Ring both headset and PC

This feature gives you the option to have the PC ringtone played on both the headset as well as the PC speaker.

When this feature is selected, the PC ringtone will be heard on both the PC speaker as well as the headset.

When this feature is not selected, the PC ringtone will only be heard on either the headset or the PC speaker based on how the PC audio has been set up.

Maintain headset to PC link

This feature forces the radio link to the PC to stay active even after the call has ended. This can 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.
