Software Installation

It is highly recommended that you use the CD to install the
Plantronics software. Though your Calisto P240 USB Handset
audio will operate without the software, it will severely limit the
handset’s full capabilities. If you do not have the CD that came
with the Calisto P240 handset the software is available for
download at

plantronics.com/software.

After installation, Start > Programs > Plantronics > Plantronics
Control Panel to access the software.

Software Features

NOTE

Some parameters that do not apply to a Plantronics

device may appear grayed out.

Media Player Media Player is located under the Preferences
Tab. Media Player controls the behavior of iTunes, Winamp, and
Windows Media Player when a softphone call is received. The
default setting is Pause/Play with Mute/Unmute.

Multi-Softphone Status (MSS) Multi-Softphone Status is
supported for both Microsoft Office Communicator and for
Skype.

When engaged in a call using any alternative softphone
supported by Plantronics Software your availability status within
Microsoft Office Communicator will automatically change to “On
a Call” indicating which application you are currently using for the
call. Fellow Microsoft Office Communicator users will see your
status change outwardly, as well.

When using an alternative softphone to Skype, your status will
simply change within Skype to the “Do Not Disturb” icon, which
will be displayed outwardly as well.

Voice Comments Voice Comments is supported on all of
Plantronics devices once the software is installed.

Voice Comments adds four buttons to the PowerPoint “Review”
tab to allow you to insert, delete and navigate audio voice
comments embedded in a PowerPoint document.

“Insert Voice Comment” lets you record and embed a voice
comment in a PowerPoint document. It pulls up an online screen
recorder where you can, through the Plantronics device, record
audible feedback which then becomes part of the PowerPoint
document. You can also click a previously recorded voice
comment which is represented by an icon in the document and
click “Delete Voice Comment” to remove the recorded message.

The recipient of the document can navigate between the
recorded comments using “Next Voice Comment” and “Previous
Voice Comment”. Using these navigation buttons, the audio
automatically plays. Alternatively, double-clicking the icon plays
the voice comment.
