Introduction
The scala rider SMARTPACK uses
DMC
technology to create a spontaneous and fluid
virtual network of riders.
DMC
provides a more stable connection in a group of riders
than the
Bluetooth
intercom mode.
In
DMC
intercom mode, each rider acts as an autonomous hub that maintains
simultaneous and independent communication links with each of the other members
in the pack, operating in a mesh network.
Members may join, leave and rejoin the pack conversation without compromising the
integrity of the ongoing multi-point conference call among the other pack members.
Whenever a SMARTPACK user cannot directly connect with pack members beyond
his intercom reach, it will re-adjust within split seconds and re-connect to the most
suitable other pack member in order to ‘leapfrog’ to the remote member.
Create a new pack
The easiest way to create a new pack is via the
Cardo SmartSet
App, or from the
Advanced Features Menu in Standby mode.
Alternatively, in
DMC
mode, press
v
for 5 seconds to enter intercom grouping mode.
While the LED is flashing, tap
v
to define yourself as the “Pack Creator”. Your unit
will then proceed to search for pack members in
DMC
intercom grouping mode and
automatically add them to your pack. If no units are found within 2 minutes, your unit
will return to Standby mode.
The SMARTPACK is limited to a maximum of 4 people in DMC intercom mode.
A pack can only have one “Pack Creator”. The pack can still continue to function even if the
Pack Creator is no longer available.
