Overview

The Blackwire 3300 Series is a line of corded USB headsets designed for communication, offering a 3.5 mm connection for versatile use. This user guide provides comprehensive instructions for setting up, using, and maintaining the headset, ensuring an optimal user experience.

Function Description

The Blackwire 3300 Series headsets are primarily designed for clear audio communication, whether for calls, conferences, or listening to media. They feature an inline control unit that allows users to manage calls and audio settings directly from the headset cable. The headset connects to devices via a USB-A or USB-C connector for digital audio and control, or a 3.5 mm connector for analog audio, particularly useful for mobile devices or computers without USB ports. The 3.5 mm connection, however, does not support headset call control functionality.

The inline control unit is equipped with several buttons and LED indicators that provide visual feedback on the headset's status. For standard use, the call button manages incoming and ongoing calls. A flashing green LED indicates an incoming call, a solid green LED means a call is active, and a slow flashing green LED signifies a call on hold. Volume up and down buttons allow users to adjust the listening volume, while a mute button, indicated by a solid red LED when active, mutes the microphone.

For users with Microsoft Teams, the headset offers enhanced functionality and specific LED indicators. When connected and integrated with Microsoft Teams, a solid purple LED indicates that the headset is connected and Teams is active. Three flashes of purple signify a connection failure with Microsoft Teams. A flashing blue LED indicates an incoming Teams call, while a solid blue LED means a Teams call is active. A slow flash blue LED indicates a Teams call on hold, and a pulsing purple LED signals a Microsoft Teams notification. The volume and mute controls function similarly, with a solid red LED for mute. These Teams-specific features require the Microsoft Teams variant of the headset and the Teams application to be running.

Usage Features

Setup and Power:

To power on the headset, simply connect it to your computer or mobile device using the appropriate USB-A/USB-C or 3.5 mm connector. The 3.5 mm connection is available only on Blackwire 3315/3325 models and does not support call control functionality.

Software Integration:

For advanced settings and options, users can customize their device behavior through the Poly Lens Desktop App. This software allows for fine-tuning of headset features and is crucial for enabling device call control (answer/end and mute) functionality with certain softphones. The Poly Lens Desktop App can be downloaded from poly.com/lens. Device settings are also accessible via the Plantronics Hub Desktop App.

Fit and Comfort:

The headset is designed for comfort and can be adjusted to fit various head sizes. To adjust the headband, lengthen or shorten the band until it sits comfortably, with the ear cushions centered over your ears. The boom microphone can be worn on either the left or right side of the head. To position the boom correctly, rotate it to align with your mouth. It is important to rotate the boom up and over 180 degrees to avoid damage. For optimal microphone performance, gently bend the boom in or out so that it is approximately two finger widths from the corner of your mouth.

Call Management:

Headset call control is a software-dependent feature that relies on a compatible softphone. If the Poly Lens Desktop App is not installed or if the softphone is not compatible, users should press the headset call button first and then manage the call (make/take/end) using the softphone application.

  • Answering or Ending a Call: Tap the Call button or use your softphone.
  • Making a Call: Dial using your softphone application.
  • Redialing: When not on an active call, double-tap the call button to redial the last call.
  • Holding a Call: To put a call on hold, press and hold the Call button until a beep or voice prompt is heard.

Volume Control:

  • Listening Volume: Press the Volume up (+) or Volume down (-) button on the inline controller.
  • Microphone Volume (Softphone): To adjust the headset microphone volume, place a test softphone call and then adjust both the softphone volume and the PC sound volume accordingly.

Mute Function:

During a call, briefly press the mute button on the inline controller to mute the microphone. Press the button again to unmute.

Maintenance Features

Firmware and Software Updates:

Keeping the headset's firmware and software up-to-date is crucial for improving performance and accessing new features. Users can update their Poly device using the Poly Lens Desktop App, available at poly.com/lens.

  • During an update, it is important to:
    • Avoid using the Poly device until the update is complete.
    • Refrain from starting a second update from another device.
    • Not stream media.
    • Not answer or place a call.

Troubleshooting:

The user guide provides a comprehensive troubleshooting section to address common issues:

  • High-pitched noise: Ensure the 3.5 mm connector is fully connected to the headset controller.
  • Cannot hear caller: Check listening volume on the headset and computer, ensure the headset is set as the default audio device in sound settings, and verify the 3.5 mm connector is fully connected.
  • Callers cannot hear me: Check if the headset is muted, ensure the microphone boom is correctly aligned with your mouth, verify the headset is set as the default Voice device in sound settings, and confirm the 3.5 mm connector is fully connected.
  • Distorted sound or echo: Lower the listening volume on the softphone, adjust headset volume, and ensure the 3.5 mm connector is fully connected.
  • Headset call control/mute buttons not working with softphone: Verify softphone compatibility (www.plantronics.com/softphonecompatibility), ensure Poly Lens Desktop App is installed for call control functionality, and note that mobile devices may not support call control.
  • Other headset not working after using Poly headset: The Poly headset might have set itself as the default audio device in Windows; adjust audio settings in the sound control panel/preferences.
  • Phone not finding headset during call/music: Ensure audio is routing to the desired headset by checking settings and confirming it is defaulted.
