11 UNIVERSAL INTERCOM
You can have an intercom conversation with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets using the Universal Intercom function. Non-Sena
Bluetooth headsets can be connected to the Sena Bluetooth headset if they support the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP).
The working distance may differ depending on the performance of Bluetooth headset that it is connected to. In general, it is
shorter than normal intercom distance since it uses the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile. The Universal Intercom affects both the
phone call connection and the multipoint connection (devices paired via Second Mobile Phone Pairing). You cannot use a
multipoint connection device while you are using the Universal Intercom in case as below.
1. If a non-Sena headset does not support a multipoint connection, it cannot use a phone call connection while using the
Universal Intercom.
2. As for Sena headsets, the Universal Intercom affects the multipoint connection.
3. If non-Sena headset (already paired as Universal Intercom with Sena) is turned on, then the multipoint connection is
automatically deactivated. And the non-Sena headset is automatically connected to Sena headset as a Universal Intercom.
So you cannot use multipoint connection devices, while a non-Sena headset is turned on.
4. Even though you disconnect the non-Sena headset as a Universal Intercom, it will not automatically restore the multipoint
connection. To restore the multipoint connection, you should turn off the non-Sena headset first, then try to connect to
multipoint device manually from the device screen or simply reboot the device so that it automatically connects to the Sena
headset.
11.1 Universal Intercom Pairing
The Tufttalk can be paired with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets for Bluetooth intercom conversation. You can pair the Tufttalk
with only one non-Sena Bluetooth headset so if you pair with a different non-Sena Bluetooth headset, the previous pairing will
be removed.
1. Turn on the Tufttalk and a non-Sena Bluetooth headset that you want to pair with.
2. Press the Jog Dial for 8 seconds to enter into Universal Intercom Pairing mode and the blue LED will flash rapidly and you
will hear multiple beeps.
3. Perform the operation required for handsfree pairing on the non-Sena Bluetooth headset (refer to the User’s Guide for the
headsets you want to use). The Tufttalk will automatically pair with a non-Sena Bluetooth headset when each are in pairing
mode.
11.2 Two-way Universal Intercom
You can initiate the Universal Intercom connection with non-Sena Bluetooth headsets using the same intercom connection
method as you would between other Sena headsets. You may single tap the Jog Dial to begin an intercom conversation with
the first intercom friend, double tap with the second intercom friend, and triple tap with the third intercom friend.
Non-Sena Bluetooth headsets may initiate the Universal Intercom connection, by activating the voice dialer or using the
redialing operation. You may also disconnect the existing connection by using the operation to end a call (refer to the User’s
Guide of the headsets for voice dialer, redialing, and ending a call).
11.3 Three-way Universal Intercom
You may make a three-way Universal Intercom connection with two Tufttalks and one non-Sena Bluetooth headset. If the
