Universal Intercom allows you to have two-way intercom conversations with users of non-Sena Bluetooth headsets. You can pair your headset with only one non-Sena headset at a time. The intercom distance depends on the performance of the Bluetooth headset to which it is connected. When a non-Sena Bluetooth headset is paired with the Sena headset, if another Bluetooth device is paired via Second Mobile Phone Pairing, it will be disconnected.

1. Execute Universal Intercom in the Headset Configuration Menu.
