The USB adapter is automatically powered on upon inserting into the USB port of the computer.

INSTALLING PERSONOCALL SOFTWARE

Plantronics PerSonoCall software provides the link between your headset and the softphone application 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.

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 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 installed we recommend that you set PerSonoCall to launch whenever the Windows operating system starts.

System Tray Icons

After installing the software, one of the two system tray icons will appear in the tray bar at the bottom of your screen showing status of headset communication with PerSonoCall.

Headset detected

Configuration and status

Right click on the headset system tray icon and choose "Options". This will bring up the PerSonoCall Basic Options and Current Status Screens.

Refer to online application help for explanation details on the PerSonoCall software.

CONNECT HEADSET

Quick Disconnect™ Connector

This feature allows you to place a call on hold and move away from the phone without removing the headset. When you separate the Quick Disconnect, you place an ongoing conversation on hold.

Before using your headset, join the Quick Disconnect to the mating connector of the modular adapter cable.

To put your call on hold, grasp Quick Disconnect, as shown, and pull straight apart. To resume your conversation, reconnect the halves.

USING YOUR HEADSET

Answering/Ending/Making Calls with PersonoCall on Softphone

To make a call, simply dial the number via your softphone application.

To answer or end a call, press the answer/end button.

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 not function; you must answer the call from the softphone.

Putting a call on hold

If your softphone supports this feature, holding down the answer/end button for 2 seconds will place the call on hold. Refer to your phone's user guide for additional features available while on hold. Pressing the answer/end button again will take the call off hold.

NOTE: Mute is not activated if the button is held for more than 2 seconds.
