pack or chosen to leave a pack, and later wish to rejoin the

original pack, simply pair your unit with the Pack Creator again. If the Pack Creator is no

longer available, a new pack should be created and all members should pair again to the

new Pack Creator.

Create a pack

In DMC mode, press

for 5 seconds to enter intercom pairing mode.

While the LED is ashing, tap v to dene yourself as the Pack Creator.

Join a pack

English

6. USING A MOBILE PHONE, GPS OR MP3 PLAYER

To use a Bluetooth device with your scala rider PACKTALK you must rst pair them. Once

paired, they will automatically recognize each other whenever they are within range (10m / 33ft).

Your scala rider has two Bluetooth channels to connect mobile phones, GPS devices and

music players with A2DP.

6.1 PAIRING BLUETOOTH CHANNELS 1 AND 2

1. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone/GPS/MP3 player.

2. Check the unit is in Standby (single ash every 3 seconds).

3. To pair Bluetooth Channel 1 – press p for at least 5 seconds until the RED and BLUE LEDs begin rapidly alternating. To pair Bluetooth Channel 2 – press π for at least 5 seconds until the RED and BLUE LEDs begin rapidly alternating.

To pair a GPS, when LEDs begin rapidly alternating, roll the Z either forward or back.

4. Search for Bluetooth devices on your phone/GPS/MP3 player by following the device’s instructions.

5. After a few seconds the device will list “PACKTALK”. Select it.

6. If prompted for a PIN or Passkey, enter 0000 (four zeros).

7. The device will conrm that pairing has succeeded and your unit will return to Standby

mode, LED ashing once every 3 seconds.

8. If pairing is not completed within 2 minutes, the unit will return to Standby mode.

• If you have paired 2 dierent mobile phones directly to your scala rider, you will need to set one as default for making calls.

• If your GPS supports it, you can pair the second mobile phone directly to the GPS and then pair the GPS to your scala rider, and so connect both mobile phones and the GPS to your scala rider.

• Not all Bluetooth mobile phones broadcast Bluetooth Stereo music (A2DP), even if the phone has an MP3 player function. Consult your mobile phone’s User Manual for more information.

• Not all Bluetooth GPS devices allow connection to Bluetooth audio devices. Consult your GPS User Manual for more information.
