Change your default outbound line
This feature sets the preferred outbound line when the headset call control button is pushed while all lines are idle. With the system idle, you can change your default outbound line by pressing the desired outbound base button until it flashes green four times.
You can also change the default outbound line using the Plantronics Control Panel by going to Start > Programs > Plantronics > Plantronics Control Panel > Device Settings > Base.
Auto Connect Feature
Once you have paired and connected your mobile phone to the base, the base will automatically connect to it when you are in range of your base. You can manually disconnect your mobile phone from the base by short-pressing the base Bluetooth pairing button when it is solid blue.

Daily Use
Incoming Calls
Answer a Call
The easiest way to answer an incoming call from the desk phone, mobile phone, or computer is to press the headset call button when you hear an incoming call.
Alternatively, you can answer an incoming call by pressing the base button for the line that is
ringing.
NOTE: If you don’t have remote call control through a lifter (HL10) or cable (EHS), manually remove desk phone handset before each call.
NOTE: Remote answer/end capability for the PC is a software feature and dependent on a compatible softphone.

Visit plantronics.com/software for more information.
Answer a Second Incoming Call With Your Headset
If you are on a call and a second call comes in from one of the other devices, you can flash (answer) to the second call by pressing the headset volume button up or down for 1.5 seconds. This will put the first call on hold while answering the incoming call.
You can flash to answer multiple incoming calls from the PC, however only one call is supported at any given time on the mobile phone or desk phone. You will need to manage multiple calls on the desk phone or mobile phone on the devices themselves.
Answer a Call While Listening to Music or Audio
If you are listening to music on a supported media player and a call comes in, the base will pause the music when you answer your call and resume the music when your call is over. Plantronics software must be installed for this feature to function. The Action to Media Player settings are defined in the preference tab of the Plantronics Control Panel.
Answer a Call with Your Mobile Phone
If you answer an incoming mobile call using the answer button on the mobile phone, the audio will remain in the phone. If you answer an incoming call using the headset or base, the audio will be in the headset.
Reject a Mobile Call
When you receive an incoming mobile phone call, the mobile button on the base will flash green. To reject the call, hold the base mobile button down for 3 seconds.
Multi-Phone Status
Multi-Phone Status (MPS) is supported for Microsoft Lync/Office Communicator and Skype. When a call is placed or received on your desk phone or mobile phone that is paired to a Plantronics Bluetooth headset, your presence in Microsoft Lync/Office Communicator and Skype will be automatically updated to reflect a busy status. When your call is terminated, your presence will return to its previous state.
Mobile Phone and Headset Audio
If you answer an incoming mobile call using the answer button on the mobile phone, the audio will remain in the phone. If you answer an incoming call using the headset or base, the audio will be in the headset.
If the mobile phone audio is in the mobile phone, you can move the audio to the headset by short pressing the base mobile button when the LED is off. To move the mobile phone audio from the headset back to the mobile phone, hold the base mobile button for 3 seconds until the solid green LED turns off. The audio will be pushed back to the mobile phone.
Combine Audio From Any Two Lines or Channels
You can combine the audio of any two devices by simultaneously holding the base buttons of any two of the three base buttons until the LEDs become solid green. This is useful as a mini-teleconference call.
