IMPORTANT
The scala-rider TeamSet is a water-resistant device, designed for use
under moderate rain or snow conditions. However, the headset is not
waterproof and should not be used under severe weather conditions.
The cover tongue protecting the Charging Jack should be kept tightly
closed at all times to prevent moisture from entering the device.
BEFORE USING (CHARGING THE HEADSET)
Make sure that both headsets are fully charged for at least 5 hours
before initial use.
1. Connect the wall charger to the headset’s Charging Jack (located
between the two Volume buttons).

seconds until the red Status Light illuminates). When charging is
complete the Status Light will turn off.

TURNING THE DRIVER HEADSET ON FOR THE FIRST TIME
The driver unit (yellow logo): The driver unit permits two communication
modes:
• Mobile Phone connections with third parties
• Intercom connection with the passenger
In order for the headset to work with your cellular phone, they must first
recognize each other. This process is called “pairing”, and only needs
to be performed once for each phone.
1. Turn on your phone and make sure its Bluetooth function is activated.
2. With the headset turned off, press and hold the Control Button for ten
seconds until the red and blue Status Lights begin flashing.
3. Search for Bluetooth devices on your phone by following the phone’s
instructions.
4. After a few seconds the phone will list the scala-rider TeamSet as
a discovered device. Select it and follow your phone’s instructions to
accept the pairing.
5. When prompted enter 0000 (four zeros) as your PIN or passkey.
6. Your phone will confirm that pairing has succeeded.
Note: If pairing is not completed within two minutes the headset will
return to Standby mode.
Your headset can pair with up to eight phones, and will automatically
connect to the last phone connected to the headset.

The Passenger Unit (green logo): This unit is solely intended for intercom
connection with the driver and it cannot initiate or receive a phone call.
To turn on the Passenger Unit, press the Control Button until the blue
Status Light illuminates.
NOTE: The Driver and Passenger Units are already factory-synchronized
for Intercom communication with each other, and do not require any
synchronization by you.
SYNCHRONIZING INTERCOM BETWEEN THE PASSENGER AND
DRIVER HEADSETS
The two headset units (Driver and Passenger units) are supplied factory
synchronized for Intercom communication with each other. Therefore,
you do not need to perform the synchronization between these devices.
However, if you have purchased these units separately and not in the
TeamSet Retail box, you need to synchronize the devices yourself by
proceeding as follows:
1. Simultaneously press and hold the Intercom Buttons of both devices for
at least 10 seconds while watching the Status Light on the Passenger unit.
2. Once the Status Light on the Passenger unit lights steady red, wait three
seconds and then release both Intercom Buttons.
3. If successful, the steady red Status light on the Passenger unit will switch
to a steady blue light for a few seconds, then begin flashing blue. Your
two headsets are now synchronized for Intercom communication.
4. If the synchronization has failed, the steady red Status light on the
Passenger unit will turn off without switching to steady blue for a few
seconds, and you must repeat the synchronization procedure.
