2PLEX is a rmware upgrade for a Callpod Dragon headset.
This software allows you to join a second Bluetooth headset (any brand) into your
phone call for a private and secure mobile conference.
2PLEX utilizes the Dragon’s 100m (328 ft) range when connected to a second
Callpod Dragon Bluetooth headset or any other class-1 Bluetooth headset. 2PLEX
is a proprietary and unique mobile communication software that was pioneered
by Callpod.

Introduction

callpod®3
Copyright © 2008 Callpod, Inc. Patents Pending.
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 ve (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. If this volume is changed to
a higher level, it may, over time, result in damage to the ear even though no
discomfort is felt. Exposure to sound at a close range, even at lower levels, could
potentially result in hearing loss. The Dragon headset can reach a maximum
volume of approximately 100 decibels. This volume is controlled by the user
through both the headset volume control as well as via the mobile device that it
is paired to (e.g. cell phone).
Like stereos and other sound emitting products that use speakers, please exercise
personal care to select a comfortable volume. Please do not use this product at
high volume levels.

the included USB data cable) to any computer/laptop. Select the 2PLEX update

The Dragon uses advanced Dual-mic Noise Suppression™ that is always “ON.”
In order for the headset to function properly, the two microphones must be
positioned towards your mouth. This is easy to do. Once the headset is put on your
ear, simply rotate the headset towards your mouth until the ear bud is compressed
comfortably against your ear. The microphones will align automatically towards
your mouth as shown below:
