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.
Audio Limiting Audio Limiting provides advanced hearing protection for daily noise exposure. When AudioLimiting is SELECTED, the system monitors and controls sound to ensure audio levels do not exceed 80 dBA or 85 dBA (whichever is selected) specified by current and imminent EU legislation.

Troubleshooting Headset 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 optimize the position of the headset. See Position Your Headset. Talk time performance is significantly degraded even after a full recharge. Battery is wearing out. Contact us at plantronics.com/support . I can’t hear a dial tone in the headset. Make sure your headset is charged.
People I talk to can hear a buzz in the background. Move the base further away from your phone. See Position Your Base. If the base power supply is plugged into a power strip, plug it into the wall directly. Desk Phone Mobile The handset lifter is installed but does not lift the handset. Be sure the handset lifter power cord is firmly pushed into the handset lifter jack on the base.
If the distortion is still present, lower the volume on the headset. I can no longer hear any audio through my PC Speakers. For Windows XP systems • Refer to the “Audio” tab of the “Sounds and Audio Devices” option in your PC Control Panel. • Under “Sound Playback”, change the default setting from Savi Office to your PC speakers. Click “OK” to confirm your change. For Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems • Refer to the “Sound” option in your PC Control Panel.
