Using Your Calisto Headset with Your
Mobile Phone

The Calisto headset functions like a traditional Bluetooth® headset
when used with your mobile phone. It has the ability to operate
completely separate from the Calisto handset/phone and has many
of the same features as the most popular Bluetooth headsets on the
market, including voice dialing (if your mobile phone supports this
feature) and redial.

Pairing your Calisto headset with your mobile
phone

To use the Calisto headset with your Bluetooth compatible mobile
phone, the headset first needs to be paired with that device. You will
need to refer to the user’s manual for your mobile phone for specifics
on how to pair Bluetooth devices. You can also refer to the Plantronics
website to see if there are instructions specific to your mobile phone.

www.plantronics.com/easytopair

Tip: Note that your headset can be connected to both your handset and a
mobile phone at the same time, so you can make and answer calls from both
using the headset.

You need to pair the headset with your mobile phone only once.

Before you begin, make sure your mobile phone is Bluetooth

1.
compatible. You may need to refer to the user’s guide for your
mobile phone to find out this information.

Turn the headset off by pressing and holding the Headset

2.
button for 4 seconds, until you hear 4 descending beeps. After the
headset is powered off, remove it.

Refer to your mobile phone’s user’s manual for specific instructions

3.
about activating Bluetooth pairing.

When your mobile phone is searching for Bluetooth devices, press

4.
and hold the Headset button on the headset for 4 to 6 seconds
or until the indicator light flashes red and blue.

Page 12

When the mobile phone detects the headset, select Calisto PLT

5.
from the list of found devices.

When the mobile phone prompts you for a passcode, enter “0000”

6.
on the mobile phone keypad as shown.

Your headset is now paired
with your mobile phone.
The two devices work
together whenever they
are in range of each other.
Maximum range is
33 feet.

Tip: When using the headset with your mobile phone for the first time, it is
recommended that you do it out of range from the Calisto handset and base.
Once you have successfully received and answered calls with your mobile
phone, bring the headset back within range to answer both landline and
mobile calls.

Tip: You can pair your headset with more than one mobile phone, but you
can use your headset with only one mobile phone at a time. Your headset
will automatically connect to the mobile phone that is powered on and within
range of your headset. If more than one mobile phone is on and within range
of your headset, the headset will connect to the last mobile phone with which
it was used.

Placing calls

Once your headset is on and connected to your mobile phone, dial

1.
the number and press Talk/Send on the mobile phone. The call
automatically connects to your headset.

Some mobile phones require pressing the Headset button

2.
to activate the call in the headset. If the call is not automatically
transferred to the headset, press the Headset button for under
1 second or until you hear a single beep.

Page 13

Receiving calls using your headset

When you’re using the headset,
a triple beep signals an incoming
call. Press the Headset
button for under 1 second or
until you hear a single high beep.

Tip: You can use the headset to answer a second incoming call; see
“Receiving a second incoming call” on page 22.

Adjusting call volume using your headset

Press up or down to adjust call volume
when you are using your headset (do
not press inward).

Tip: For your comfor t and health, always listen to calls at a moderate volume.
For complete safety information, see page 53.

Ending calls using your headset

Press inward for under
1 second

Page 14

Additional mobile phone/headset features

By default, when your headset is within range of your mobile phone,
incoming or outgoing mobile calls are automatically sent to the Calisto
headset. Therefore, if you cannot hear a call dialed or answered on
the mobile phone, the audio is most likely in the Calisto headset.

To transfer the audio back to the mobile phone handset, see “Mobile
call transfer,” below.

Voice dialing : If your mobile phone supports voice dialing, to
activate this feature on your headset, press and hold the Headset
button for 2 seconds. Voice dialing is activated within approximately
4 to 8 seconds.

Tip: The Calisto handset does not support voice dialing.

Mobile call “reject” feature: When you’re using the headset, a
triple beep signals an incoming call. To ignore the incoming mobile
call, press and hold the Headset button for 2 seconds. Your
mobile phone stops ringing.

Tip: Unlike mobile calls, landline and VoIP calls cannot be ignored from the
headset. Instead, press Ignore (left soft key) on the handset to ignore an
incoming landline or VoIP call.

Mobile call redial: To redial the last number dialed, press the
Headset button twice.

Note: The headset redials the last number dialed on your mobile phone only if
the headset is within range of the mobile phone. If the headset is within range
of the Calisto handset, pressing the Headset button twice redials the last
landline number dialed.

Tip: It can take from 1 to 6 seconds for a mobile call to be redialed from the
headset.

