SMH10 Pairing challenges
Lots of my friends own the SMH10 on my recommendation. We all have the latest firmware (5.1 at this time). Our goal is to get 4 riders on an OPEN channel (everybody can hear everybody) with no VOX, just an open channel all the time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We pair EXACTLY as per the Firmware rev 5.1 manual (see link below) but it seems to be missing a lot of info.

For example, it says A pairs with B, then A pairs with C, then A pairs with D. But it doesn't mention that when A pairs with B, they can talk, but when A pairs with C, A loses B. This is KEY information, the manual does NOT cover it, so at this point, we continue to pair (A with D), then A and D are paired but A lost B and C. We then have B press the Jog Dial and he may come back in (now A, B and D are in, but C is not). Then we try to have C press the Jog Dial to come into the conversation, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and we end up trying various permutations of pairing and Jog Dial presses, like a monkey trying to randomly type the Holy Bible, with roughly equal success.
Please clarify the EXACT procedure and we will try it at our earliest convenience. Ideally, an updated 5.1.1 manual would be available for download and we can end this hell. When we get all 4 going, it's awesome and we love it. But today, as many other days, we simply fought it and were unable to resolve it. We're not dummies, we're all engineers. Again, please help us use your product to its fullest ability
Thanks!

Also, if you could clearly explain the functionality of the Jog Dial while in intercom mode, we would be able to use it for its intended purpose.
Again, thanks

The quickest and less complicated for 4 SMH10 to intercom together is this. First, Sena recommends a factory reset after a firmware update. I would recommend it do delete all the pairing you have done. Please see the user guide on Factory Default Reset.
Pairing:
First pair A and B
Second pair C and D
Lastly, pair B and C
To start the 4 way intercom:
Single press the Jog Dial on A to connect with B.
Single press the Jog Dial on C to join A & B. You should now have a 3-way. Test the 3 way.
Last, single press the Jog Dial on D to join the 3-way between A, B & C. You should be in a 4 way.
When you ride, have A the lead, followed by B, C and D and the end.

Please tell me what the function of the Jog Dial is when in Intercom mode.
When you're not connected, pressing it does what?
When you are connected, pressing it does what?

When not connected tapping the jog dial will intercom with the last smh10 it was paired with. In the case between A and B, if you tap jog dial on A it will connect with B.
When already connected: tapping the jog dial on A will terminate intercom connection with B.
