MESH INTERCOM

When Mesh intercom is enabled, the headset will be in Public Mode initially. It can connect with a virtually unlimited number of nearby 30K headsets within a 1.6 km (1.0 mile) range. Within this group, 6 users can talk at the same time for an optimized, open group intercom conversation. Users can freely connect with each other when in Public Mode. The audio quality of the intercom conversation will be the best when communicating using Public Mode. The headset will not save the connection information from any of the headsets that it is connected to for future open group intercom conversations when in Public Mode.

Starting Mesh Intercom

When Mesh intercom is enabled, the headset will automatically connect to nearby 30K users and allow them to talk to each other by pressing the Mesh intercom Button.

Mesh Intercom On

Mesh Intercom Off

In order to use Private Mode on the 30K to connect your riding buddies together, a Mesh needs to be created by one of the riders in the group. A "creator" can create a Mesh using the following steps.

Creating a Mesh

While everyone is in Public Mode, press and hold the Mesh Intercom Button for 5 seconds to hear the voice prompt "Creating mesh".

Nearby riders in Public Mode will receive an invitation from the "creator" and hear a voice prompt say "Would you like to join the mesh?"

The invited rider can accept the invitation from the “creator” within 30 seconds by tapping the Mesh Intercom Button once. After accepting the invitation, the invited rider's headset will give the voice prompt “Joined the mesh”.

Joining an Existing Mesh

For those riders that did not receive an invitation from the "creator" or did not accept the initial invite, you can join a Mesh that has already been started.

Tap the Mesh Intercom Button on your 30K twice. You will hear the voice prompt “Searching for mesh” on your headset.

The creator of the Mesh can accept or reject the request to join the Mesh after hearing the voice prompt "Would you like to accept a new participant?".

To accept - The "creator" needs to tap the Mesh Intercom Button once. The rider will hear the voice prompt "Joined the mesh".

To reject – The "creator" needs to hold the Mesh Intercom Button for 1 second. The rider will hear the voice prompt “Mesh intercom denied”.

Quitting the Mesh

The 30K will remember which headsets it is connected to in a Mesh even if the headset is powered off. If you want to create a new Mesh with a new group of riding buddies then you need to quit the Mesh.

Hold down the Mesh Intercom Button for 8 seconds, you will hear the voice prompt “Quit the mesh”.

The creator or a participant can quit the Mesh. When someone quits the Mesh, the headset will automatically switch to Public Mode and the stored connection information will be deleted.

A Guest Mode setting can be found in the settings menu, accessible through Sena Device Manager or Sena Smartphone App.

Guest Mode allows a guest to listen to a closed Mesh conversation. The creator of the Mesh needs to enable Guest Mode before creating the Mesh to allow guests. Guest Mode can be enabled when the guest is in Public Mode and the Mesh Network connection information has been removed. The guest needs to be within range of the Mesh that is using Private Mode to listen to the Mesh conversation.
