User questions & answers

Question:	Is this identical to the Polycom Voxbox (other than color) or are there some other feature differences
Answer:	My Polycom Voxbox disconnects from zoom audio calls all the time, and from what I can tell, no firmware update exists because this is no longer supported by polycom (I tried calling them). I'm not sure if the Calisto uses a new firmware or not.... but I'm looking to replace. It was a great piece of hardware up until this problem became predictability annoying.
Question:	Can you connect it to your computer (via usb) and bluetooth (phone) at the same time? and while it's connected to both, can you switch calls
Answer:	Hi! Yes, this model works with a computer via USB and via Bluetooth when paired to a cell phone; However, please note you should be able to have them both connected thorugh each connection, but most likely you won't be able to switch between calls. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team at: 800-985-9815.
Question:	There’s another model being sold for $240 that shows a little dongle. is the bluetooth dongle absolutely necessary or can i just buy this one
Answer:	Hi there! Thank you for reaching out to us, the Calisto 7200 can connect to your computer with the USB cable, if the other model with the Bluetooth dongle is a Calisto, it will connect to your computer with the dongle. Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team at 800-985-9815 if you require assistance or have further questions.
Question:	Is it any louder than the speaker phone on an iphone? I have another one which is not
Answer:	Hello! On the Calisto 7200 the USB receive is of up to 14 KHz audio bandwidth and has a USB transmit of up to 11 KHz audio bandwidth. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team at: 800-985-9815.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the best (most compatible) standard telephone models for this headset, if I want to plug into a wall jack
Answer:	It will work with any wired telephone that has a separate handset and base. If you get the lifter, it will let you remotely answer the phone by picking up the handset. I use mine with an AT&T Merlin phone, but that's old and pretty uncommon for home use. A regular desk phone that has the handset to either the left or right side of the base will be fine. If you don't already have something, a visit to Staples / Office Depot should let you find something relatively inexpensive on the shelf.
Question:	Can the headset answer multiple phone lines at one time
Answer:	I'm not sure. I only use one phone at a time. I have it hooked up to my cell and my work phone. The work phone does have 4 lines. It is a great headset. I use it all day and the battery never goes out. It also has great sound.
Question:	Has anybody used the Jabra PRO 9470 and compared to this Plantronics unit
Answer:	Hi Kurt, we test and sell every headset product you can think of. I would recommend the Savi 740 over the Jabra 9470. The Jabra 9470 is good, the Plantronics is just better. Sound quality is going to be about the same, Plantronics is easier to use, more lightweight, all parts are easily replaceable and when an issue comes up with a Plantronics headset its typically much easier to troubleshoot.
Question:	Can I use this with Microsoft Lync
Answer:	This headset cannot integrate with Lync, however, there is a Microsoft version of this headset which is the Savi 740M. The "M" versions will work with Lync.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this head set work with my phone? avaya 1416d02a
Answer:	From what i'm looking at, you should have no problem connecting it to you're phone. I offer 14 day full moneyback if you should encounter any incompatibility.
Question:	Will this work with a cordless phone system
Answer:	Hi DiannaS I couldnt find anything in the manual about this working with a cordless phone. It only show's wired phone systems, sorry i couldn't be of more help.
Question:	Where can we find the replacement batteries for this unit
Answer:	Hot swappable battery for unlimited talk-time (Additional battery sold separately) Where?
Question:	DO you HAVE to buy the handset lifter? How does it work without the lifter
Answer:	You don't need a handset lifter if your phone has a "headset" button (I am using Cortelco-2700 phone which does have such a button). However, as mentioned by other respondents, you still have to be near the phone to be able to press this button. If you want to buy another degree of freedom, you can buy an Electronic Hook Switch Cable (EHS Cable) which, however will cost you another $80 or so. I was not able to find the cable certified for Cortelco phones, though. I hope this will help.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the differences between the Viyager 5200 and the 5200 Uc
Answer:	The UC model uses Bluetooth 5.0 instead of 4.1. This could make a difference in connection reliability and/or battery life. It is unclear what the UC model ships with accessory wise, but the technical difference seems to be in the bluetooth chipset used.
Question:	Would this be a good device to use in office environment with a Panasonic link-to-cell Bluetooth phone? if not, could someone advise what would be
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Can you connect to and switch between multiple devices
Answer:	It switches beautifully between my PC and my iPhone. Immediately connects to the device I am calling from or receiving a call on. Connects up to iPhone MUCH faster than even my AirPods do. I think it maintains a simultaneous connection with both devices.
Question:	how many charging ports does it have
Answer:	It has one charging port at the base of the unit. It uses the small USB and I have actually used it while plugged. The company I work for requires that while driving a company vehicles, the driver must be hands free or one touch function. You get about 6 hours on a full charge and unless you are CONSTANTLY on the phone or listening to music or youtubing, which you should NOT be doing, this will allow the used to work 12 to 14 hours without a new charge. The unit can be placed in the case to charge also and it takes almost no time to recharge.
Question:	This might sound like a dumb question.. but does ringer come through the headset or the charging base
Answer:	Not a dumb question, totally understand! :) The ringer comes from the phone unit that connects to the headset ... not the charging base. This was a huge benefit to me.
Question:	Can I attach this set to my non-digital plain old analog telephone line
Answer:	analog phone if i understand you clearly are not equipped for this phone. and if you are asking about the phone jack on the wall so it would be a phone cord to the base of this phone and to the wall jack then I don't see why that would not work. The base of this phone need to be plugged on to an electric outlet to charge once of course. I hope I answer your question. I tell you this phone is awsome I hope what you're trying to do work.
Question:	Will the phone work while docked in the charger. The one I have now disconnects the call when placed in the charger and I need one that will not do this
Answer:	I have used mine while in the charger so would say yes it works. It was already in the charger when the phone rang so don't know if putting it in the charger while on the phone will disconnect it
Question:	Is this phone compatible with other house phones
Answer:	Yes, I like the phone so much I bought 3 of them and have two other systems as well. I have had no problems with any of them.
