4.4 SOFTWARE UPGRADES AND SETTINGS
To make the most of your G4, make sure that it is

running the latest software. To download the latest

software updates and take advantage of customizing

settings via the computer, register online at:

www.cardosystems.com/download/softwareupgrade and have your

product serial number ready.
After downloading the Cardo Upgrades program, use the USB cable

included in the retail box to connect the G4 to your computer.
Once connected to your computer, you will easily be able to customize

the settings on your G4 following the on-screen instructions.
Future software upgrades and program patches will ensure the software

of your G4 is kept up-to-date and will include additional features, status

announcements and other valuable functions.
Please note that until further notice, upgrades will only be available for

Windows® based PCs running Windows XP™, Vista™ or Windows 7™

operating systems.
4.5 RESETTING THE G4
If the G4 fails to respond despite repeated attempts, you can reset it

by simply charging it. After approximately 10 seconds, remove the G4

from the charger and turn it on again. Your G4 should now respond

as expected.

5. GETTING STARTED

5.1 MOUNTING THE G4 ON A HELMET
The Helmet clamp that includes your microphone and speakers

must first be mounted on the helmet. Once mounted, the G4 unit

can be attached or detached from the clamp at any time (sec. 5.4).
There are two methods that can be used to attach the clamp to the

helmet:
Standard Method: Recommended for most helmet types.
Glue Plate Method: Recommended for helmets

to which the standard method cannot be applied,

using the Glue Plate included in the box.

Glue Plate

Standard Method: Fastening the Clamp to the Helmet 

1. Use the enclosed Allen Wrench to loosen

the two screws on the Back Plate.

2. Slide the Back Plate between the internal

padding and the external shell of the helmet.

3. Adjust the clamp’s location so that the

microphone is located in front of the center of

your mouth, and then tighten the screws. You

may need to reposition the Clamp repeatedly

until you identify the best spot.

If you have purchased a helmet clamp version with

the corded microphone, please refer to section 5.2.
Glue Plate Method: 
You have the option to glue the Helmet Clamp onto your helmet

when the above standard method cannot be used, or if you prefer to

secure the Helmet Clamp with adhesive glue.

Caution: This process can be done only once!
