STEP 1

SET UP FOR BIKE-TO-BIKE INTERCOM: PAIRING

Pairing is a one time process that is required for mutual recognition be- tween a headset and other Bluetooth devices. Once the two headsets are paired, they will remain paired and automatically recognize each other whenever they are within range. The two headsets in your retail box are already factory paired and relate to each other as the Primary Buddy connection. In addition, each unit can be paired with an addi- tional SCALA RIDER headset for Intercom communication. Please note that you can speak via Intercom to one Buddy headset at a time.

NOTE: This Manual refers to the Intercom users and other parties as: Primary Buddy and Secondary Buddy.
