GETTING STARTED 4.1 INSTALLATION Cardo SmartSet App 5 4.2 GENERAL FUNCTIONS Power ON Power OFF Volume Press 3 BLUE flashes with ascending tone for 2 seconds In Standby, press for 2 seconds 3 RED flashes with descending tone Tap a or a to adjust and set volume of current audio source 4.4 AUDIO SOURCES AND PRIORITIES If two connected audio sources try to play audio simultaneously, your SRC-System automatically determines which audio source to play through the speakers based on the priority of the connected devices. Higher Priority Lower Priority 1. Mobile Phone audio or GPS instructions*
2. Intercom / Click-to-Link 3. A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) audio
* GPS instructions from Smartphone GPS Apps are prioritized like A2DP audio Mute / Unmute Tap a and a simultaneously For example:
Enable / Disable VOX (For Intercom calls only) In standby, press a and a simultaneously for 2 seconds ENABLED: Blue flash for 2 seconds DISABLED: Red flash for 2 seconds 4.3 STATUS LIGHTS None 1 BLUE flash every 3 seconds SRC-System is OFF Standby mode No active audio sources 2 BLUE flashes every 3 seconds Active mode Call in progress / music or other audio source is ON 1 RED flash every 3 seconds Standby mode Battery is low 2 RED flashes every 3 seconds Active mode Battery is low Solid RED Charging Incoming mobile phone calls interrupt ongoing intercom calls Incoming intercom calls will interrupt ongoing A2DP music Intercom and Click-to-Link calls have the same priority. So Click-to-Link calls will not interrupt any Intercom call in progress, and vice-versa. A2DP audio priority can be configured higher than Intercom audio priority see section 3. 4.5 VOICE CONNECT (VOX) SETTINGS Your SRC-System offers VOX technology for safe and hands-free operation of some key functions. The VOX can be customized to adjust its sensitivity level. VOX activation for Intercom calls can also be disabled completely. You can choose between High, Medium (default) and Low VOX sensitivity. If you experience difficulties starting a conversation using VOX, change setting to High. If VOX keeps starting calls involuntarily, change setting to Low. 6 5. INTERCOM The SRC-System allows Bike-to-Bike and Rider-to-Passenger full-
duplex intercom communication at a range of up to 500m. To chat via Intercom, you must first pair your SRC-System to the second device. Pairing is a one-time process. Once paired, the two units will automatically recognize each other whenever in range. 5.1 INTERCOM COMPATIBILITY Your SRC-System is compatible with all Schuberth SRC-Systems. In addition, it is also compatible with the scala rider line of intercom models. Range is limited to the distance of the device with the shorter range. For details of which scala rider models are compatible, and how to pair and use your SRC-System with other models, please visit www.cardosystems.com/SRC. 5.2 PAIRING THE INTERCOM CHANNEL Pairing will replace any existing paired device with the new device.

For improved performance, minimize the wind impact on the microphones by closing the visor. 5.4 RECEIVING INTERCOM CALLS If a paired rider tries calling you via Intercom, the call will begin almost instantly To receive a CTL intercom call see table in section 5.6 5.5 BUSY SIGNAL A busy signal will be heard when attempting to establish an Intercom call with another device that is already on a phone or intercom call. 7 5.6 CLICK-TO-LINK INTERCOM (CTL) Click-to-Link is the spontaneous, social feature of your SRC-System. Use Click-to-Link to make intercom calls with other riders nearby without pre-pairing. Click-to-Link can be disabled on your unit effectively blocking any attempt by others to make Click-to-Link calls to you. Start a CTL call request
(search lasts up to 10 seconds) In standby, tap simultaneously and a End a CTL call /
