Charge case overview
The USB Bluetooth adapter is stored inside of the charge case. The charge case is placed in deep sleep mode after manufacturing to save power and protect the battery. To wake-up the charge case, plug it into a power source for a minimum of 1 minute. The LEDs flash when charging.
Charge the case for 90 minutes before docking your headset. Once the case is fully charged, it can recharge your headset twice while on the go, providing up to 14 hours of talk time.
Charge your Headset
Your new headset has enough power to pair and make a few calls directly out of the box. It takes approximately 90 minutes to fully charge the headset; the indicator light turns off once charging is complete.
A micro USB cable is supplied to allow you to charge the headset with an AC wall charger (not included) or through a PC's USB port. The PC must be powered on to charge via USB 2.0 or higher.
You can also use the charge case.
Check Battery Level
There are multiple ways to check the battery level of the headset:
- Listen to voice prompts on the headset by pressing the Call button.
- Check the LED indicators on the headset or charging case.
- Use the Plantronics Hub application for desktop or mobile. You can download the software by visiting poly.com/software.

- Ensure headset is paired and connected to your phone.
- Disable HD Voice (Wideband Audio) which uses more power.
- Completely discharge your headset's battery then give it a full charge.
Some phones have less efficient Bluetooth connections and thus will not allow for an optimal talk time of 7 hours. The talk time remaining estimate is partly calculated by your historical use so inconstancies in an estimate may occur based on your particular use patterns.
