NOTE The Bluetooth USB adapter comes pre-paired to the headset;

you can do so by performing the following steps.

2 sec.

1. Start with the headset powered off.

2. Press and hold the power button for about 5-6 seconds until the light on
the headset starts fl ashing an alternating red-blue. Release the power
button.

3. Insert the Bluetooth USB adapter into the computer. Once the devices

Adjusting Computer Audio Settings

1. On your PC, launch the Control Panel and select Sound.

2. On the Sound dialog, make sure the Plantronics Bluetooth Adapter is
selected as the default device in the Playback and Recording tabs.

3. Press OK.

Using Your Headset with Dragon

NaturallySpeaking

1. First, plug the USB adapter of the Calisto microphone into your PC, and
make sure your headset is charged, paired with the adapter, and powered
on. Then start Dragon.

2. You can now create a new user profi le within Dragon to use this
microphone. However, if you already have a Dragon profi le, you should
instead add the Calisto microphone to it, which is done through the
DragonBar’s Profi le menu. Having multiple sources within your profi le
allows you to access the same customizations, including words and
phrases you’ve added to the vocabulary, regardless of which of your
audio sources you’re using.

3. When Dragon presents the list of sources to choose from (during profi le
creation or when you add a source to your profi le), select Enhanced
Bluetooth (in Dragon version 12) or Bluetooth (in earlier versions).

4. If Dragon prompts you to “Choose
your sound system”, select the
Plantronics Adapter from the
list and then click Next to continue.

5. If Dragon tells you that your “Sound level is too low”, the headset
microphone may be turned off. Make sure that it is turned on and try
reading the text again.

NOTE If after following the above steps, you still receive the “Sound level is

too low” message from Dragon, your Windows sound system may not be
setup correctly. Visit http://support.nuance.com

6. When dictating with Dragon using your headset, please note that when
your headset microphone is turned on, you must also turn the microphone
on from inside of Dragon. To turn on the microphone from Dragon, press
the plus key (+) on the numeric keypad or click the microphone button on
the DragonBar.

The microphone is off The microphone is on

NOTE Even when the Dragon microphone icon is red and horizontal,

indicating that the microphone is off, your headset microphone may still be
on. When you are done using Dragon, you may want to make sure that your
headset microphone is on standby. The USB adapter will be solid blue in
standby mode and fl ashing blue when headset microphone is on/active. You
can also turn off your headset to conserve battery life.

NOTE If the Plantronics BT Adapter isn’t displayed in step 4 or if you are

prompted to run audio training when you’ve already done it before, you may
need to unplug and replug the USB Bluetooth adapter.

IMPORTANT: Whenever you use Dragon, aim to always plug the

microphone’s USB adapter into the same USB port on your PC, and always
plug it in before you start Dragon.

Using the Headset with Dragon Dictate

When creating a new user profi le within Dragon Dictate for your headset,
note the following:

1. First, plug the USB adapter of the Calisto microphone into your Mac, and
make sure your headset is charged, paired with the adapter, and powered
on. Then start Dragon Dictate.

2. Next, you will need to create a user profi le so that Dragon Dictate can get
used to your voice, your microphone, and your speech. You will see a
blank Profi les Window.

3. To create a profi le, click the “+” button. This will let you enter a profi le
name and select your microphone type and the language for your profi le.

If you already have a Dragon Dictate profi le, you should instead add the
Calisto microphone to it, which is done in the Profi les Window by clicking
the plus sign under Audio Sources.

4. Select the Plantronics BT Adapter from the Microphone pull-down menu.

5. Select the spelling model that best suits you from the Spelling pull-down
menu, and then choose the Accent.

6. When you have verifi ed your choices are correct, click the Create button.

7. After a short wait, Dragon Dictate will create your profi le.

8. To conserve battery life, place the headset in standby when not in use.

For further information, and to learn how to use Dragon Dictate, see the
Dragon Dictate User Manual.
