Base Features
This section describes the base, its buttons and their functions.
Basics
Base Buttons
When you press on a base button, you are opening a phone line/audio channel. Depending on
the circumstances, you won’t necessarily hear a dial tone until you’ve dialed from your phone.
The base buttons allow you to switch to a different phone line/audio channel.
Change your default outbound line
This feature sets the preferred outbound line when the headset call control button is pushed
while all lines are idle.
With the system idle, you can change your default outbound line by pressing the desired
outbound base button until it flashes green four times.
You can also change the default outbound line using the Plantronics Hub by going to Start >
Programs > Plantronics > Plantronics Hub> Settings > General > Default Phone Line.
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.
Base Subscription Button
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.
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
1
With your system idle and your headset undocked, double press the subscription button on the
base. The subscription light will flash green and red.
2
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.
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:
• The subscription LED (lower left) will flash GREEN 3 times followed by YELLOW 2 times. This
flash pattern repeats 2 times.
If an Enhanced Security headset is subscribed to an older base:
• The mono-colored LED on the headset will flash 3 times, then 2 times. This flash pattern is
repeated 2 times.
Disabling Over-the-Air Subscription
The Savi system ships 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 over-the-air
subscription with the base subscription button or with the Plantronics Hub.
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 over-
the-air subscription has been disabled or green for 4 seconds when enabled.
You can also enable/disable over-the-air subscription with the Plantronics Hub. Go to Start >
Programs > Plantronics > Plantronics Hub > Settings > Wireless > Over-the-Air-Subscription.

from the headset back to the mobile phone, hold the base mobile button for 3 seconds until
the solid green LED turns off. The audio will be pushed back to the mobile phone.
You can combine the audio of any two devices by simultaneously holding the base buttons of
any two of the three base buttons until the LEDs become solid green.
This is useful as a mini-teleconference call.
Combine Audio From Any
Two Lines or Channels
While on a call you can subscribe up to three additional headsets to your base for conferencing.
Conference Up to Three
Additional Headsets
Join a conference call
1
While the base has an active link, place the guest headset into primary user’s charge 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.
2
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 different variety than 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 charge 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 Hub
screen with a number from 1 to 3 indicating the number of additional headset 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 2 guest headsets conferenced in.
Conferencing Additional
Headsets 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 conferenced 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 version of DECT for all calls. This is because older system
components are not able to support Enhanced Security.
All subscription details above apply when conferencing 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:
• The subscription LED (lower left) will flash GREEN 3 times followed by YELLOW 2 times. This
flash pattern repeats 2 times.
If an Enhanced Security headset is subscribed to an older base:
• The mono-colored LED on the headset will flash 3 times, then 2 times. This flash pattern is
repeated 2 times.

Default Phone Line for Outbound Calls
Set the preferred phone line for outbound calls when you press the headset call control button.
To change the default outbound line with the base see Change your default outbound line.
Auto Answer
When enabled, this feature will configure your headset to automatically answer a call when it
is removed from the charge cradle.
Microsoft Office Communicator/Lync Dial Tone
This feature enables/disables mobile phone voice commands for hands-free dialing 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.
If this feature is selected, when a PC radio link is established, Microsoft Office Communicator/
Lync 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, Microsoft Office
Communicator/Lync will sit idle.
Audio Sensing
Audio Sensing is a special feature supported by Plantronics wireless devices that can detect an
audio signal at the USB port and automatically establish the radio link between the base and
the wireless headset without the user having to press the call control button. When the
Configure Lync Dial Tone parameter is set to On, every time the user presses the call control
button, the Lync dial tone will be heard (assuming the user wants to make a softphone call).
However, the user may have pressed the call control button to listen to PC music, etc., and
does not want to hear the dial tone. In this case, if the user sets the Audio Sensing parameter
to On, 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 call control button.
Second Inbound Call
When you are on a call and a second call comes in, this feature enables you to control the ring
behavior for the second call. The options are for the call to Ring Continuously until answered
(default), for the call to Ring Once and then be silent until answered, or for the call to be
ignored completely if Ignore Ring is selected.
Mute Reminder Volume
Controls the volume of the tone to remind you your microphone is muted, or turn the mute
tone off.
