Cardo SCALA RIDER G4 - Manual (Page 14)

9. USING THE INTERCOM
Flip-up Antenna
for extended range
9.1 INTRODUCTION
The scala rider G4 PowerSet provides
you with an impressive Bike-to-Bike
Intercom range by simply flipping up
the antenna. The Flip-up antenna allows
you to maximize intercom range with
other bikers at up to 1 mile / 1.6 km
(subject to terrain). The antenna is also
useful when riding in dense urban environments that may affect the
transmission quality. You may keep the Flip-up Antenna open when not
using the intercom, even though there is no particular need to do so.
The scala rider G4 PowerSet package contains two factory-paired
G4 units. To set up additional Intercom Bluetooth connections, you
must first pair your G4 units with other devices. In this manual such
other devices will be referred to as CHANNEL “A” and CHANNEL “B”
respectively.
Pairing is a one-time process. Once completed, the units will remain paired
and automatically recognize each other whenever they are within range.
For details on Intercom use with other scala rider units, please refer to
section 9.11 below
Each G4 has two Intercom channels available for multiple
intercom connections. Therefore, one G4 can communicate
simultaneously with up to two other G4s. If one of these other
G4s is connected to yet another G4, then all four participants can
enter into a 4-way conference mode (see section 9.10c below).
9.2 BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
The G4 can also conduct Intercom communications with earlier
scala rider models in different configurations and you can always
change your preferences.
There are other scala rider models available that the G4 can connect
to, and each of these connections comes with specific characteristics
and / or limitations.
In terms of range, Intercom communications between the G4 and
another scala rider unit is limited to the distance of the lesser-range
device. For example, connecting the G4 with a Q2
pro
unit will enable
intercom distances of up to 2,300 ft / 700 m, which is the maximum
rated distance the Q2
pro
can achieve.
In the section below you can find out how to pair the G4
with other scala rider models. In addition, the G4 is also fully
compatible with the Schuberth SRC-System™. For details, visit

9.3 BEFORE STARTING THE INTERCOM
The G4 has two buttons designated for quick connection to two other
units. These other units are referred to as CHANNEL “A” and CHANNEL
“B”. In the following sections you will also learn how to add a third
participant and conduct an intercom conference.
