5.2 Intercom Functions

The V6 Plus supports up to 6 riders for connection, with 2 riders able to talk in full duplex at the same time. The main device can be paired with up to 5 sub-devices. The main device can then select one sub-device (A, B, C, D, or E) to communicate with.

Figure 7: Multi-User Intercom System.

Figure 8: Normal and Private Intercom Modes.

1. Pairing with a Sub-Device (e.g., Device A):
   - Long press the MOTOR button on the main device and the MOTOR button on Device A simultaneously for about 5 seconds. Both devices' red and blue lights will flash.
   - Once they find each other, one device will automatically initiate a pairing connection, and the blue light will flash quickly.
   - After a short while, the blue lights on both devices will flash slowly simultaneously, indicating successful pairing and normal communication.
   - To pair the next sub-device, first press the MOTOR button on the main device to disconnect from the current sub-device.
2. Pairing with Other Sub-Devices (B, C, D, E):
   - The pairing process for devices B, C, D, and E is similar to Device A. Instead of the MOTOR button, you will use the corresponding B, C, D, or E button on both the main device and the sub-device you wish to pair.
   - For example, to pair with Device B, long press the B button on the main device and the B button on Device B simultaneously for about 5 seconds.

Important: The main device cannot communicate with all 5 sub-devices simultaneously. It can only select one sub-device at a time for communication. Use the MOTOR/B/C/D/E buttons on the main device to switch between paired sub-devices. The other five sub-devices cannot communicate directly with each other.

Note: Once paired, you do not need to re-pair the devices for subsequent use. Simply press the corresponding MOTOR/B/C/D/E button on the main device to connect and talk.

The V6 Plus is designed to be compatible with most other brands of Bluetooth intercom headsets on the market, allowing for flexible group communication.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Common Issues and Solutions

• Pairing Failure:
  - Ensure both devices are in pairing mode (red and blue lights flashing alternately).
  - Clear previous pairings by pressing the Phone button and B button simultaneously until the indicator flashes red three times and blue once.
  - If using an older version of the machine as the main unit, it may not successfully pair with a newer version. The newer version must be used as the main machine for successful pairing with an older version.
• No Sound or Poor Audio Quality:
  - Check if the headset jack is fully inserted into the Type-C port.
  - Ensure speakers are correctly positioned inside the helmet, close to your ears.
  - Verify volume levels on both the intercom and your connected phone/GPS.
  - If the microphone or headphones stop working, contact customer support for potential replacement parts.
• Intercom Disconnection:
  - Ensure you are within the effective intercom range (up to 1200M, typically 300-800M outdoors).
  - Obstacles like buildings or dense terrain can reduce range. Use in open areas for optimal performance.
  - If the connection drops, try re-establishing by pressing the corresponding pairing button (MOTOR/B/C/D/E) on the main unit.
• Cannot Connect to Other Brands:
  - While the V6 Plus supports universal pairing, compatibility can vary. Ensure the other brand's intercom is in its universal pairing mode.

9. Safety Precautions

1. Waterproofing: Ensure the headphone jack is fully inserted into the device, especially in rainy conditions, to prevent water ingress.
2. Charging: Always use the standard DC5V/1A charger to ensure battery longevity and safety.
3. Riding Safety: For your safety, it is not recommended to listen to music while riding, as it may distract you from your surroundings.
4. Manual Operation: Avoid manually operating the device buttons while riding. Focus on the road and your surroundings.
5. Communication Distance: For optimal communication range, it is recommended to use the intercom in open areas with minimal obstructions.
