Plantronics Hub software (optional) for Windows enhances your
speakerphone's capabilities, and, enhances your user experience when used
with your PC.
For example, Plantronics Hub software provides:
• Integrated call control for popular softphones and Unified Communications (UC) clients
• Enhanced UC presence capabilities - more granular availability status means fewer interruptions
• Useful Preferences settings
• Automated software and firmware updates
Hub software loads when your PC is booted up and runs discretely in the background, requiring
no user intervention except via the following:
•Plantronics Control Panel — a one stop utility for all device, application, preferences and
configuration options, and product information
•Plantronics Update Manager — provides notification and facilitates installation for your
speakerphone's firmware and Hub software updates
To launch any of these utilities, go to: Start > Programs > Plantronics
• Displays active Plantronics devices supported by Plantronics Hub software.
• Audio Settings — Provides a convenience shortcut to Windows audio configuration options.
• Device Settings — No Device settings are available for Calisto 610 in Plantronics Control Panel.
• Displays all applications enabled by Plantronics Hub software and supported for Calisto 610.
• All supported applications which are currently running are in designated with a "check mark".
• Allows you to configure the behavior of supported media players when a softphone call is
received, and when the call has ended.

How do I know Calisto 610 is turned
on? Pressing the volume +/- buttons while the unit is ON emits a
volume adjustment tone.
Is there a visual indicator on the
Calisto 610 that shows volume
level?
No. There is no visual indication of volume level or volume
adjustments on the Calisto 610.
NOTE The Calisto 610 has a mid-range default volume setting. It
provides audible indications as you adjust the volume and when you
have reached the maximum or minimum volume level.
What size room and how many
participants does Calisto 610
support for group conference calls?
There are 2 variables to consider for this answer, and both involve
the perceived audio by 8 listeners on the other (far) end of a
Calisto 610 call:
1The acoustic properties of the room: Not all rooms are created
equal, and room acoustics can vary significantly.
2The subjective opinion (or hearing abilities) of the far-end listener(s)
which can also vary significantly
With these variables considered, in general Calisto 610 can be
used in up to a 12x12 foot room with up to 8 participants.
