Cardo G4 - Manual (Page 14)

9. USING THE INTERCOM
Flip-up Antenna
for extended range
9.1 INTRODUCTION
The G4 provides you with an
impressive Bike-to-Bike Intercom
range by simply flipping up the
antenna. The Flip-up antenna allows
you to maximize intercom range with
other bikers at up to 1 mile / 1.6 km
(subject to terrain). The antenna is also
useful when riding in dense urban environments that may affect the
transmission quality. You may keep the Flip-up Antenna open when
not using the intercom, even though there is no particular need to
do so.
To set up one or two Intercom Bluetooth connections, you must
first pair your G4 with the other devices. In this manual such other
devices will be referred to as CHANNEL “A” and CHANNEL “B”
respectively.
Pairing is a one-time process. Once completed, the G4s will remain
paired and automatically recognize each other whenever they are
within range.
For details on Intercom use with other scala rider units, please refer to
section 9.11 below
The G4 has two Intercom channels available for multiple intercom
connections. Therefore, your G4 can communicate simultaneously
with up to two other G4s. If one of these other G4s is connected
to yet another G4, then all four participants can enter into a 4-way
conference mode (see section 9.10c below).
9.2 BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
The G4 can also conduct Intercom communications with earlier
scala rider models in different configurations and you can always
change your preferences.
There are other scala rider models available that your G4 can
connect to, and each of these connections comes with specific
characteristics and / or limitations.
In terms of range, Intercom communications between your G4 and
another scala rider unit is limited to the distance of the lesser-range
device. For example, connecting your G4 with a Q2
pro
unit will
enable intercom distances of up to 2,300 ft / 700 m, which is the
maximum rated distance the Q2
pro
can achieve.
In the section below you can find out how to pair your G4
with other scala rider models. In addition, the G4 is also fully
compatible with the Schuberth SRC-System™. For details, visit

9.3 BEFORE STARTING THE INTERCOM
The G4 has two buttons designated for quick connection to two other
units. These other units are referred to as CHANNEL “A” and CHANNEL
“B”. In the following sections you will also learn how to add a third
participant and conduct an intercom conference.
