My headset is unstable.

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. See

Wearing the headset

.

When I dial from my softphone
application, nothing happens.

Ensure your headset is charged.

Ensure your headset is subscribed to the USB adapter. See

Subscribing a Headset.

Ensure that the Plantronics software is installed. To download, visit

plantronics.com/software.

Ensure that you are using a compatible softphone application. For a list of compatible softphones,
visit

If the Plantronics software is not installed and you do not have a compatible softphone, you must
first press the call control button and then use the softphone interface to place/answer/end calls.

Ensure that the headset is the default sound device. The Plantronics control panel will launch the
sound devices control panel by going to Plantronics Control Panel > Preferences > General –
