Range
The Savi W445A is supplied with high range set as the default.
Range can be minimised to help with PC buzzing, improve user
density, or restrict range of users.
To change the Range default in the software, go to: Start >
Programs > Plantronics > Plantronics Control Panel > Device
Settings – USB adapter. You can also change the range setting
by holding in the subscription button of the USB adapter for three
seconds while it is in an idle state. The USB adapter light will flash
green for high range, yellow for medium range and red for low
range.
When Range is set to HIGH a user will have up to 300 feet of
range. When Range is set to MEDIUM a user will have up to 150
feet of range. When Range is set to LOW a user will have up to
50 feet of range.
Auto answer
The Savi W445A is supplied with auto answer NOT SELECTED
as the default. Auto answer saves the user a button press to
establish the radio link between headset and adapter.
When auto answer is set to NOT SELECTED you must press
the headset call control button to answer an incoming call.
When Auto Answer is set to SELECTED, an incoming call will be
answered when the headset is removed from the charging cradle.
To change the default, go to: Start > Programs > Plantronics >
Plantronics Control Panel > Device Settings – USB adapter.
PC audio bandwidth
The Savi W445A is supplied with narrowband audio as the
default. Wideband audio delivers heightened speech clarity and
life-like fidelity. 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. All PCs
support wideband audio.
