This is the probably our most frequently asked question in our call center: How do I get rid of the “echo” with my Plantronics wireless headset (i.e. CS540, CS530, CS510, CS520, CS545, W710, W720. W730, W740)?

If your callers hear an echo: Try a different configuration on the wireless headset base (pic below): Try any of setting from A-G, until the echo goes away and the optimal sound is heard.
Typically an echo is caused when the volume is set too high, the excess volume causes a feedback (or echo).
Things to check:
- Check your desk phone’s volume setting. Make sure it’s set to to medium. Not “high”.
- If the listening volume is too low, adjust the setting on the wireless base to increase the volume (pic below)
- If the sound level is still low, adjust the setting on the wireless headset itself to increase the volume.
- If the echo problem continues to persist, lower the speaking volume on the base. For most telephones, the correct setting is “3” (pic below)
- If your speaking volume is too low for your caller, you can also adjust the position of the headset to ensure the microphone is two finger’s width from your mouth.
