Orange light: Initiating a connection. If the light never changes from this color, then no connection could be established.

Green light: Connection is established and active.

Red (flashing) light: Stand by connection --You may freely flip between modes on the Savi, and it will place the other call on standby (please note, this caller will hear silence, not hold music).

Example: If you’re on a call via Bluetooth and you receive a call on your desk phone, you can press the phone mode button (it will turn green) and it will place the Bluetooth call on standby (red flashing) to allow you to answer the incoming phone call.

Basic Functions

Flash between calls:

During a call, long press the volume button (labeled 1 in the image above) up or down for 1.5 seconds.

Conferencing two calls:

You can combine the audio of any two modes by simultaneously holding down the mode buttons of any two of the headset's modes until both of the LEDs become solid green.

Bluetooth pairing button

For use when pairing to another Bluetooth device and to toggle the auto-connect feature off/on. Labeled 11 in the image above.

Bluetooth pairing:

If this is the only information you need, you can view the dedicated Bluetooth pairing article here!

  • Press and hold down the Bluetooth pairing button (#11 in the image above) until the light begins flashing red/blue (about 3-5 seconds)
  • Once flashing, search for the headset via your Bluetooth device. Once found, select it and attempt to pair
  • If prompted for a passkey, enter 0000

Bluetooth auto-connect: The Savi will automatically connect via Bluetooth once your device is in range. To toggle this feature off:

  • The base and the device must be actively connected (Bluetooth light is illuminated)
  • Tap the Bluetooth button once, the light will go out

Once this is done, the base will only connect to the device if you manually do so. You can do this either from your device or by tapping the Bluetooth button again (which will re-activate the auto-connect feature)

Pairing/Syncing a New Microphone

If you ever need to replace your microphone, there are three ways you can synchronize it with your Savi charging base.

If this is the only information you need, you can view the dedicated microphone pairing article here!

Automatic secure subscription

With the system idle, docking a new headset will automatically subscribe it to the base, making it the primary headset. The base subscription LED (labeled 12 in the image above) will blink red/green during subscription mode and remain green when the new subscription is established.

Manual secure subscription

With your system idle and your headset docked, double press the subscription button (12) on the base. The subscription light will flash red/green. When the subscription light on the base turns solid green, the headset and base are subscribed to one another.

Manual over-the-air subscription

  • With your system idle and your headset undocked, double press the subscription button on the base. The subscription light will flash red/green
  • Press the volume up button on the headset (11) for three seconds until the headset LED turns solid white. When the subscription light on the base goes solid green, the headset and base are subscribed to one another

Note: If the base subscription LED goes solid red, after flashing red/green, the subscription attempt has failed and should be repeated.

End subscription

If the base is in subscription mode and you want to stop the base from searching for a headset, press the subscription button again. The subscription light will be solid red for 4 seconds and then go to its previous state.

Disabling over-the-air subscription

The Savi system ships with the over-the-air subscription enabled. In a multi-shift environment, you may want to disable this mode of subscription. You can enable/disable over-the-air subscription with the base subscription button or with the Plantronics Control Panel. While your system is idle, hold the subscription button and the PC phone button down simultaneously until the PC phone button LED flashes. It will flash red for 4 seconds when the over-the-air subscription has been disabled or green for 4 seconds when enabled.
