Introduction The Callpod® Dragon is a premium Bluetooth® Class-1 headset that allows you to make and receive calls from your Bluetooth-enabled phone or computer. The Dragon utilizes a proprietary noise mitigation technology called dual-mic noise suppression™ which was designed by Callpod, Inc. This technology, which automatically turns on during a call, significantly reduces background noise to optimize and enhance the sound quality of the conversation.
WARNING - Volume Levels: Always Protect Your Hearing The successive and long-term use of any headset or speakers at high volumes can potentially affect a user’s hearing capacity. This can result in Noise Induced Hearing Loss (“NIHL”). NIHL may occur if a headset is used at maximum or high volumes for more than five (5) minutes per day and if medium volumes are used for more than one (1) hour per day. The human ear will typically adapt to a constant volume level set on a headset speaker.
Care and Maintenance • Please keep the headset and all accessories out of the reach of small children. • Do not to use other manufacturer’s power supplies or adapters with the headset. • Do not attempt to open the outer casing of the headset. • Do not clean the headset with harsh chemicals, and keep it away from liquids. • Do not expose the headset to extreme temperatures.

If you encounter problems reconnecting: • Ensure your phone or Computer’s Bluetooth® functionality is enabled.
