2. ABOUT DMCTECHNOLOGY
Your SMARTHfeatures two distinct intercom communication modes: the traditional Bluetooth protocol and the
unique DMC* technology.
Use Bluetooth to connect to devices, such as your smartphone or GPS, or to communicate with riders with headsets
that don't include DMC technology. However, when connected to other DMC- powered riders, you will soon learn
that it is by far the most advanced way to communicate in a group of three or more riders. In DMC mode you will
instantly create a dynamically-fluid network of riders to communicate in full conference mode. Unlike Bluetooth, DMC
allows anyone in the group to roam freely, overtake each other or even leave the group altogether, without affecting
the ongoing conversations of the remaining fellow riders.
How Does It Work?
Any member can start a new DMC group. When in DMC mode, the group creator's device will search for other riders
in DMC intercom mode within range and automatically add them to the group.
When using DMC intercom mode, whenever group members exceed range with each other, they are automatically
re-connected within split seconds to a closer group member in order to "leapfrog" to the remote rider. This way,
everyone remains connected to everyone else.
Other riders can join, leave, and rejoin existing DMC groups without affecting the ongoing conversation among the
other group members.

3. CHARGING THE SMARTH
Make sure that your SMARTHbattery is charged for at least 4 hours before initial use.
To charge the SMARTH:
1. Using the supplied USB cable, connect your computer or wall charger to the SMARTHUSBport.
●Charging with the wall charger is faster than via a computer USB port.
●Charging your unit switches it off automatically. To use your unit while it is being charged, switch it on. (see
Switching Your Unit On/Off on page 8).
During charging, the LED indicates charging status as follows:
●red LED on - charging
●red LED off - charging complete

5. SETTING UP AND USING DMC INTERCOM GROUPS
You can manage DMC intercom groups to suit your riding requirements, such as creating groups, joining groups, leave
and rejoin groups or change your active group.
DMC intercom groups are created and deleted by a group creator. Each group can have up to four riders: one group
creator and a maximum of three group members.
Through the SmartSet app, group creators can manage up to six groups simultaneously, and group members can join
up to six groups, with one group active at a time.
When creating a group, all members should be within 3 meters / 10 feet of the creator. The group continues
functioning even if the creator is no longer available.
If a rider's connection is lost, the rider remains part of the group and reconnects automatically once in range.
If you purchased the SMARTHDUO, the retail package contains two units belonging to the same DMC intercom
group.
5.1 CREATING DMC INTERCOM GROUPS
When creating a DMC group, you must coordinate with the other riders who will be the group creator. The group
creator then creates the group (as defined following), and once it is created, the other riders join the created group as

6. PAIRING THE BLUETOOTH INTERCOM
To connect your unit to another unit with a Bluetooth intercom, you must first pair their channels. Once paired, the
units automatically recognize each other whenever they are in range (line of sight up to 1.2 km / 3,900 ft subject to
terrain).
●Pairing a channel replaces any existing paired unit on that channel with the new unit.
●If you purchased the SMARTHDUO, the retail package contains two pre-paired units in DMC mode.
●The Intercom range with other models is limited to the distance of the unit with the shorter range.
For details on how to pair and use your SMARTHwith other Cardo units, go to
www.cardosystems.com/smarthcomcompatibility.
6.1 3-WAY AND 4-WAY BLUETOOTH INTERCOM CALLS
In addition to standard 2-way Bluetooth intercom calls, you can use the SMARTHfor 3-way and 4-way Bluetooth
intercom calls on Cardo and non-Cardo units. SMARTHallows full-duplex Bluetooth intercom communication for up to
3 riders or 4 riders/passengers to communicate up to 1.2 km / 3,900 ft in line of sight (subject to terrain).
In a 3-way Bluetooth intercom, you are connected to two riders/passengers and each of those riders are connected
only to you. You can call each of the two riders/passengers. If you are already in a Bluetooth intercom call with one
rider/passenger, just add another. All three riders/passengers are now connected in a 3-way Bluetooth intercom call.
In a 4-way intercom conference call, there are two pairs of riders. In each pair, the riders are connected to each other
through channel A. In each pair, one of the riders (riders 2 and 3 in the figure below) is also connected to a rider in the
other pair through channel B. All four riders are now all connected in a 4-way Bluetooth intercom call.
15

Cardo recommends that during a 3-way or 4-way intercom conference call, a rider that is using mobile phone or
GPS navigation should be connected to only one Bluetooth intercom call (riders 1 and 4 in the above diagram) so
they can continue to hear mobile phone and GPS announcements.
Using parallel audio streaming, you can also speak on a 3-way or 4-way Bluetooth intercom call while listening to FM
radio. The Bluetooth intercom volume remains the same while the FM radio plays at a reduced volume in the
background.