Mobile call transfer: At any given time, you can transfer a mobile
call from the headset to the mobile handset and back by pressing and
holding the Headset button for 2 seconds or until you hear a single
high beep followed by a low beep.

Mute: To mute a call while on your mobile phone, use the mute
feature on your mobile handset. You cannot mute a call using the
headset.

Using the Phonebook

You can store 3 numbers apiece —work, mobile, home— for up to
200 contacts in your Calisto’s phonebook. You can add entries
manually, add them by saving the Caller ID info from an incoming or
outgoing call, or transfer them from your computer’s Outlook® program
(see “Transferring Outlook Contacts into Phonebook” on page 31).

Tip: For quick Phonebook access, from the main screen, press Up on
the navigator.

Troubleshooting

Common screen icons and warning messages

Searching for base: Appears when the handset

is not connecting to the base or is beyond range of
the base (range is up to 300 feet). Make sure the
AC power adapter and telephone cord are
connected. If the problem persists, you may need
to re-register the handset with the base (see
“Registering your handset with the charging base”
on page 40).

Headset out of range: Appears when the
headset is beyond range of the handset (range
is up to 33 feet). Bring the handset within range.
If the problem persists, you may need to re-pair
the headset with your handset (see “Pairing with
a new headset” on page 4

Problem Solution

The voicemail
indicator icon
is not working.

1).

Make sure you subscribe to voicemail ser vice from
your phone service provider. Occasionally, your phone
service may send out a signal that causes the Calisto
handset to display the voicemail icon when you have
no new messages. See “Checking voicemail” on
page 30 for information on resetting the icon. In some
instances, the voicemail icon may also disappear a few
minutes af ter removing the handset from the charging

base and pressing Talk and then End .

Contact your phone service provider if the problem
persists.

Page 42

Problem Solution

There is no
dial tone in the
handset.

I am unable to
place calls using
the headset.

Handset does not
ring.

Make sure the battery is properly installed and fully
charged. A full charge my take up to 16 hours. The
screen displays a full battery icon in the upper
right-hand corner when the battery is fully charged.

Make sure the base and all cables are plugged in
correctly. See “Setup” on page 4 for details.

The handset may not be registered to the base
properly. Follow the steps in “Registering your handset
with the charging base” on page 40 to re-register the
handset with the base.

If is displayed on the screen, make sure the
headset is fully charged, powered on, and within 33
feet of the handset. In the charging base, the indicator
light changes from red to blue when the headset is fully
charged.

If is not displayed on the screen, press the
Headset button for under 1 second. You should
hear a beep in the headset and then the phone dial
tone.

If the problem continues, see “Pairing with a new
headset” on page 41 for instructions on how to re-pair
your headset with your Calisto handset.

The ringer is turned off. Follow the steps in “Turning the
ringer off” on page 26 for instructions on how to turn
the ringer back on.

The base is not properly connected to a telephone
jack. You can also plug another phone into the same
telephone jack to check if there is a dial tone or if the
line is out of service.

Page 43

Problem Solution

I am unable to
place VoIP calls
on the handset or
headset.

There is no dial
tone.

Caller ID is not
displayed.

PerSonoCall is not installed or not configured correctly
(see “Installing the VoIP Utility software” on page 37).
Check that the correct system tray icon appears
when you plug the USB cable into your computer’s
USB port. If this icon does not appear, try plugging
the USB cable into the port again. If this doesn’t
work, close PerSonoCall and relaunch it by clicking
the desktop icon. Relaunch Skype. If the problem
still persists, remove the PerSonoCall software from
your computer and reinstall it from the CD (see

www.plantronics.com/downloads for more software

troubleshooting tips).

The USB cable is disconnected or damaged. Unplug
and replug the cable into both your handset and your
computer.

You are using an older version of the VoIP service
(Skype, etc.) on your computer that is not suppor ted
by your Calisto Pro Series. Download the latest version
of your VoIP software.

Check the phone line connection from the base to the
wall phone line jack to make sure they are properly
connected.

If the headset doesn’t have a dial tone but the handset
does, check to see if the headset is paired with

handset properly. Press the Headset button once
and see if the headset icon is displayed on the handset
screen. If the icon is not displayed, follow the steps in
“Pairing with a new headset” on page941 to pair your
headset with your handset.

Make sure you subscribe to caller ID service from your
phone service provider.

The incoming call party has caller ID blocking and is
restricting the displaying number.

Page 44

Problem Solution

The caller cannot
hear me.

I am having
trouble hearing
the caller.

There is
static and /or
interference on
the call.

