INSTALLING PERSONOCALL® SOFTWARE

Plantronics PerSonoCall® software provides the link between your Bluetooth headset and 

compatible softphone applications on your computer. PerSonoCall software provides the 

ability to remotely detect and answer/end a call from your softphone application via the 

headset call control button.

In addition, PerSonoCall provides some basic configuration and status information about 

the system. See page 10 for more details.

Check the PerSonoCall compatibility list at www.plantronics.com/personocall for the 

most current information on softphone compatibility. If your softphone is not currently 

supported by PerSonoCall, please refer to page 14.

1.  With the CD inserted, go to the PerSonoCall main screen and click on “Install the 

PerSonoCall Software”.

2.  Your softphone may require you to choose which audio device you wish to use. Please 

refer to softphone documentation for details.

NOTE: When the USB Bluetooth adapter is installed, it becomes the default audio device in

your computer. You can set preferences manually in the Windows® operating system through

the Sounds and Audio Devices option in the Control Panel.

NOTE: Once installation is complete, we recommend that you set PerSonoCall to launch

whenever the Windows® operating system starts. See page 10 for details.

System tray icons

After installing the software, one of the four system tray icons will appear in the tray 

bar at the bottom of your screen showing the status of headset communication with 

PerSonoCall.

: No headset detected 

: Headset detected, no radio link to USB Bluetooth adapter 

: Headset detected and radio link to USB Bluetooth adapter active 

: Headset detected and radio link to USB Bluetooth adapter is locked on

NOTE: Some PerSonoCall features are grayed out and not applicable to the .Audio 910 system.

Headset status box 

Provides information you may need for technical assistance. The headset indicators 

listed will be checked if active.

Softphone status box

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

For softphones not compatible with PerSonoCall

Check the PerSonoCall compatibility list at www.plantronics.com/personocall for the most 

current information on softphone compatibility.

If your softphone is not currently supported by PerSonoCall, remote detection and 

answer/end via the headset does not function. Pressing the call control button on the 

headset will only open and close the radio link providing audio; you must answer the call 

from the softphone.

To answer or end a call, briefly press the call control button.

To make a call, enter number on your phone, press send and the call is automatically 

transferred to headset; no need to press the call control button.
