1. What products are compatible with the Dragon headset?
The Dragon is compatible with all Bluetooth®-enabled cell phones, PDAs and VOIP products.
2. How do I connect the Dragon to my cell phone?
Pairing the Dragon is easy. When you power on the Dragon (by pressing the rear power button, it will automatically go into a discoverable state. From your cell phone's Bluetooth menu you need to search for devices nearby. Select the "Callpod Dragon" and enter the PIN code of '0000'. Some phones require you to take the next step and initiate the connection to the headset, and some phones will establish the connection automatically. The next time you power on the Dragon, it will automatically connect back to your phone. You may be prompted to accept the connection on your phone.
3. How do I connect two Dragon headsets together?
To connect a Dragon to another Dragon for 2-way communication over a 250,000 sq ft area... turn on the first headset and it will automatically go into discoverable mode. Turn on the second headset while pressing the multifunction button at the same time. The second headset will flash blue and it will immediately pair to the first Dragon and establish a connection automatically. Once the audio connection is established, you will notice that the multifunction button on either side will turn the audio channel on and off. If either party wishes to talk, simply press the multifunction button. To mute the channel, either side may press the multifunction button.
4. How can I connect multiple headsets together for group communications or conferencing?
You can do this using the Callpod Phoenix. The Phoenix links up to 5 headsets in a group conference or push-to-talk communications environment.
5. How do I deal with charging multiple Dragon headsets and cell phones? I dont want to carry around all those power cords
The Chargepod was specifically designed to charge up to 6 products such as Dragon headsets, cell phones and PDAs with a single power plug.
6. How do I pair multiple devices and switch between Skype® and my cell phone?
To pair a second device (or PC) to your headset, simply tap the power button and the Dragon will go into a discoverable mode. Now you can pair and connect from that second device (or PC). The PC will usually turn on the audio channel immediately. When you get a call on your cell phone, you can answer the call by pressing the multifunction button. At that time, the Dragon will automatically switch over to the phone requesting the audio link. When the call is over, Dragon will automatically connect back to the PC. In a similar fashion, if you are using Dragon-to-Dragon communications AND you are paired to a cell phone, you can switch between walkie-talkie and cell phone by either tapping the multifunction button or automatically via whichever device requests the audio link.
7. How Does the Dragon Achieve its Range Up to 100 meters?
The dragon headset is categorized as a Class-1 Bluetooth device, which is based on a power rating that can transmit up to 100 meters. It uses proprietary RF amplification and software, which enable the headset to pair to any Bluetooth cell phone or computer. In order to maximize the range of the dragon, you should use it with a Class-1 cell phone or computer (using a Class-1 Bluetooth dongle).Many of the newer handsets being introduced into the market will be rated as Class-1 devices (i.e. 100 mW of power).
8. How Will My Dragon Headset Perform with My Class-2 Cell Phone or Computer?
The dragon headset is a fantastic solution for the standard Class-2 Bluetooth cell phone and computer. Class-2 devices typically operate at a range of 9 meters (32 feet). The dragon, when paired to a Class-2 device, typically enhances the performance of standard Class-2 devices by a factor of 2 to 3 times. When the dragon is used in walkie-talkie mode (Dragon-to-Dragon communication), you can maximize the full operating range of the headset of 100 meters (328 feet). In open areas, testing has showed that effective two-way communication was achieved in excess of 450 feet. The dragon represents a new breakthrough for Bluetooth headsets in terms of power, longevity and two-way communication.
