Wearing the Headset  
Fitting the Headset with a Headband  
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 optimise the  
position of the headset.  
The headset can be rotated for wearing on the left or right ear.  
1 Hold the headband so it is aligned to receive the headset  
as shown and insert the headset into the headband.  
1 Slide the headset over and behind your ear and fit the  
ear tip into your ear.  
2 Place your index finger on the headset indicator light  
and gently push in towards your cheek. As the headset  
is pushed in, you will feel soft clicks as the pivoting earpiece  
moves the microphone close to your mouth.  
2 Rotate the headset up.

Placing the Headset in Sleep mode  
Subscribing a Headset  
If you won’t be using the headset for a long period of time and  
the headset will not be in the charging cradle, you can put the  
headset in sleep mode. With the headset idle, press the call  
control button for three seconds until you see the headset flash  
white twice. To wake the headset, press the call control button  
again and you will see two white flashes.  
The headset and USB adapter that are supplied together are  
already subscribed to each other. However, if you wish to use  
a new headset with your existing USB adapter or you need to  
restore subscription to your current headset, the units can be  
subscribed to each other by the following method:  
1 Ensure your headset is charged.  
2 Double press the subscription button on the USB  
Headset Tones  
adapter. The USB adapter will flash red and green.  
Out of range warning  
3 Press the volume up button (press volume down for left  
ear configuration) on the headset for three seconds until  
the headset indicator light turns solid white.  
If you are on a call and go out of the operating range, you will  
hear three low tones. You will hear a single mid tone when you are  
back in range.  
4 When the indicator light on the USB adapter goes solid  
green, the headset and the USB adapter are subscribed  
to one another.  
If you stay out of range, active calls will be suspended. Calls will  
be re-established when you walk back into range. If you remain  
out of range for more than 5 minutes, the system will drop the  
call.  
To ensure subscription was successful, press the call control  
button: the headset will flash white and the USB adapter will  
flash green.  
If you are not on a call and go out of the operating range and  
press the call control button, you will hear a single tone for the  
button press and three low tones for the failure to make a link.  
NOTE If the subscription process times out after two minutes or if  
the subscription process fails, the USB adapter indicator light will  
become solid red for four seconds and then return to its previous  
state. If this occurs, try to re-subscribe the headset again.  
Low battery warning  
If you are on a call, you will hear a repeated single low tone every  
15 seconds indicating that the battery is low. You should recharge  
the headset immediately.  
If you are not on a call and press the call control button, you will  
hear three low tones indicating that the battery is low. You should  
recharge the headset immediately.  
Ending Subscription  
If the USB adapter is in subscription mode and you want to stop  
the adapter from searching for a headset, press the subscrip-  
tion button again. The subscription light will turn solid red for four  
seconds and then go to its previous state.

headset battery status will be indicated with one of the following  
icons:  
100% 75% 50%

button (press volume up for left ear configuration) for three  
seconds.

Conferencing Up to Three Guest Headsets  
While on a call, you can subscribe up to three guest headsets to  
your USB adapter for conferencing. As you add headsets to the  
adapter, an additional headset icon will appear in the Plantronics  
Control Panel with a number from 1 to 3 indicating the number of  
guest headsets subscribed to the adapter.  
Guests may conference in as described below:  
1 While you are on a call, place the guests headset into  
subscription mode.  
2 Short press (less than one second) the subscription button on  
the USB adapter. The USB adapter light will flash yellow and  
green.  
3 The USB adapter light will then turn solid yellow and you will  
hear a tone in the master headset indicating a guest wishes to  
join the call.  
4 If you press the call control button on the master headset  
within five seconds, the guest is joined to the call.  
If you do not press the call control button within five seconds,  
the request to join the call is rejected and the guest will hear an  
error tone in their headset.  
5 Guests may leave the conference call by pressing their call  
control button.  
When they do you will hear a single tone in the master headset  
as each guest leaves the call.  
To see how many headsets are subscribed to the adapter, refer  
to the lower left-hand corner of the Plantronics Control Panel.  
The first headset is the master headset and the number inside  
the next headset is the number of guest headsets subscribed to  
the adapter. The examples below show 1, then 2, then 3 guest  
headsets subscribed to the adapter in addition to the master  
headset.

The Savi W440 is supplied with high range set as the default.  
Range can be minimized to help with PC buzzing, improve user  
density, or restrict range of users.  
The Savi W440 is supplied with auto answer NOT SELECTED  
as the default. Auto answer saves the user a button press to  
establish the radio link between headset and adapter.  
When auto answer is set to NOT SELECTED you must press  
the headset call control button to answer an incoming call.  
When Auto Answer is set to SELECTED an incoming call will be  
answered when the headset is removed from the charge cradle.  
To change the Range default in the software, go to : Start >  
Programs > Plantronics > Plantronics Control Panel > Device  
Settings – USB adapter. You can also change the range setting  
by holding in the subscription button of the USB adapter for three  
seconds while it is in an idle state. The USB adapter light will flash  
green for high range, yellow for medium range and red for low  
range.  
To change the default, go to: Start > Programs > Plantronics >  
Plantronics Control Panel > Device Settings – USB adapter.  
PC Audio Bandwidth  
The Savi W440 is supplied with narrowband audio as the default.  
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.  
When Range is set to HIGH a user will have up to 300 feet of  
range. When Range is set to MEDIUM a user will have up to 150  
feet of range. When Range is set to LOW a user will have up to  
50 feet of range.

narrowband and wideband audio by doing a short press (less  
than one second) followed by a long press (more than three  
seconds) on the USB adapter subscription button while it is in an  
idle state. The USB adapter light will flash red for four seconds  
upon entering narrowband mode and flash green for four seconds  
upon entering wideband mode. When switching between  
narrowband and wideband audio, you must re-establish the audio  
link for the changes to take effect.

and the ear. Please see Headset setup for optimal wearing position.  
Anti-Startle  
G616  
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 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.

Audio Limiting  
Hours on Phone Per Day  
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.  
The default is 8 hours. If you change the setting to 2/4/6 hours,  
the system will adjust the audio limiting algorithm accordingly.
