Softphone
When I dial from my softphone
application, nothing happens. 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 – Launch audio devices control panel.
Ensure that you are using a compatible softphone application.
For a list of compatible softphones, visit

If you are using a wireless headset, ensure your headset is
subscribed to the USB adapter. See subscription instructions that
came with your wireless headset.
Ensure your headset is charged.
Ensure that the Plantronics software is installed. To download,

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

Speaking and/or listening volume is
too low or too high. Adjust headset listening volume.
