4.2.2 3-WAY AND 4-WAY BLUETOOTH INTERCOM CALLS
In addition to standard 2-way Bluetooth intercom calls, you can use the TERRANO XT for 3-way and 4-way
Bluetooth intercom calls on Terrano and non-Terrano devices. TERRANO XT allows full-duplex Bluetooth
intercom communication for up to 4 riders to communicate up to 1.2 km / 3,900 ft in line of sight (subject to
terrain).
In a 3-way Bluetooth intercom call, you are connected to two riders, and each of those riders are connected only
to you. You can call either of the two. If you are already in a Bluetooth intercom call with one rider, just add
another. All three riders are now connected in a 3-way Bluetooth intercom call.
10

In a 4-way intercom conference call, for example, you are connected to three riders, who may also be connected
to an additional rider. You are directly connected to Rider 1 and Rider 2, and connected to Rider 3 through Rider
2's free channel. All four riders are now all connected in a 4-way Bluetooth intercom call.
Terrano recommends that during a 3-way or 4-way intercom conference call, riders be connected to only one
Bluetooth intercom call 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.
For information on making Bluetooth intercom calls, see Using the Bluetooth Intercom on page 11

5.1 SETTING THE DEFAULT MOBILE PHONE
If you paired your unit to two mobile phones, you must set one of them as the default phone for outgoing calls.
To set the default phone:
●During a mobile call, press for 5 seconds.
5.2 USING PARALLEL AUDIO STREAMING
With parallel audio streaming, you can hear audio instructions during a mobile or Bluetooth intercom call, or while
listening to other audio sources, such as music or FM radio.
Limitations may apply when using certain iOS devices.
Your TERRANO XT sets the various audio sources to either foreground (volume remains the same) or
background (volume reduced) as described in the following table:
Mobile Phone 1/2 Audio

1If you add an intercom call to a mobile phone call creating a conference call, the volume for both audio sources is
the same.
2If you make two intercom calls simultaneously creating an intercom conference call, the volume for both audio
sources is the same.
3If you make two intercom calls simultaneously creating an intercom conference call, you cannot hear the mobile
phone or audio instructions.
4If you play music only, the music volume is not reduced.
5If you play the FMradio only, the FM radio volume is not reduced.
In some cases, parallel audio streaming may not work properly due connected device limitations (music player
or GPS navigator).
Terrano recommends that during a 3-way or 4-way Bluetooth intercom conference call, the rider who is
connected to only one intercom call listens for mobile phone and GPS announcements.
You cannot use music sharing for voice audio with riders during parallel audio streaming.

5.3 AUDIO SOURCE PRIORITIES
If Parallel Audio Streaming is disabled, TERRANO XT manages the audio sources you hear through the
speakers according to the following audio source priorities.
Priority Audio Source
Higher Priority
↑
Lower Priority
Mobile phone, GPS device instructions
Intercom or Music1
Music or Intercom
FM Radio
1When audio priority is set to Intercom, you cannot hear navigation app or SMS messages from your phone
during an ongoing intercom call.
2When audio priority is set to A2DP (music), the intercom is disabled while listening to music (via A2DP). A rider
calling you by intercom hears a sound indicating you are not available.
●Intercom modes all have the same priority, so ongoing intercom calls will not be interrupted by any other
intercom call.
If you paired your unit to two mobile phones (see Setting the Default Mobile Phone on page 18), music will be
shared from the mobile phone through which you last played music.
When sharing FM radio (see Sharing Music and Radio on page 16), either rider can change station and
Intercom.
