8 1-On-1 Intercom Headset Pairing and Usage
Two ALOHA headsets must be paired for 1-on-1 intercom.
Each ALOHA can connect to 3 (at most) other ALOHA headsets for 1-on-1
intercom. The three ALOHA headsets will be defined, according to the
reverse time order they were paired, as: (i.e., the most recently paired has
the highest priority)
first priority: “Comm A1”, second priority: “Comm A2”, and third priority:
“Comm A3”。

8.1 1-on-1 Intercom Pairing
1. Press [A] on ALOHA#1 in ON state until the LED flashes green rapidly.
2. Press [M] on ALOHA#2 in ON state until the LED flashes red/blue rapidly.
The two headsets automatically start pairing steps 2, 3. When the LED
on both headset flashes in a blue-blue-green pattern and both headsets
hear the voice notification “Comm A Paired", the pairing is successful,
and both headsets are ready for intercom.
。
3. After pairing, ALHOA#1 places ALOHA#2 as its first priority (A1). If
ALHOA#1 paired with other headsets earlier, the previously A1 will be
pushed back as A2, and previously A2 becomes A3 and the previously
A3 will no longer be recorded.
4. Also, after pairing, ALHOA#2 places ALOHA#1 as its first priority (A1). If
ALHOA#2 paired with other headsets earlier, the previously A1 will be
pushed back as A2, and previously A2 becomes A3 and the previously
A3 will no longer be recorded.
EXAMPLE:
For 5 ALHOA headsets:

1. ALHOA#1 first pairs with ALHOA#5, then pairs with ALOHA#4,
ALOHA#3 and ALOHA#2, all for 1-on-1 intercom pairing.
At this point, for ALHOA#1, A1 refers to ALHOA#2, A2 refers to
ALOHA#3, and A3 refers to ALOHA #4. ALOHA#5 is no longer in
ALOHA#1’s 1-on-1 intercom pairing list.
2. If ALOHA#3 pairs with ALOHA#5 after paired with ALOHA#1 for 1-on-1
intercom, at this point for ALOHA#3, A1 refers to ALOHA#5 and A2 refers
to ALOHA#1.
8.2 1-on-1 Intercom Usage
Paired ALOHA headsets for 1-on-1 intercom can start intercom transmission in
two modes:
Manual mode and VOX mode.
The default mode when ALOHA headsets are shipped is manual mode. When
ALOHA is powered on, the user will hear “VOX sensitivity Manual Mode”
8.2.1 Manual Mode for starting 1-on-1 Intercom:
The ALOHA headsets already paired for 1-on-1 intercom can use [A] to select
one of the three headsets recorded in the list, as follows:
Press [A] once to start 1-on-1 intercom with A1; press [A] twice to start 1-on-1
intercom with A2; and press [A] three times to start 1-on-1 intercom with A3.

Example:
For 5 ALHOA headsets:
1. ALHOA#1 first pairs with ALHOA#5, then pairs with ALOHA#4, ALOHA#3
and ALOHA#2, all for 1-on-1 intercom pairing.
At this point, for ALHOA#1, A1 refers to ALHOA#2, A2 refers to
ALOHA#3, and A3 refers to ALOHA #4. ALOHA#5 is no longer in
ALOHA#1’s 1-on-1 intercom pairing list.
2. If ALOHA#3 pairs with ALOHA#5 after paired with ALOHA#1 for 1-on-1
intercom, at this point for ALOHA#3, A1 refers to ALOHA#5 and A2 refers
to ALOHA#1.
For ALHOA#1 to start 1-on-1 intercom with ALHOA#3, press [A] rapidly
twice. ALHOA#1 will hear voice notification “Comm A2 selected”.
At this point, if ALOHA#3 is within intercom distance of ALOHA#1 and is
currently engaged in cell phone or intercom with another headset,
ALOHA#1 will hear the voice notification "Party occupied", and ALOHA#3
will hear “Missed A1 page”.
If ALOHA#3 is within intercom distance of ALOHA#1 and is not engaged in
cell phone or intercom with another headset, both ALOHA#1 and
