DECT Enhanced Security
DECT 6.0 products should never be used outside the region in which they were originally purchased and intended to be used.
The enclosed DECT 6.0 wireless product uses restricted wireless radio frequencies which vary by country. DECT 6.0 devices are generally authorized for use in The Americas. Use of this DECT 6.0 product in unauthorized countries is a violation of law, may disrupt telecommunications networks and devices, and can subject you to fines and penalties by regulatory agencies.
Plantronics is a member of the DECT Forum and has fully adopted their recommendations for enhancements to security within all DECT products.
Plantronics DECT-based products now fully incorporate the latest recommendations on Enhanced Security from the DECT Forum and ETSI. These improvements cover registration, authentication, authorization and encryption procedures. Plantronics DECT products are now secure against all the known vulnerabilities that were highlighted by the public announcements of the Chaos Council in 2009.
Plantronics Savi 8200 Series DECT products have been tested against and passed the DECT Forum security certification requirements and consequently have been granted 'DECT Forum security' logo certification.
Plantronics products using the new enhanced version of DECT that includes these security improvements are marked on the base with the DECT Forum security logo.

Base Subscription Button
The headset and base that came in the box are subscribed (connected) to each other. However, if you wish to use a new headset or need to restore subscription to your current headset (base subscription button is red), the units can be subscribed to each other by the following methods.
The subscription button is below the Bluetooth button on the front of the base.
Base Subscription Button LED
Base Subscription LED | Base Status |
Flashes green and red | Primary headset subscription mode |
Solid green | Primary headset subscribed to base |
Solid yellow | Active conference call with guest headsets |
Solid red | No headset subscribed |
Flashes green 3X, the yellow 2X | Security level changed from enhanced to standard |

Low (red) | up to 50 ft. |
You can also adjust the range setting in Plantronics Hub Settings > Wireless. > Range.

Disabling Over-the-Air Subscription
The Savi system ships with the over-the-air headset subscription enabled. In a multi-shift environment, you may want to disable this mode of subscription.
To disable over-the air subscription, while your system is idle, hold the subscription button and the base computer button down simultaneously until the base computer button LED flashes (green for enabled, red for disabled).
You can also adjust the over-the-air subscription setting in Plantronics Hub Settings > Wireless. .
Subscription and Security Levels
Your Savi 700 Series headset system (v28 or later) supports DECT Forum recommendations for "Enhanced Security". Products with Enhanced Security are marked with the DECT Forum security logo on the base.
Both your headset and headset base are compatible with older (prior to v28) headset bases and headsets supporting older versions of DECT. Below is helpful information if you plan to use Enhanced Security and older DECT components together.
If your Enhanced Security headset or headset base is subscribed with an older headset or headset base, the resulting security level for the mixed headset and base combination will be set to the level of the older headset for all calls. This is because older system components are not able to support Enhanced Security.
All subscription details above apply when subscribing an Enhanced Security headset to an older base, or visa versa, however there are unique system alerts indicating that the system is changing the security level from Enhanced Security to the older version of security.
If an older headset is subscribed to an Enhanced Security Base:
If an Enhanced Security headset is subscribed to an older base:
