Default Line
This feature sets the preferred outbound line when the headset call control button is pushed.
To change the default outbound line with the base see Change your default outbound line.

Set the Range
Changing the range can help with desk phone/PC audio quality, improve user density or restrict range of users.

Base Settings	Range
High	up to 350 ft.
Medium	up to 150 ft.
Low	up to 50 ft.

To change the range with the base see Setting the Range.

Audio Bandwidth for Desk phone and PC
Wideband audio delivers heightened speech clarity and life-like fidelity. However, wideband audio consumes more battery power and has more stringent access criteria which reduces the number of systems that can be deployed in a small area. All PCs support wideband audio but your desk phone must support wideband audio to experience the benefit of selecting "wideband" for that device. When switching between narrowband and wideband audio, you must re-establish the audio link for the changes to take effect.

Bluetooth Enabled
This feature disables/enables use of the Bluetooth interface to the mobile phone.
The Bluetooth interface to the mobile phone can also be disabled/enabled manually by pressing the subscription and base mobile phone button until the base mobile phone LED flashes. When the base mobile phone button LED flashes red four times, Bluetooth is disabled and when it flashes green four times, it is enabled.
A separate utility is also available at plantronics.com/software.

Auto Connect to Mobile Phone
This feature automatically establishes a Bluetooth link to the mobile phone whenever the mobile phone is within range. See the following setting for an optional restriction on this function.

Stop Auto Connect to Mobile When Headset Is Docked
If this feature is enabled, the base will not automatically establish a Bluetooth connection to your mobile phone when the headset is docked. Upon undocking the headset, the base will automatically establish a Bluetooth connection if "auto connect to mobile phone" is selected.

Initiate Mobile Voice Commands
This feature enables/disables mobile phone voice commands for hands-free dialing with your mobile phone. When this is enabled, you will be prompted for voice commands by your mobile phone when a call is initiated with the base mobile button. This feature requires mobile phone support for voice commands.

Over-The-Air Subscription
This feature allows a headset to be subscribed to the base without physically docking the headset. It is required when conferencing multiple models of Plantronics headsets.
For more on subscription, see Base Subscription Buttons. For more on headset guest conferencing, see Conference Up to Three Additional Headsets.

Audio Limiting
Audio Limiting provides advanced hearing protection for daily noise exposure. When Audio- Limiting is SELECTED, the system monitors and controls sound to ensure audio levels do not exceed 80 dBA or 85 dBA (whichever is selected) specified by current and imminent EU legislation. When Audio-Limiting is set to NOT SELECTED, the headset limits sound levels at 118 dBA to protect your hearing.

Hours On the Phone Per Day
This feature allows users to customize the time variable used in the Audio Limiting algorithm to match their daily use. Choose a value that best represents the typical use of your Plantronics headset.

Anti-Startle
Anti-startle provides advanced hearing protection against sudden loud sounds. When Antistartle is SELECTED, the system identifies and eliminates sudden loud sounds and rapidly reduces them to a comfortable level.

You are only able to change a password if there is a previous password set in the device.

Action to Media Player
When a softphone call comes in and audio is playing, this feature controls the behavior of iTunes, Winamp and Windows Media Player.

Launch Audio Devices Control Panel
Provides a shortcut to the Windows Sounds and Audio Devices control panel.

Ring Both Headset and PC
This feature gives you the option to have the PC ringtone played on both the headset as well as the PC speaker.
When this feature is selected, the PC ringtone will be heard on both the PC speaker as well as the headset.
When this feature is not selected, the PC ringtone will only be heard on either the headset or the PC speaker based on how the PC audio has been set up.

Maintain Headset to PC Link
This feature forces the radio link to the PC to stay active even after the call has ended. This can eliminate the need to re-establish the radio link when switching between PC audio applications.

Help Us Improve This Software By Allowing Us To Collect Anonymous Feature Usage Statistics
When selected, this will allow Plantronics to collect data on feature usage pattern. This information will only be used by Plantronics to improve the quality of our future software and hardware products.

Microsoft Office Communicator/Lync Dial-tone Enabled
If this feature is selected, when a PC radio link is established, Microsoft Office Communicator/Lync will assume the user is trying to place a VoIP call and provide a dial tone.
If this feature is not selected, when a PC radio link is established, Microsoft Office Communicator/Lync will sit idle.

Audio Sensing Enabled
Audio Sensing is a special feature supported by Plantronics wireless devices that can detect an audio signal at the USB port and automatically establish a PC radio link between the Base and wireless headset without the user having to press the PC call button. If the parameter "Microsoft Office Communicator/Lync Dial-tone Enabled" is selected, then every time a PC radio link is established the Microsoft Office Communicator/Lync dial tone will be heard. However, the user may have pressed the PC call button to listen to music, etc., and does not want to hear the dial-tone. In this case, if the user selects the "Audio Sensing Enabled" parameter, the radio link will be established automatically when any PC audio is detected at the USB port, thus eliminating the need for the user to press the PC call button.

