DECT Information

DECT 6.0 products should never be used outside the region in which they were originally
purchased and intended to be used.
The enclosed DECT 6.0 wireless product uses restricted wireless radio frequencies which vary by
country. DECT 6.0 devices are generally authorized for use in The Americas. Use of this DECT 6.0
product in unauthorized countries is a violation of law, may disrupt telecommunications networks
and devices, and can subject you to fines and penalties by regulatory agencies.

DECT Enhanced Security

Plantronics is a member of the DECT Forum and has fully adopted their recommendations for
enhancements to security within all DECT products.
Plantronics DECT-based products now fully incorporate the latest recommendations on Enhanced
Security from the DECT Forum and ETSI. These improvements cover registration, authentication,
authorization and encryption procedures. Plantronics DECT products are now secure against all
the known vulnerabilities that were highlighted by the public announcements of the Chaos
Council in 2009.
Plantronics Savi 8200 Series DECT products have been tested against and passed the DECT
Forum security certification requirements and consequently have been granted 'DECT Forum
security' logo certification.
Plantronics products using the new enhanced version of DECT that includes these security
improvements are marked on the base with the DECT Forum security logo.

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 ships with the over-the-air headset subscription enabled. In a multi-shift
environment, you may want to disable this mode of subscription.
To disable over-the air subscription, while your system is idle, hold the subscription button and the
base computer button down simultaneously until the base computer button LED flashes (green for
enabled, red for disabled).
You can also adjust the over-the-air subscription setting in Plantronics Hub Settings > Wireless. .
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 Enhanced Security headset will play a security notification tone.
• The mono-colored LED on the headset will flash 3 times, then 2 times. This flash pattern is
repeated 2 times.

Troubleshooting

Headset

My headset is unstable.

When you wear the headset, the microphone should rest as close
to your cheek as possible without touching. The microphone can
be adjusted inward by the pivoting earpiece to optimize the
position of the headset. See Position Your Headset.

Talk time performance is
significantly degraded even after a
full recharge.

Battery is wearing out. Contact us at plantronics.com/support .

I can’t hear a dial tone in the
headset.

Make sure your headset is charged.
Make sure your headset is subscribed to base. See Base
Subscription.
Press the base desk phone button.
Make sure the lifter is lifting the handset high enough to operate
the hookswitch; set to a higher setting if necessary.
Adjust the configuration switch on the base until a dial tone is
heard. The default A works for most phones. See Make a Desk
Phone Call.
Fine tune the listening volume with the headset call control button.
See Adjust Your Headset Volume.
If the volume is still too low, adjust the desk phone listening
volume on the base. See Adjust Your Headset Volume.

I hear static.

Make sure there is at least 12 inches between your base and your
computer, and 6 inches between your base and your telephone. If
adjusting the distance doesn’t help, your headset is going out of
range, move closer to the base. See Position Your Base.

The sound is distorted.

Lower the desk phone speaking volume and/or desk phone
listening volume on the base. For most telephones the correct
setting is position 3. See Adjust Your Headset Volume.
If your desk phone has a volume control, lower until the distortion
disappears.
If the distortion is still present, adjust the headset volume control
to lower the headset speaker volume. See Adjust Your Headset
Volume.
Make sure there is 12 inches between your base and your
computer, and 6 inches between your base and your telephone.
See Position Your Base.

I hear echo in the headset.

Lower the desk phone speaking volume and/or desk phone
listening volume on the base. For most telephones the correct
setting is position 3. See Adjust Your Headset Volume.
If the audio level is too low in this position, increase the headset
volume. See Adjust Your Headset Volume.
If your speaking volume is too low for your listener in this position,
adjust the position of the headset to make sure the microphone is
as close as possible to your mouth.
Adjust the configuration switch on the base until a dial tone is
heard. The default A works for most phones. See Make a Desk
Phone Call.

People I talk to can hear a buzz in
the background.

Move the base further away from your phone. See Position Your
Base.
If the base power supply is plugged into a power strip, plug it into
the wall directly.

Desk Phone

Mobile

The handset lifter is installed but
does not lift the handset.

Be sure the handset lifter power cord is firmly pushed into the
handset lifter jack on the base.

Pairing problems

Ensure the Bluetooth LED on the base flashes red and blue by
pressing the Bluetooth button for four seconds.
Ensure the Bluetooth mobile phone is in search mode.
When an active Bluetooth connection has been made, the base
Bluetooth LED is solid blue.

Softphone

Why doesn’t the base automatically
reconnect with my mobile phone?

Ensure Plantronics Hub software had been installed.

When I dial from my softphone
application, nothing happens.

Ensure your headset is charged.

Adjust the "Auto-connect to mobile phone" in Plantronics Hub
Settings > Wireless. Make sure that "Never" is not selected.

Ensure your headset is subscribed to the base. See Subscribing a
Headset.
Ensure that the Plantronics software is installed. To download, visit
plantronics.com/software.
Ensure that you are using a compatible softphone application. For
a list of compatible softphones, visit plantronics.com/software.
If the Plantronics software is not installed and you do not have a
compatible softphone, you must first press the base computer call
button and then use the softphone interface to place/answer/end
calls.
Ensure that the headset is the default sound device by going to
your Sound Control Panel (Windows) or your Sound System
Preferences (Mac).
Restart your computer.

Speaking and/or listening volume is
too low or too high.

Adjust headset listening volume with volume button.
Adjust listening/speaking volumes in the computer’s sound control
panel/system preferences.
Adjust listening/speaking volumes in the softphone application.

The sound is distorted or I hear an
echo in the headset.

Reduce speaking and/or listening volume on the computer using
your softphone application.
Point microphone towards your chin.
If the distortion is still present, lower the volume on the headset.

I can no longer hear any audio
through my PC Speakers.
