SETUP AND CONFIGURATION |  

NOTE: 

When using a scala-rider Headset as a Passenger headset, Voice 

Connect Intercom can be initiated only by the Cardo Rider Q2 headset. 

Manual Connect Intercom can be initiated from either headset.

Failed Connection: 

On the Cardo Rider Q2, if you attempt to start 

a Buddy Intercom call with a Buddy that is already on a Phone/GPS/

Intercom call, you will hear a double beep indicating the Buddy is busy.

Reconnecting the Intercom: 

If the Cardo Rider Q2 and its Intercom 

Buddy headset go out of range and disconnect from each other, the 

Cardo Rider Q2 will automatically try to reconnect to its Intercom Buddy 

for five minutes.
You can 

manually reconnect

 at any time by pressing the MC Button 

(single tap for Primary Buddy and double tap for Secondary Buddy).

Receiving Intercom calls

If you are not speaking with any one, once the other party tries to initiate 

a Buddy Intercom call, the call will begin immediately.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE INTERCOM: 
First, make sure your microphone is located properly in front of 

the center of your mouth.
The Cardo Rider Q2 is designed for use in loud environments. 

Please make sure to test the Intercom functionality in a LOUD 

environment, such as next to an idling motorcycle.
Please also verify that the headsets were paired together properly 

by following the instructions in the relevant Setup sections.

Setting Voice Connect Intercom preference (Primary vs. Secondary 

Buddy)

Intercom call by simply speaking into the microphone. You can define