Troubleshooting

Headset

My headset is unstable.	When you wear the headset, the microphone should rest as close to your cheek as possible without touching. The microphone can be adjusted inward by the pivoting earpiece to optimize the position of the headset. See Position Your Headset.
Talk time performance is significantly degraded even after a full recharge.	Battery is wearing out. Contact us at plantronics.com/support.
I can't hear a dial tone in the headset.	Make sure your headset is charged. Make sure your headset is subscribed to base. See Base Subscription. Press the base desk phone button. Make sure the lifter is lifting the handset high enough to operate the hookswitch; set to a higher setting if necessary. Adjust the configuration switch on the base until a dial tone is heard. The default A works for most phones. See Make a Desk Phone Call. Fine tune the listening volume with the headset call control button. See Adjust Your Headset Volume. If the volume is still too low, adjust the desk phone listening volume on the base. See Adjust Your Headset Volume.
I hear static.	Make sure there is at least 12 inches between your base and your computer, and 6 inches between your base and your telephone. If adjusting the distance doesn't help, your headset is going out of range, move closer to the base. See Position Your Base.
The sound is distorted.	Lower the desk phone speaking volume and/or desk phone listening volume on the base. For most telephones the correct setting is position 3. See Adjust Your Headset Volume. If your desk phone has a volume control, lower until the distortion disappears. If the distortion is still present, adjust the headset volume control to lower the headset speaker volume. See Adjust Your Headset Volume. Make sure there is 12 inches between your base and your computer, and 6 inches between your base and your telephone. See Position Your Base.
I hear echo in the headset.	Lower the desk phone speaking volume and/or desk phone listening volume on the base. For most telephones the correct setting is position 3. See Adjust Your Headset Volume. If the audio level is too low in this position, increase the headset volume. See Adjust Your Headset Volume. If your speaking volume is too low for your listener in this position, adjust the position of the headset to make sure the microphone is as close as possible to your mouth. Adjust the configuration switch on the base until a dial tone is heard. The default A works for most phones. See Make a Desk Phone Call.
People I talk to can hear a buzz in the background.	Move the base further away from your phone. See Position Your Base. If the base power supply is plugged into a power strip, plug it into the wall directly.

Desk Phone

The handset lifter is installed but does not lift the handset.

Be sure the handset lifter power cord is firmly pushed into the handset lifter jack on the base.

Mobile

Pairing problems	Ensure the Bluetooth LED on the base flashes red and blue by pressing the Bluetooth button for four seconds. Ensure the Bluetooth mobile phone is in search mode. When an active Bluetooth connection has been made, the base Bluetooth LED will be solid blue.
Why doesn't the base automatically reconnect with my mobile phone?	Ensure Plantronic software had been installed. Ensure that the Auto Connect to Mobile Phone feature is Selected in the Plantronics Control Panel. Ensure that Stop Auto Connect to Moible When Headset is docked is Not Selected in the Plantronics Control Panel.

Softphone

When I dial from my softphone application, nothing happens.	Ensure your headset is charged. Ensure your headset is subscribed to the base. See Subscribing a Headset. Ensure that the Plantronics software is installed. To download, visit plantronics.com/software. Ensure that you are using a compatible softphone application. For a list of compatible softphones, visit plantronics.com/software. If the Plantronics software is not installed and you do not have a compatible softphone, you must first press the base computer call button and then use the softphone interface to place/answer/end calls. Ensure that the headset is the default sound device. The Plantronics control panel will launch the sound devices control panel by going to Plantronics Control Panel > Preferences > General – Launch Audio Devices Control Panel. Restart your computer.
Speaking and/or listening volume is too low or too high.	Adjust headset listening volume with volume button. Adjust listening/speaking volumes in the computer's sound control panel/system preferences. Adjust listening/speaking volumes in the softphone application.
The sound is distorted or I hear an echo in the headset.	Reduce speaking and/or listening volume on the computer using your softphone application. Point microphone towards your chin. If the distortion is still present, lower the volume on the headset.
I can no longer hear any audio through my PC Speakers.	For Windows XP systems Refer to the "Audio" tab of the "Sounds and Audio Devices" option in your PC Control Panel. Under "Sound Playback", change the default setting from Savi Office to your PC speakers. Click "OK" to confirm your change. For Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems Refer to the "Sound" option in your PC Control Panel. Under the "Playback" tab, change the default setting from "Speakers Savi Office" to your PC speakers. Click "OK" to confirm your change. For Mac OS X Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sound. Click Output, and then select "Internal Speakers" or your speaker choice.
No audio connection to PC.	Unplug USB and power cables from base. Reconnect power cable first. Wait for power LED to illuminate, then re-connect USB cable. Quit and then re-start your PC audio or softphone application.

Avoid touching the contacts at the rear of the unit unnecessarily. If operation is interrupted by a static event, power-cycle the product to restore normal functions.
