"This guide will help you understand all of the processes and procedures involved in assembling your Dragon Machine and calibrating your Dragon Software to your machine."

"Please take your time in assembling and calibrating your new Dragon Machine/Software by following all of these steps thoroughly. This should take anywhere from 2-3 hours based on how you pay attention to detail, how much help you have and if you are technologically adept or not."

"Each step will have a short video attached to it showing how that particular step is meant to be completed by the operator."
