To make a call, press the call control button to take the softphone off 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.
