To make a call, press the call control button to take the softphone off the hook. You should  hear a dial tone.
To answer or end a call, press the call control button.
When using PerSonoCall, the radio link between the headset and the USB Bluetooth adapter  will only be active during a call. This is the default setting intended to preserve the battery  life of the headset. However, you may wish to have the radio link active when not on a call  so you can listen to other audio sources, such as streaming audio on your PC. You can lock  the radio link on in two ways:
• Basic Options screen – check the box for "Lock headset radio link on" – see page 10.
• Right click on system tray icon – and choose "Lock radio link on".
NOTE: Locking the radio link on for extended periods of time will significantly reduce the standby and talk time of the headset.
For Softphones Not Compatible with PerSonoCall
Check the PerSonoCall compatibility list at www.plantronics.com/personocall for the most  current information on softphone compatibility.
If your softphone is not currently supported by PerSonoCall, remote detection and answer/ end via  the headset does not function. Pressing the  call control button on the headset will only open and close the radio link providing audio; you must answer the call from the softphone.
To answer or end a call, briefly press the call control button. To make a call, enter the number on your phone, press send, and the call is automatically 
transferred to a headset; no need to press the call control button.

The REN is useful to determine  the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line. Excessive  RENs on a telephone line may result in  the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but  not all areas, the sum of the  RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you  may connect to your line, as determined  by the REN, contact your local telephone company. For product  approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is  part of the product identifier that has the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ### are the REN without  the decimal point. (For example, 03  represents a REN of 0.3.) For earlier producers, the REN is separately shown on  the label.
If this telephone equipment causes harm to the  telephone network, the telephone company will notify  you in  advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice  isn’t practical, the  telephone company will notify the customer as soon  as possible. Also, you will be  advised of your right to file  a complaint with the FCC if you  believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its  facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could  affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If  they do, you will be notified in advance in order for you to  make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If trouble is experienced with this unit, for repair or warranty information,  please contact customer service at  (800) 544-4660. If the equipment  is causing harm to the network, the telephone company may request that you  disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS EQUIPMENT: It does  not contain any user serviceable components. We recommend the installation of an AC surge arrester in the AC outlet to which  this equipment is connected.  Telephone companies report that electrical surges, typically lighting transients, are very destructive to customer  terminal equipment connected to AC power sources.
