Manual secure subscription

With your system idle and your headset docked, double press the subscription button on the base. The subscription light will flash red and green. When the subscription light on the base becomes solid green, the headset and base are subscribed to one another.

Manual over-the-air subscription

With your system idle and your headset undocked, double press the subscription button on the

base. The subscription light will flash green and red. Press the volume up button on the headset for three seconds until the headset LED turns solid

white. When the subscription light on the base remains solid green, the headset and base are subscribed to one another.

NOTE If the base subscription LED goes solid red, after flashing red/green, the subscription attempt

has failed and should be repeated.

End subscription

If the base is in subscription mode and you want to stop the base from searching for a headset, press the subscription button again. The subscription light will be solid red for four seconds and then go to its previous state.

Disabling over-the-air subscription

The Savi system is supplied with the over-the-air subscription enabled. In a multi-shift environment, you may want to disable this mode of subscription. You can enable/disable overthe-air subscription with the base subscription button or with the Plantronics Control Panel.

While your system is idle, hold the subscription button and the PC phone button down simultaneously until the PC phone button LED flashes. It will flash red for 4 seconds when overthe-air subscription has been disabled or green for 4 seconds when enabled.

two lines or channels

Conference up to three

additional headsets

Multi-Phone Status (MPS) is supported for Microsoft Lync/Office Communicator and Skype. When a call is placed or received on your deskphone or mobile phone that is paired to a Plantronics Bluetooth headset, your presence in Microsoft Lync/Office Communicator and Skype will be automatically updated to reflect a busy status. When your call is terminated, your presence will return to its previous state.

If the mobile phone audio is in the mobile phone, you can move the audio to the headset by short pressing the base mobile button when the LED is off. To move the mobile phone audio from the headset back to the mobile phone, hold the base mobile button for 3 seconds until the solid green LED turns off.

While on a call, you can subscribe up to three additional headsets to your base for conferencing.

Join a conference call

While the base has an active link, place the guest headset into the primary user’s charging

cradle (this connects the headset to the base). When the base subscription light stops flashing green and yellow and remains yellow, the primary headset/user will hear a tone indicating a guest wishes to join the call.

Press the primary user’s call button to accept the guest headset within ten seconds. Otherwise,

the request is terminated and the guest will hear an error tone in their headset.

NOTE To connect a guest headset that is of a different variety to the primary headset, short press the

base subscription button while the base has an active link. Next, press the guest headset volume up button until the indicator light turns on. When the base subscription LED stops flashing green and yellow and remains solid yellow, the request to join will be heard in the primary user’s headset and the primary user will have to press their call button within 10 seconds to accept the guest.

Exit a conference call

Guests’ headsets can remain as guests through multiple calls.

To remove a guest headset, press the guest headset’s call button or dock the primary user’s headset in the charging cradle. A single tone in the master headset will be heard as each guest leaves the call.

View guest headsets

As you add headsets to the base, an additional headset icon will appear in the Plantronics Control Panel screen with a number from 1 to 3 indicating the number of additional headsets subscribed to the base. The first headset is the primary user’s headset and the number inside the next headset is the number of guest headsets subscribed to the base. The following example shows one primary headset with two guest headsets conferenced in.

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 dialling 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 AudioLimiting 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 customise 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. When Anti-startle is NOT SELECTED, the headset limits sound levels at 118 dBA to protect your hearing.

G616

G616 Acoustic Limiting provides additional hearing protection against acoustic shock. When G616 Acoustic Limiting is SELECTED, the system provides additional acoustic shock protection. Sound levels are limited to 102 dBA as recommended in the G616:2006 guideline issued by the Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF). When G616 Audio-Limiting is NOT SELECTED, the headset limits sound levels at 118 dBA to protect your hearing.

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.

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.
