OVERVIEW AND INSTALLATION
The DriveBlue works:
- in half-duplex when the external microphone is not used
- in full-duplex when the external microphone is used.
Both modes of communication are included in the system.
With the internal microphone, the separation between the microphone and the speaker is small and allows for half-duplex
only. The driver has the priority over the party at the other end.
With the external microphone, the jack has to be fully plugged in to transfer from half-duplex to full-duplex. The separation
between the external microphone and the DriveBlue unit should be sufficient to remove echos (approximately 12 inches
depending on orientation, separate more if the echo remains). The communication channels for the driver and the other
party are available at the same time.
Removing the jack of the microphone restores the half-duplex
Use your normal voice, as you would with someone sitting next to you. Do not raise your voice, because the performance of
the DriveBlue will be diminished.
Microphone:
The microphone should be directed towards the driver and should preferably be installed in between the visor and rear-view
mirror. Other central positions may be used. Positions on the door side are to be avoided. Also check that the ventilation
(or air conditioning system) does not blow directly into the microphone.
Extender:
The Driveblue operates in all cars. However, in some rare occasions ( some models of Ford Bronco, for exampleo),
because the depth at which the cigarette-lighter is placed, it is convenient to add an extender, so that the driver has the
DriveBlue in full view. You may get an extender by asking your store or by ordering it from any distributor listed on our
Website.
Finding the software version of the DriveBlue:
If you want to find which is the software version of the unit, check which devices have been discovered when you do a
pairing. On the display of your phone, you willl see the list of devices found. For example, DriveBlue v3.10 indiactes that the
software version installed in your DriveBlue unit is v3.10.
