2 Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port on your computer. A blue light will illuminate through the buttons on the top of the unit indicating the speakerphone is powered on and operating.

2.2 External Speakers/Headphone Connection

The MCD100-M is equipped with 3.5mm stereo Headphones / External Speaker connector. Connecting your computer's loudspeakers (or headphones) to the MCD100-M will disable the MCD100-M's internal speaker. Your computer's audio (music, VoIP communication, or any other) will be passed through to the external speakers, maintaining the same sound quality your computer can deliver. While the internal speaker is disabled when using this connection, the MCD100-M's internal microphone is still functional.

2.3 Confirming MCD100-M is Configured as Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 Speakerphone

MCD100-M works plug-and-play with Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 and requires no drivers or additional software. For most computers, MCD100-M should become the default speakerphone device when connected to your computer. To assure MCD100-M is configured properly as the Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 speakerphone, follow these steps:

1 Click the drop down arrow on the upper left corner.

Connect View Tools Help Recent Contacts

2 Select the "Tools" option

3 Select "Set Up Audio and Video..."

The Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 Audio and Video wizard will now guide you through 3 setup steps:

Office Communicator Connect View Tools Help Recent Contacts Add a Contact... Create New Group Always on Top View Received Files View Conversation History Set Up Audio and Video... Call-Forwarding Settings... Options...

A) In step A you will set the Handset or Headset you want to use. If MCD100-M is the only Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 device connected to your PC, make sure MCD100-M is selected in the drop down menu, or, make sure the headset or handset you wish to use is selected. Click Next.

Set Up Audio and Video - Handset or Hoadset Handset or Headset Select the handset or headset you want to use to place and receive calls using your computer Default - Plantronics MCD100 Speaker Test Microphone Test microphone levels by speaking into the microphone with your normal speaking voice. < Back Next > Rain Cancel

B) In step B, you will set the Speakerphone you want to use. Make sure the Speakerphone is set for MCD100-M by default. If it is not, select then select MCD100-M in the drop down lists under Speaker and Microphone. Click Next.

Set Up Audio and Video - Speaker/Microphone or Speakerphone Speaker/Microphone or Speakerphone Select the speaker/microphone or speakerphone you want to use Default - Plantronics MCD100 Speaker Plantronics MCD 100 Text Microphone Plantronics MCD 100 Text microphone levels by speaking into the microphone with your normal speaking voice. < Back Next > Finish Cancel

At this point you may click Test to play a tone through the MCD100-M speaker and adjust the speaker volume. For Windows XP the speaker slider will not adjust the volume on MCD100-M (because of how MCD100-M is required to enumerate to meet Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 Certification requirements) so the volume must be adjusted using the MCD100-M controls on the unit. The microphone can also be adjusted at this point using the slider. Both sliders operate correctly with Windows Vista.

C) In step C, you will set the audio output location for your Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 program sounds. It is recommended that you use your PC speakers for this setting if you have a sound card and speakers available because system sounds can be distracting when played through MCD100-M during a call.
