Charge case overview
The USB Bluetooth adapter is stored inside the charging case.
IMPORTANT The charging case is placed in deep sleep mode after manufacturing to save power and protect the battery. To wake up the charging case, plug it into a power source for a minimum of 1 minute. The LEDs flash when charging.
Charging case to PC or USB wall charger
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 before
needing a connection to a charging cable, 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.
Or you can use the charging case.
NOTE Always charge at near room temperatures; never charge the battery at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F).

- Reset your sensors (following the above instructions) as they may need recalibrating.
- Disable your sensors as they may be incompatible with your specific ear shape.
- Disable HD Voice (Wideband Audio) via the Plantronics Hub application as this setting may be incompatible with your phone.

My headset will not report 7 hours of talk time after it is fully charged.
- Ensure the 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.
