Replacing Your Headset Battery
Placing the Headset in Sleep Mode
If you won’t be using the headset for a long period of time and
the headset will not be in the charging cradle, you can put the
headset in sleep mode. With the headset idle, press the call
control button for three seconds until you see the headset flash
white twice. To wake the headset, press the call control button
again and you will see two white flashes.
1 Once your spare battery is fully charged, remove the
spare battery from the battery compartment on the
side of the Deluxe Charging Cradle or from the back of
the Deluxe USB Charging Cable. Because the battery is
hot-swappable, you won’t lose an active call if you replace the
battery within five minutes.
Battery Storage Time
If you remove a fully charged battery from the headset, it will
provide up to 75 hours of battery storage time if stored under
normal storage conditions.
Headset Tones
Out of range warning
If you are on a call and go out of the operating range, you will
hear three low tones. You will hear a single mid tone when you are
back in range.
2 Disconnect the battery from the headset.
If you stay out of range, active calls will be suspended. Calls will
be re-established when you walk back into range. If you remain
out of range for more than 5 minutes, the system will drop the
call.
If you are not on a call and go out of the operating range and
press the call control button, you will hear a single tone for the
button press and three low tones for the failure to make a link.
3 Slide the charged battery onto the headset until you
hear a click.
Low battery warning
If you are on a call, you will hear a repeated single low tone every
15 seconds indicating that the battery is low. You should recharge
the headset immediately.
If you are not on a call and press the call control button, you will
hear three low tones indicating that the battery is low. You should
recharge the headset immediately.
4 Charge the spent battery by placing it in the Deluxe
Charge Cradle battery compartment and closing the
door, or on the Deluxe USB Charging cable as shown.
Battery Life
At the lower right corner of your screen in your system tray, your
headset battery status will be indicated with one of the following
icons:
100% 75% 50%
25%
0%
A warning will be issued if your headset is critically low.

4 When the indicator light on the USB adapter goes solid
green, the headset and the USB adapter are subscribed
to one another.
Headset Indicator Light
If you are not on a call, you can toggle the headset in-use
indicator light on and off by pressing the headset volume down
button (press volume up for left ear configuration) for three
seconds.
To ensure subscription was successful, press the call control
button: the headset will flash white and the USB adapter will
flash green.
NOTE If the subscription process times out after two minutes or if
the subscription process fails, the USB adapter indicator light will
become solid red for four seconds and then return to its previous
state. If this occurs, try to re-subscribe the headset again.
Subscribing a Headset
The headset and USB adapter that are supplied together are
already subscribed to each other. However, if you wish to use
a new headset with your existing USB adapter or you need to
restore subscription to your current headset, the units can be
subscribed to each other by the following method:
Ending Subscription
If the USB adapter is in subscription mode and you want to stop
the adapter from searching for a headset, press the subscription
button again. The subscription light will turn solid red for four
seconds and then go to its previous state.
1 Ensure your headset is charged.
2 Double press the subscription button on the USB
adapter. The USB adapter will flash red and green.
3 Press the volume up button (press volume down for left
ear configuration) on the headset for three seconds until
the headset indicator light turns solid white.

Conferencing Up to Three Guest Headsets
While on a call, you can subscribe up to three guest headsets to
your USB adapter for conferencing. As you add headsets to the
adapter, an additional headset icon will appear in the Plantronics
Control Panel with a number from 1 to 3 indicating the number of
guest headsets subscribed to the adapter.
Guests may conference in as described below:
1 While you are on a call, place the guest’s headset into
subscription mode.
2 Short press (less than one second) the subscription button on
the USB adapter. The USB adapter light will flash yellow and
green.
3 The USB adapter light will then turn solid yellow and you will
hear a tone in the master headset indicating a guest wishes to
join the call.
4 If you press the call control button on the master headset
within five seconds, the guest is joined to the call.
If you do not press the call control button within five seconds,
the request to join the call is rejected and the guest will hear an
error tone in their headset.
5 Guests may leave the conference call by pressing their call
control button.
When they do you will hear a single tone in the master headset
as each guest leaves the call.
To see how many headsets are subscribed to the adapter, refer
to the lower left-hand corner of the Plantronics Control Panel.

The Savi W445 is supplied with high range set as the default.

The Savi W445 is supplied with auto answer NOT SELECTED
as the default. Auto answer saves the user a button press to

the headset call control button to answer an incoming call.
When Auto Answer is set to SELECTED an incoming call will be

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.
To change the default, go to: Start > Programs > Plantronics >
Plantronics Control Panel > Device Settings – USB adapter.
PC Audio Bandwidth
The Savi W445 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.
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.

narrowband and wideband audio by doing a short press (less
than one second) followed by a long press (more than three
seconds) on the USB adapter subscription button while it is in an
idle state. The USB adapter light will flash red for four seconds
upon entering narrowband mode and flash green for four seconds
upon entering wideband mode. When switching between
narrowband and wideband audio, you must re-establish the audio
link for the changes to take effect.

Anti-Startle
G616
Anti-startle provides advanced hearing protection against sudden
loud sounds. When Anti-startle is SELECTED, the system
identifies and eliminates sudden loud sounds and rapidly reduces
them to a comfortable level. When Anti-startle is NOT SELECTED,
the headset limits sound levels at 118 dBA to protect your
hearing.
G616 Acoustic Limiting provides additional hearing protection
against acoustic shock. When G616 Acoustic Limiting is
SELECTED, the system provides additional acoustic shock
protection. Sound levels are limited to 102 dBA as recommended
in the G616:2006 guideline issued by the Australian
Communications Industry Forum (ACIF). When G616 Audio-
Limiting is NOT SELECTED, the headset limits sound levels at
118 dBA to protect your hearing.

Audio Limiting
Hours on Phone Per Day
Audio Limiting provides advanced hearing protection for daily
noise exposure. When Audio-Limiting 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. When Audio-Limiting is set
to NOT SELECTED, the headset limits sound levels at 118 dBA to
protect your hearing.
The default is 8 hours. If you change the setting to 2/4/6 hours,
the system will adjust the audio limiting algorithm accordingly.
