Pairing is a one time process that is required for mutual recognition between 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 additional 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.
PRIMARY BUDDY PAIRING (two scala rider Q2 pro headsets*)

This option has been successfully used for a range of high end helmets.
NOTE: While we have no reason to believe that the gluing option might negatively affect any helmet, Cardo does not assume any responsibility to that affect, irrespective of its nature and circumstances. The Glue Plate is offered as a free option that you may choose to use at your own risk and subject to renouncement of any future claims.

GETTING STARTED

ATTACHING THE CLAMP ON THE HELMET
The Helmet Clamp must be attached to the left side of the helmet. Once attached, the headset unit can be mounted or released from the Helmet Clamp at any time. If you wish to connect your MP3 player to your headset, please refer first to the assembly instructions listed in section: CONNECTING YOUR MP3 PLAYER TO YOUR HEADSET. There are two methods that can be used in order to attach the Clamp onto the helmet: Standard Method: Recommended for most helmet types. Glue Plate Method: Recommended for helmets to which the standard method cannot be applied, using the Glue Plate included in the box. Standard Method 1. Use the enclosed Allen Wrench to loosen the two screws on the Back Plate.
Caution: This process can be done only once! 1. Use the enclosed Allen Wrench to remove both Allen screws and release the Helmet Clamps back plate. 2. Determine the location on the helmet where the Helmet Clamp must be attached. 3. Adjust the Helmet Clamps location on the Helmet so that the microphone is located opposite your mouth. You may need to reposition the Clamp repeatedly until you identify the best spot. The microphone must be positioned vertically and

POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS

Attach the speakers to the Velcro inside your helmet opposite your ears (short speaker cord for the left ear [A] and the long speaker cord [B] for the right ear). You may want to use the supplied Velcro pad. Using two speakers inside the helmet may be prohibited in certain jurisdictions. If this is the case, you should tuck away the long corded speaker underneath the helmet padding as follows: Lead the speaker cord [B] alongside the rim of the padding to the right side and then back to the left side, near speaker [A]. Then place the speaker [B] underneath the padding.
