4.3 PARALLEL AUDIO STREAMING AND AUDIO SOURCE PRIORITIES
The scala rider PACKTALK can stream audio from two connected sources simultaneously,
so that you can listen to your music or the radio while holding an intercom conversation.
Parallel Audio Streaming is automatically disabled during mobile phone conversations.
By default, Parallel Audio Streaming is enabled. See section 3 to adjust the settings. If
disabled, the scala rider will automatically determine which audio source to play based
on the priority of the connected devices.
Higher Priority 1. Mobile Phone or GPS instructions*
2. Intercom (DMC and Bluetooth modes)
3. A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) audio
4. FM Radio (Built-in)
*GPS instructions from Smartphone GPS Apps are prioritized like A2DP audio
Lower Priority
A2DP audio priority can be congured to be higher than Intercom. See section 3 to adjust settings.
• Incoming mobile phone calls interrupt ongoing intercom calls
• Incoming intercom calls will interrupt FM radio
• Intercom modes all have the same priority - ongoing intercom calls will not be interrupted
by any other intercom call

5. INTERCOM
The scala rider PACKTALK is the world’s rst communication and entertainment system
to contain TWO intercom technologies that work to complement each other.
DMC™intercom mode enables large groups of riders to communicate via intercom
independently of each other, seamlessly and automatically adapting to rapid changes of
the group.
Bluetooth intercom mode is compatible with other scala rider intercom models, the
cardo SHO-1 and Schubert’s SRC-System™. Non-Cardo devices can connect via the Cardo
Gateway, allowing conversation between your PACKTALK and a non-Cardo brand of
Bluetooth intercom.
All intercom communication is full duplex with a range of up to 1 mile / 1.6 km (subject
to terrain and within line of sight). In DMC mode, intercom range can be extended to up
to 3 miles / 5 km in groups of 4 or more riders.
Intercom range with other models is limited to the distance of the device with the shorter
range.
For more info please visit www.cardosystems.com/PTcompatibility
Open the antenna for maximum range
To chat with someone via Intercom, rst pair your scala rider PACKTALK to the second unit.
Pairing is a one-time process. Once paired, the units should automatically recognize each
other whenever in range.

5.1 DMC INTERCOM MODE
The default intercom mode is Bluetooth Intercom. To switch to DMC intercom mode:
• Enter the Standby Feature menu and choose ‘Switch Intercom mode’
• Use the Voice Command (see section 4.4)
• Use the Cardo SmartSet App (see section 3.2)
Introduction
The scala rider PACKTALK uses DMC technology to create a spontaneous and uid virtual
network of riders. DMC enables simultaneous connectivity among a far greater number
of riders than the Bluetooth intercom mode.
How DMC technology works
In DMC intercom mode, each rider acts as an autonomous hub that maintains
simultaneous and independent communication links with each of the other members in
the pack, operating in a mesh network of PACKTALK users.
PACKTALK users may join, leave and rejoin the pack conversation without compromising
the integrity of the ongoing multi-point conference call among the other pack members.
Whenever a PACKTALK user cannot directly connect with pack members beyond his
intercom reach, it will re-adjust within split seconds and re-connect to the most suitable
other pack member in order to ‘leapfrog’ to the remote PACKTALK user.
Create a new pack and add members to the pack
In DMC mode, press vfor 5 seconds to enter intercom pairing mode. While the LED is
ashing, tap vto dene yourself as the “Pack Creator”. Your unit will then proceed to
search for pack members in DMC intercom pairing mode and automatically add them to
your pack. If no units are found within 2 minutes, your unit will return to Standby mode.
The process can also be done from the Advanced Features Menu in Standby mode and
via the Cardo SmartSet App.
Join an existing pack
Make sure your unit is in DMC intercom mode and that you are within 3 meters /10 ft. from
the Pack Creator. While the Pack Creator is in DMC Pairing mode, press vfor 5 seconds on
your unit. The LED will ash Purple to indicate that pairing with the Pack Creator has been
successful. The process can also be done from the Advanced Features Menu in Standby
mode and via the Cardo SmartSet App.
Using DMC intercom
Up to 10 riders can participate in a pack, with all pack members able to speak and hear
everyone else. To avoid confusion, only 4 members can be heard at the same time.
To start talking to other members of the pack, tap vor use the VOX.
Mute the pack
If for any reason you would like to mute the conversation but still remain a pack member,
double-tap v. Tap vagain to rejoin the conversation.
Leaving a pack
If your connection is lost for any reason, you will remain a member of the pack until your
PACKTALK unit can reconnect to any of the other members of the pack.
If you choose to leave the pack you can:
• Join a new pack
• Choose ‘Leave the Pack’ in the Advanced Features Menu in Standby mode
• Use the Cardo SmartSet App.

|
Rejoining a pack
If you have joined a dierent pack or chosen to leave a pack, and later wish to rejoin the
original pack, simply pair your unit with the Pack Creator again. If the Pack Creator is no
longer available, a new pack should be created and all members should pair again to the
new Pack Creator.
Create a pack In DMC mode, press vfor 5 seconds to enter intercom pairing mode.
While the LED is ashing, tap v to dene yourself as the Pack Creator.
Join a pack
While the Pack Creator is in Pairing mode, press vfor 5 seconds on your unit.

6. USING A MOBILE PHONE, GPS OR MP3 PLAYER
To use a Bluetooth device with your scala rider PACKTALK you must rst pair them. Once
paired, they will automatically recognize each other whenever they are within range
(10m / 33ft).
Your scala rider has two Bluetooth channels to connect mobile phones, GPS devices and
music players with A2DP.
6.1 PAIRING BLUETOOTH CHANNELS 1 AND 2
1. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone/GPS/MP3 player.
2. Check the unit is in Standby (single ash every 3 seconds).
3. To pair Bluetooth Channel 1 – press pfor at least 5 seconds until the RED and BLUE
LEDs begin rapidly alternating.
To pair Bluetooth Channel 2 – press πfor at least 5 seconds until the RED and BLUE
LEDs begin rapidly alternating.
To pair a GPS, when LEDs begin rapidly alternating, roll the Z either forward or back.
4. Search for Bluetooth devices on your phone/GPS/MP3 player by following the device’s
instructions.
5. After a few seconds the device will list “PACKTALK”. Select it.
6. If prompted for a PIN or Passkey, enter 0000 (four zeros).
7. The device will conrm that pairing has succeeded and your unit will return to Standby
mode, LED ashing once every 3 seconds.
8. If pairing is not completed within 2 minutes, the unit will return to Standby mode.
• If you have paired 2 dierent mobile phones directly to your scala rider, you will need to set one as
default for making calls.
• If your GPS supports it, you can pair the second mobile phone directly to the GPS and then pair the
GPS to your scala rider, and so connect both mobile phones and the GPS to your scala rider.
