Range

The Savi W445 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.

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.

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.

Auto Answer

The Savi W445 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 default, go to: Start > Programs > Plantronics > Plantronics Control Panel > Device Settings – USB adapter.

PC Audio Bandwidth

The Savi W445 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.