Check the handset screen to make sure the call is not
muted.

If you are using the headset, make sure you have
transferred the call to the headset. See “Switching
calls between handset, headset, and speakerphone”
on page 10 for instructions.

Make sure the headset microphone is pointed toward
your mouth for optimal audio performance.

If you experience low volume on the headset, increase
the volume of the headset. See “Adjusting call volume
using your headset” on page 14 for instructions.

If volume is low on the handset, increase the volume of
the handset. See “Adjusting call volume” on page 10
for instructions.

Your handset might be out of range of the base. Move
the handset closer to the base. The maximum handset­to-base range is 300 feet in optimal conditions. The
range depends on environmental conditions.

Your headset might be out of range of the handset.
Move the headset closer to the handset. The ma ximum
headset-to-handset range is up to 33 feet. If you move
beyond the range of the headset, the call will drop.

If the base is in close proximity of microwaves, ovens,
TVs, and any electrical appliances, try moving it away
from those devices.

If you have DSL on the same phone line, be sure that
you are using a DSL filter between the base and the
telephone jack. You may obtain a DSL filter from your
DSL service provider.

Page 45

Problem Solution

I am having
problems pairing
the headset with a
mobile phone.

My mobile phone
does not work
when used within
range of my
Calisto headset.

My headset does
not respond when
I press the button.

Make sure that your mobile phone is Bluetooth
enabled. If you previously paired your mobile phone
with another headset, disconnect the link between
the mobile phone and the headset before pairing the
mobile phone with your Calisto headset.

During pairing, make sure that your Calisto headset is
in pairing mode while your mobile phone is searching
for Bluetooth devices. See the online pairing guide at

www.plantronics.com/easytopair or your mobile phone

user manual for more information. For complete pairing
instructions, see “Pairing your Calisto headset with
your mobile phone” on page 12.

When using the headset with your mobile phone for the
first time, it is recommended that you do it out of range
from the Calisto handset and base. Once you have
successfully received and answered calls with your
mobile phone, bring the headset back within range to
answer both landline and mobile calls.

By default, incoming and outgoing mobile calls are
automatically sent to the Calisto headset instead of the
mobile handset when the headset is within range of the
mobile phone. Therefore, if a call dialed or answered on
the mobile phone cannot be heard, the audio is most
likely in the Calisto headset. To transfer the audio back to
the mobile phone, press and hold the Headset button
for 2 seconds (see “Mobile call transfer” on page 15).

The Headset button should be pressed “inward” for
under 1 second in order to answer or end a call. A high
beep indicates that the headset has successfully
registered the command. Pressing the Headset
button longer could trigger a different headset command.

In some instances, there can be a slight delay between
pressing the Headset button and connecting to a
landline call (see “Placing calls” on page 9 ), connecting
to a mobile call, or having the mobile phone perform
a specific action such as redial or “call reject” (see
“Additional mobile phone/headset features” on page 15).

Problem Solution

The handset
does not respond
when I press the

handset locator

button.

The handset is out of range of the base or the handset
battery is too low.

When I open
the Outlook
Phonebook
Utility application,
the buttons are
grayed out and I
cannot make any
selections.

Handset battery
life is short.

I need to reformat
the number that
is displayed in
the Call Log—for
example, to add a
“1” in front of the
area code or to
remove the area
code completely.

See “Using the Outlook® Phonebook Utility” on page
32 for complete instructions. Make sure the USB cable
from the Calisto is connected to your computer.

If the USB cable is connected and the buttons are still
grayed out, you may have the wrong version of Outlook
selected. Click the Settings button. Under Outlook
Synchronization, select the version of Outlook you
are currently using.

The handset is not fully charged. Place the handset
back in the charging base and charge for a minimum
of 16 hours.

The handset battery is old and will not charge well.
Replace the battery; see “Replacing the handset
battery” on page 7 for instructions.

In the Call Log, highlight the phone number you want to
edit/format and press the “#” key repeatedly for
different formatting options.

Options include adding a “1” in front of an area code or
simply deleting an area code. For more editing tips, see
“Viewing and editing the Call Log” on page 23.

not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company. For
products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part
of the product identifier that has the format US: AAAEQ##TXXX X. The
digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03
is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on
the label. This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJ11C. A
plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premise’s wiring
and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68

company will provide advance notice in order for you to make
necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If trouble
is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information,
please contact Plantronics, Inc. at 1-800-544-4660. If the equipment is
causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
request that you disconnect the equipment from the network until the
problem is solved. This equipment is hearing aid compatible.
