Hello everyone. Thanks for tuning in again. I have a brand new product to talk
to you about today. It's called Onyx by Orion and this
product this is a pretty interesting product to me. It's basically a
communication device for teams, and I think you're going to find all kinds of
applications as I go through a series of videos here. Now the first video today
what I'm going to do is Unbox it, get it set up so you can see how it works, just
show you some of the basics today, but in the future we're gonna get really
in-depth with this, and you can control a lot in your home and in your business
using just the Onyx devices. So let's get going. Alright so like I said let's go
ahead get these opened up. I'll do a quick review, and then I will show you
the full set up. The full set up is gonna be a little hard to follow because I'm
gonna be skipping between phones and and different set up processes. but
ultimately you have two devices in the package. You can see the contact
information, if you're struggling at all, and I really like that from Orion. They
have been really good in contact with me, and you know that's really important for
a device like this, especially for businesses. So let's go ahead and get
this opened up. The package is quite simple, the two onyx devices are inside,
and as you open up the side package here, you can actually get into some guides
and then you also have some USB cables that are meant for charging the devices.
You also have some carrying cases, which is a nice little touch since these
are likely to be business use. it's nice to have the little carrying pouches
there.
Now the device itself, as you look at it, there's a speaker on the top and then
there's also a mic port on the top. You can also see the volume control and
actually, your on and off switch. The two dots are your volume up, and also if
you hold that button, it's your power on and power off button. The single dot is a
volume down button. Now on the bottom side of the device you actually have the
capability for plugging in a headset, and then there's your charging port as well.
So overall this is a really compact device, or a compact package, with a lot
of equipment in it, and a lot of capability. One thing to note is the
functionality of muting the entire package. So you're gonna see I can
twist here. One way is muted, one way is not, and you can see the lights come on
as I get them powered on. Here so let's go ahead let's get this set up. I'm going
to show you how it works initially when you follow the guide inside. They
actually tell you to go to the Orion website start your set up, but ultimately
they just send you to the App Store's. the two different app stores either on
an Android device or an iPhone. I'm gonna use an iPhone and I have the Orion app
already on it. I'm going to allow it to send me notifications, and I'm gonna do a
sign up. I'm not going to walk you through that short signup process but then they asked
to sync your contacts. So go ahead, sync your contacts, it will actually find
people who have an Orion or a set of Onyx devices. So then you'd be able to
instantly connect them, and put them in a group now. Right now in order to connect
my onyx, I have to hold the power button on and then when I see the lights, then I
can actually go through this screen right here. The Onyx lights have to be
matched on my iPhone to the ones physically on the device.
Once they are you can hit confirm, the lights, and then your phone pairs to the
Onyx. So once you've got those confirmed hit it, and now you start the pairing
process. So there you go this onyx is paired with this iPhone. Now this is my
personal iPhone, and later in the video I'm gonna pair the second one with a
second iPhone. Now you can go into some of the settings. they want you to update
the Onyx. I'm not going to walk you through that it doesn't take very long
though. They will show you the battery and then you can see some firmware stats.
If you wanted you could to disconnect your Onyx. Now if I tap on
select a group inside the application, you can see two functions here and these
are very important. the echo-chamber just allows you to learn, so I'm gonna go into
that initially and then I'll show you the translator in little bit here. But
here you can see the Orion application telling you how to hold, talk, and then
release. Then it will transmit your message. Now here's a quick demo of that
"hello there."
"Testing low volume." So there you go, you could see I was playing with the volume
a little bit. The echo-chamber does exactly what it says it does. Now I'm
gonna head into the translation module here just to show you how impressive
this is. "hello how are you." "**SPANISH**"
That's great there's the translator. Now I'm going to, within the Orion
application, actually create a new group and then I'm gonna pair the second Onyx,
just to show you how it all works together. So I'm gonna hit the plus up at
the top, this is just the name of the group, I'm going to type it in as family.
The group's created, and now I'm gonna switch over to the other iPhone and
just make sure that it's connected. Now once I have my group created I want to
share that, and I can either share it with a link directly sent through email,
or I could add a new contact and just make sure that the other person adds me
as a contact. so initially I'm just gonna share this with a link, so I can do it
quickly through the other phone. So moving over to the other phone, I'm gonna
do the same pairing process with my second Onyx device. You of course have to
sign up for a second account. you want to sync your contacts, and then you go ahead,
you do the same connection process, and I'll just show you here you tap on the
little light there, and you can see it changing on the onyx. I have to get that
matched up again to the physical onyx, and then you go ahead click confirm
lights and it pairs, and now I have my second onyx on phone number two. So now I
have my two supposed team members all set up, or if I want like I've set up
this is a family group. So I could always instantly speak with my wife. This is her
cell phone, so now I'm gonna go ahead and I'm going to add a contact. Once I've
added that contact, I'm going to go ahead and you can see I could invite them, or
create a group. 'm gonna switch back to my initial iPhone that has the
group already created, I'm going to add my wife as a contact, and then I'm going
to invite her to that group. I could have used
that link that I sent earlier in the video, but what I'm going to do is add a
new contact, add in her information, and then I'm going to go ahead and send her
an invitation to join my group. Once I do that, we'll be able to communicate
totally. The only notification you get is when you've been invited to join a
group by someone else. You can see it up on the top left. Once you click that it
was down at the bottom, and then you can go ahead and click accept and
join group now. So now you can see that actually it's Brian and Elizabeth
in the group called family, you can see our locations. We're of course in the same
locations and I'll just show you how this works.
"Roger, Roger, echo one Niner, come in please."
"What are you up to one Niner." "Good carry on.' So there you have it that's a pretty
good run through or rundown of the Onyx by Orion series. Of course with devices
that are this capable, and have this much functionality within them, I'm gonna have
to do a number of different videos here. so stay tuned for the next one guys.
Thanks for watching this. We'll see you next time.
