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 the silver trim with four dots on the front of the base.
Automatic secure subscription
With your system idle, docking a new headset will automatically subscribe it to the base,
making it the primary headset. The base subscription LED will blink green/red during
subscription mode and remain green when the new subscription is established.

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.

simultaneously until the PC phone button LED flashes. It will flash red for 4 seconds when over-
the-air subscription has been disabled or green for 4 seconds when enabled.

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.
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.

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 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 Anti-
startle 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.

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.

dial tone enabled
If this feature is selected, when a PC radio link is established, 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, 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 “ dial
tone enabled” is selected, then every time a PC radio link is established the 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.
