Cardo Q2 User Manual

Your two MultiSet units are already factory paired and ready for use. If 

for any reason, you have to pair them again, proceed as follows: 

1. If either headset is turned OFF, turn it ON by pressing and holding 

the CTRL Button until the Blue Light flashes three times.

2. Make sure that both headsets are now flashing slowly in Blue. 
3. Pick up one headset and simultaneously press and hold the CTRL 

Button and MC Button for at least six seconds until the Red Light 

begins flashing rapidly, indicating it is in Intercom Pairing mode.

4. Repeat Step 3 again for the second scala rider Q2 headset. Both 

headsets should now be flashing rapidly in Red.

5. Within a few seconds, both headsets will show a solid Red 

light for two seconds, and then begin flashing slowly in Blue.

NOTE: If the Pairing process is not completed within one 

minute the headset will return to Standby mode. 

In addition to the Primary Buddy pairing between the two units 

in your retail box you can pair your headset with the Secondary 

Buddy headset by repeating the above pairing procedure.

NOTE: Your headset can communicate with either the Primary 

Buddy or the Secondary Buddy. However, neither 

the Primary Buddy nor the Secondary Buddy can 

communicate among each other directly via Intercom.

NOTE: If the Pairing process is not completed within one 
minute the headset will return to Standby mode. 

There are two ways that the scala rider Q2 can be used for Driver-to-

Passenger communication.

A. Both Rider and Passenger are using scala rider Q2 headsets (like 

the two units in your retail package).

B. The Rider is using a scala rider Q2 and the Passenger is using an 

earlier scala rider headset  (i.e. a scala rider Solo, a scala rider 

FM or a scala rider TeamSet Driver unit headset).

1. Starting with the earlier scala rider headset turned OFF, press 

and hold the CTRL button until the Red/Blue lights begin 

rapidly alternating.

2. Starting with the scala rider Q2 turned ON, simultaneously 

press and hold the CTRL Button and MC Button for six 

seconds until the Red light begins flashing rapidly, indicating it 

is in Intercom Pairing mode. 

3. Within a few seconds, the scala rider Q2 will show a solid Red 

light for two seconds, and then begin flashing slowly in Blue.

NOTE: If the Pairing process is not completed within one minute the 

headset will return to Standby mode.

NOTE: When using an earlier scala rider headset as a Passenger head-

set, Voice Connect Intercom can be initiated only by the scala 

rider Q2 headset.  Manual Connect Intercom can be initiated 

from either headset by pressing the MC button for scala rider 
Q2 and CTRL button for any earlier scala rider headset.

You can delete all of the headset’s Intercom pairings at any time.
