Drone
Simply plug the Drone into the USB port of your computer, and it will immediately connect with your Bluetooth headset or headphones to provide streaming music and voice over a 100 meter (328ft) range. There is no software to install because the Drone has on-board software which communicates with your headset. The computer sees the Drone as a USB speaker and simply routes the audio automatically. When a Skype call comes in, Drone switches over to the call automatically. When used with the Callpod Dragon headset you can enjoy the full 100 meter range. Supports A2DP (Stereo) Bluetooth profile.

Software Modes

The Drone® operates out-of-the-box in plug and play mode, which means you do not need to install any software on your computer. Drone has all the software embedded within the hardware to stream music and voice to your headset, control Skype® and perform all music controls.

Drone can also operate in software controlled mode where it behaves like a traditional Bluetooth dongle. To use the Drone in software mode on Windows XP/2000 you must download a software package called a "Bluetooth stack" to control your Drone. This software stack is made by Toshiba and is only for use with Windows 2000 and XP (Download not required for Windows Vista). To download the software click here. After installing this software, you must place your Drone in software mode. To do this, simply press-and-hold the multifunction button for 10 seconds until the red and blue lights stop flashing completely. At this point you see the Drone become recognized by the computer as a Bluetooth device, and the Toshiba software will allow you to perform standard Bluetooth operations.

Firmware Updates

When new features are available for the Drone, you can take advantage of this by upgrading the software directly when plugged into your PC. The new Callpod Updater will automatically check for updates for every Callpod device you own.
