Setup

1. Unpacking

Carefully remove all contents from the packaging. The spare headset kit typically includes:

Plantronics Savi 8240/8245 DECT Spare Headset
Ear tips and ear loops (various sizes)
Charging cradle or cable (if included with spare kit, otherwise uses base)

2. Charging the Headset

Before first use, fully charge the headset. Place the headset into the charging cradle of your existing Plantronics Savi 8200 series DECT base station. The charging indicator light on the headset or base will typically show a solid light when fully charged.

Charging Time: Approximately 2-3 hours for a full charge.
Battery Life: Refer to your base station's manual for expected talk time and standby time.

3. Pairing with the Base Station

Your spare headset must be paired with your Plantronics Savi 8200 series DECT base station. Follow these steps:

Ensure your base station is powered on and connected to your devices (desk phone, computer, mobile).
Place the spare headset into the charging cradle of the base station.
On the base station, press and hold the subscription button (often indicated by a pairing icon or "Pair") for approximately 4 seconds until the subscription indicator light on the base begins to flash.
The headset and base will attempt to pair. Once successfully paired, the subscription indicator light on the base will turn solid, and you may hear a tone in the headset.
If pairing fails, repeat the steps. Consult your base station's user guide for specific pairing instructions if needed.
