How to Install Poly EncorePro 520 with Quick Disconnect Binaural Headset TAA

Setting up the EncorePro 520 is straightforward and rapid, so your team can start taking calls with minimal downtime. Follow these steps to get up and running quickly in a hybrid workspace or contact-center environment:

1. Unpack and inspect: Remove the headset from the box and verify that all components are present, including the Quick Disconnect cable and ear cushions. Examine for any signs of damage in transit and ensure the microphone boom is unobstructed.
2. Connect to your device: Plug the USB-A or USB-C end of the headset into the computer, dock, or USB hub that your workforce uses for Teams or other UC platforms. If you have a desk phone or a separate UC device, use the Quick Disconnect to attach the headset to the appropriate module or base unit.
3. Configure audio settings: On Windows or macOS, navigate to the sound settings and select the EncorePro 520 as the default microphone and speaker device. If you are using Microsoft Teams or another softphone, open the app’s settings and set the EncorePro 520 as both the microphone and speaker, then test a live call to confirm clarity.
4. Adjust for comfort and fit: Place the headset over your ears and adjust the headband to a snug, comfortable fit. Position the microphone boom so that it sits near your mouth without obstructing your lips, then test for comfort during typical call durations.
5. Enable Quick Disconnect workflow: If your work setup requires frequent switching, test the Quick Disconnect feature by detaching and reattaching to a supported device. Make sure the other device recognizes the headset when reconnected, and verify that call audio routes correctly after reconnection.
6. Team-specific optimization: For Teams users, ensure the app is permitted to access the microphone and that noise suppression settings are enabled to maximize voice clarity in a busy office or home office environment. If you have a supervisor or administrator, confirm policy provisioning for headsets across the organization to maintain consistent audio performance.
