Key Tips:
Remember to plug in USB adapter before
opening Dragon.
After powering on the headset, you must
press the button once more to put the
device in call mode.

1
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 (you can find that information in this guide). Then start Dragon.
2. You can now create a new User Profile within Dragon to use this
microphone. However, if you already have a Dragon profile, you should
instead add the Calisto microphone to it, which is done through the
DragonBar’s Profile menu. Having multiple sources within your profile
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 profile
creation or when you add a source to your profile), select Plantronics
Enhanced Bluetooth (in Dragon versions 12 and 13) or Bluetooth (in earlier
versions).
Once you select a new source and click OK, you return to the Open User
Profile dialog box. Select the User Profile you just created and click Open.
If you have not previously trained the User Profile with the new dictation
source, the New User Profile wizard appears and you can begin training.

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.
6. You may have already noticed that the button on the headset can be
pressed in, towards the headset, as well as up or down. Pressing the
button up or down will increase or decrease the volume. This volume
adjustment gives you control of the volume coming out of the speaker in
the headset.
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
7. 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 flashing 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 profile 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 profile so that Dragon Dictate can get
used to your voice, your microphone, and your speech. You will see a
blank Profiles Window.
3. To create a profile, click the “+” button. This will let you enter a profile
name and select your microphone type and the language for your profile.
If you already have a Dragon Dictate profile, you should instead add the
Calisto microphone to it, which is done in the Profiles 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 verified your choices are correct, click the Create button.
7. After a short wait, Dragon Dictate will create your profile.
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
