1. While both G4 headsets are turned OFF, turn them ON by pressing and 

holding their Mobile Button until their Blue Lights flash three times.

2. Make sure that both headsets are now flashing slowly in Blue. 

NOTE: Selecting a CHANNEL that is already in use will override the paired 

headset on that CHANNEL with the newly paired headset.

3. On the first G4 headset, press and hold the CHANNEL “A” BUTTON 

for at least six seconds until the headset’s BLUE or RED Light begins 

flashing rapidly, indicating it is in Intercom Pairing mode.

4. Repeat Step 3 for the second headset.

5. Within a few seconds, both headsets will show a solid light for two 

seconds, indicating that the two headsets are now paired, con-

nected and ready for use.

NOTE: If the Pairing process is not completed within two minutes the 

headset will return to Standby mode.

Initiate Intercom calls

There are two ways to start an 

Intercom

 call with your paired headset 

while the headset is in Standby mode:

VOICE CONNECT:
Start talking loudly

Once you start talking loudly, an Intercom call will 

be established with the other paired headset. 

The Intercom call will stay on until all partici-

pants remain silent for 30 seconds.

CHANNEL BUTTON 

CONNECT:
Tap the chosen 

CHANNEL Button once

 

to add or remove the 

other headset from an 

Intercom call.

9.10b. THREE-WAY INTERCOM

Adding a third G4 unit to your 

PowerSet

 headsets, allows you to 

conduct 3 way intercom conference calls as follows:

First G4 unit

Rider  “A”

Third G4 Headset

Rider  “C”

Second G4 unit

Rider  “B”

In this configuration Rider “B” is paired to Rider “A” 

and

 to Rider “C”.

IMPORTANT: Since Rider “B” uses two 

Bluetooth

 connections during the 

conference mode, Rider “B” will be disconnected from the mobile phone 

or GPS device until the conference mode is terminated. Upon termination, 

Rider “B” will automatically re-connect to his mobile phone or GPS. Rider 

“A” and “C” remain connected to their mobile phones or GPS devices during 

the 3-way intercom call.

To add a third G4 unit to your 

PowerSet

 headsets, you will need to desig-

nate one of the two factory paired headsets to serve as Rider “B” (see 

diagram above). Since the factory paired units use Channel “A”, you must 

now pair the designated Rider “B” with the third G4 unit (Rider “C”).
