Charging the Battery

Bluetooth Pairing

To enable communication and media playback, the SC1 system must be paired with your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled devices. Refer to the detailed pairing instructions in the full user manual for specific steps. While the system offers robust connectivity, re-pairing may be required after extended periods of inactivity or if the units are powered off.

Operating the System

Basic Controls

The SC1 system features integrated controls for various functions. These typically include buttons for power, volume adjustment, and mode selection. Familiarize yourself with the button layout and their corresponding functions before riding. Note that operating these controls, especially with heavy gloves, may require practice.

Intercom Communication

The SC1 supports intercom communication for up to 4 participants. The intercom working distance is greater than 1000 meters in optimal conditions. For carbon helmets, the effective distance is approximately 350 meters. Ensure all participants have their SC1 systems paired and within range for clear communication.

Maintenance

General Care and Cleaning

Keep the SC1 system clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the unit. The system is waterproof, but avoid submerging it in water.

Battery Life

The SC1 SRC Advanced offers a talk time of up to 14 hours and a standby time of 1 week. To maximize battery life, ensure the unit is fully charged before each use and powered off when not in use for extended periods.

Software Updates

Periodically check for and install software updates for your SC1 system. Updates can improve performance, add new features, and resolve potential issues. Refer to the SCHUBERTH website or the smartphone app for instructions on how to perform software updates.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Static Interference: If you experience static interference during communication, try moving to an area with less electromagnetic interference or restarting the system.
• Pairing Difficulties: If the system struggles to pair with devices, ensure both devices are in pairing mode and within close proximity. Try resetting the Bluetooth connection on both the SC1 and your device.
• Difficulty Answering Calls: The small size of the control buttons can make answering calls challenging, especially with gloves. Consider using voice commands (VOX) if enabled, or practice button operation in a stationary environment.
• Audio Quality: If audio quality is not optimal, ensure the speakers are correctly positioned within the helmet and that the volume is appropriately set.
