Audio Bandwidth for Desk phone and PC  
Wideband audio delivers heightened speech clarity and life-like fidelity. However, wideband  
audio consumes more battery power and has more stringent access criteria which reduces the  
number of systems that can be deployed in a small area. All PCs support wideband audio but  
your desk phone must support wideband audio to experience the benefit of selecting  
“wideband” for that device. When switching between narrowband and wideband audio, you  
must re-establish the audio link for the changes to take effect.  
Bluetooth Enabled  
This feature disables/enables use of the Bluetooth interface to the mobile phone.  
The Bluetooth interface to the mobile phone can also be disabled/enabled manually by  
pressing the subscription and base mobile phone button until the base mobile phone LED  
flashes. When the base mobile phone button LED flashes red four times, Bluetooth is disabled  
and when it flashes green four times, it is enabled.  
A separate utility is also available at plantronics.com/software .  
Auto Connect to Mobile Phone  
This feature automatically establishes a Bluetooth link to the mobile phone whenever the  
mobile phone is within range. See the following setting for an optional restriction on this  
function.  
Stop Auto Connect to Mobile When Headset Is Docked  
If this feature is enabled, the base will not automatically establish a Bluetooth connection to  
your mobile phone when the headset is docked. Upon undocking the headset, the base will  
automatically establish a Bluetooth connection if “auto connect to mobile phone” is selected.  
Initiate Mobile Voice Commands  
This feature enables/disables mobile phone voice commands for hands-free dialing with your  
mobile phone. When this is enabled, you will be prompted for voice commands by your mobile  
phone when a call is initiated with the base mobile button. This feature requires mobile phone  
support for voice commands.  
Over-The-Air Subscription  
This feature allows a headset to be subscribed to the base without physically docking the  
headset. It is required when conferencing multiple models of Plantronics headsets.  
For more on subscription, see Base Subscription Buttons. For more on headset guest  
conferencing, see Conference Up to Three Additional Headsets.

Audio Limiting provides advanced hearing protection for daily noise exposure. When Audio-  
Limiting is SELECTED, the system monitors and controls sound to ensure audio levels do not  
exceed 80 dBA or 85 dBA (whichever is selected) specified by current and imminent EU  
legislation. When Audio-Limiting is set to NOT SELECTED, the headset limits sound levels at 118  
dBA to protect your hearing.  
Hours On the Phone Per Day  
This feature allows users to customize the time variable used in the Audio Limiting algorithm  
to match their daily use. Choose a value that best represents the typical use of your  
Plantronics headset.  
Anti-Startle  
Anti-startle provides advanced hearing protection against sudden loud sounds. When Anti-  
startle is SELECTED, the system identifies and eliminates sudden loud sounds and rapidly  
reduces them to a comfortable level. When Anti-startle is NOT SELECTED, the headset limits  
sound levels at 118 dBA to protect your hearing.  
G616  
G616 Acoustic Limiting provides additional hearing protection against acoustic shock. When  
G616 Acoustic Limiting is SELECTED, the system provides additional acoustic shock protection.  
Sound levels are limited to 102 dBA as recommended in the G616: 2006 guideline issued by  
the Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF). When G616 Audio-Limiting is NOT  
SELECTED, the headset limits sound levels at 118 dBA to protect your hearing.

eliminate the need to re-establish the radio link when switching between PC audio  
applications.

Microsoft Office Communicator/Lync Dial-tone Enabled  
If this feature is selected, when a PC radio link is established, Microsoft Office Communicator/  
Lync will assume the user is trying to place a VoIP call and provide a dial tone.  
If this feature is not selected, when a PC radio link is established, Microsoft Office  
Communicator/Lync will sit idle.  
Audio Sensing Enabled  
Audio Sensing is a special feature supported by Plantronics wireless devices that can detect an  
audio signal at the USB port and automatically establish a PC radio link between the Base and  
wireless headset without the user having to press the PC call button. If the parameter  
“Microsoft Office Communicator/Lync Dial-tone Enabled” is selected, then every time a PC  
radio link is established the Microsoft Office Communicator/Lync dial tone will be heard.  
However, the user may have pressed the PC call button to listen to music, etc., and does not  
want to hear the dial-tone. In this case, if the user selects the “Audio Sensing Enabled”  
parameter, the radio link will be established automatically when any PC audio is detected at  
the USB port, thus eliminating the need for the user to press the PC call button.
