 “1+8” INTERCOM TOGGLING

Pair with up to 8 other devices (“1+8” Buddies) and connect 

with them one at a time by saying their name.

5.1a CONFIGURING YOUR BUDDY NAME
Before using “1+8” Intercom, you should assign your device a 

Buddy Name, so that other “1+8” participants can call you by this 

name.
If you change your Buddy Name, you must pair again with your 

“1+8” Buddies for their device to receive your new Buddy Name.

Visit the 

Cardo Community

 to configure your Buddy Name (see 

Section 3). Until you configure a Buddy Name, your unit will be 

known by its generic “1+8” Buddy name, “cardo SHO-1”.
