We recommend not leaving your unit unused or in storage for more than 3 months without charging. Be sure to plug your unit at least once every 3 months for a full 4 hours to ensure maximum battery life.

You need to download the Cardo Connect app. The Cardo Connect App lets you configure your unit, and it offers remote controlled operation from the screen of your smartphone, as well as over-the-air Software updates.

Yes, your new Cardo communication system connects to all Cardo units, via universal Bluetooth connection. Freecom+ and Packtalk units connect with your FREECOM x unit using regular Bluetooth pairing. G and Q units need to be on phone pairing mode before starting pairing.

In order to pair your unit with a non-Cardo headset, please do the following: 1. Start intercom pairing on your unit (please refer to your pocket guide or user manual on how to do it) 2. On the other unit, start universal pairing (if supported) or mobile phone pairing (if universal pairing is not supported) 3. Wait for the pairing to complete

Sound by JBL and sound profiles are already pre-activated in your FREECOM X communicator. To select one of the Sound profiles, go to audio settings in the Cardo Connect App.

Yes, in most cases, intercom and music streaming can be active at the same time. Whenever someone in the intercom network speaks, your CARDO unit will automatically lower the volume of your music so you can hear what they say. The only exception is for a rider in the middle of a group of 3 or 4 riders. In that case, intercom and music streaming can't be active at the same time, because both available Bluetooth channels are used for rider-to-rider connection.

Before trying anything else, we recommend simply resetting the unit to factory settings. Step 1: Press the Intercom+Media+Mobile buttons together for at least 5 seconds until the LED starts flashing purple and the unit turns off. Step 2: Turn the unit back on.

The range stated in the product description has been tested in optimal conditions. Actual range performance could potentially be adversely affected by obstacles to the line of sights, such as mountains, trees, or powerlines.

Music sharing is possible between FREECOM x and SPIRIT units, but it is not possible to share music with other generations of Cardo units.

While your unit comes right out of the box with one of the best sets of speakers in the business, you can always plug in your favorite earbuds or aftermarket speakers via the 3.5mm Jack port and ride on.

Your intercom and radio features are completely phone-independent. You wouldn’t need any phone to operate them. You would need a phone (or some other Bluetooth media player) to stream music and, of course, to make and receive calls.

Like vehicle gas mileage figures, the range stated in the product description is the maximum range tested under optimal conditions. Actual range performance could vary by obstacles to the line of sight such as ridges, trees, and buildings, as well as from wireless interferences such as cellphone base-stations, and power lines.

Sound quality is best when the speakers are placed directly opposite your ear canal. Verify that the speakers are correctly placed inside your helmet by following the next steps. 1. With the helmet on, slide your finger inside the helmet and press against the side of the helmet where your ear is. This is where the speakers should be positioned. 2. Remove the helmet, but keep your finger in that spot. Check to make sure the speakers are in this position. 3. Make sure the speakers are positioned as close to your ear as possible so you can feel them. If necessary, use the included Velcro booster pads behind the speakers to get them closer to your ear. 4. Since every head is different, you may find that your helmet ear cavities are not placed optimally. If this is the case, consider placing the speakers outside your helmet ear cavities right opposite your ears.
