Stay connected, wherever you work, with the Plantronics Calisto Pro Series hands-free phone system. Its integrated multi-function Bluetooth headset offers professional sound for your home office as you remotely answer landline, VoIP and even mobile calls. Combined with a compact handset offering a built-in speakerphone, interference-free DECT™ 6.0 technology, and ability to download Outlook® contact numbers, you’ve got powerful communication options like never before.
Clad in silver and gray, the handset has a very business-like appearance. It’s also on the chunky side, measuring about 4.24 inches long by 2.23 inches wide by 1 inch thick, though it does have curved edges that make it easier to hold. Like most cordless handsets, it also comes with monochrome display for caller ID, a recent calls list, date and time information, keypad tones, and more. You can download Outlook contacts into a 200-entry phone book (with about three numbers in each entry), or choose to enter those names manually.
Underneath the display is a navigation array with two soft keys, a four-way toggle, a middle OK key, and the Talk/Flash and End keys. All keys, as well as the ones on the number keypad, are tactile and easy to press. There are also a dedicated handset and speakerphone key underneath the number keypad for when you want to toggle between handset and speakerphone mode. A volume rocker and headset jack sit on the right spine. On the back of the handset is a clip which you can then attach to your belt. It’s positioned so that you can flip the handset up easily for viewing caller ID or dialing numbers without having to remove the handset from your waist.
