As you may or may not know, Plantronics specializes in many different types of Headsets. What you probably don’t know is Plantronics also has a Speakerphone. The Calisto SpeakerPhone is not your average phone by any means. We have all talked to someone on a speakerphone, and it is usually an unpleasant experience. Voices sound garbled and distant, and it is hard to make out what the speakers are saying. Plantronics has created a Calisto Speakerphone that will work well in conference calls, staff meetings, or even town hall meetings. I am sure you are intrigued with such an amazing speakerphone by now, so let me tell you the specifics of this wonderful phone and not keep you in suspense any longer.
The Calisto Speakerphone works with a PC, mobile, or land line. Not only does it multitask by being a multi-device speaker phone system, but it has premium sound which delivers amazing audio quality. The full duplex wideband audio and noise cancellation allows you to use it in a variety of scenarios. The phone also comes with a wireless microphone, so you can move around freely while maintaining ideal voice volume.
So you probably think it couldn’t get any better, but it does! Some of the other great features this phone includes are; a clear 2.4 color display, a touch-sensitive pad, easy caller ID viewing, and so much more. It also includes a wireless microphone that has a 45-foot range, or for privacy you can use it with a Bluetooth or corded headset.

Connecting a Bluetooth Device to Your Calisto P800 Series Speakerphone
Question: I like the Calisto P800 series speakerphones for my home office using a single line telephone system, but sometimes I need to keep my conversations private. I read that you can pair Bluetooth devices, like headsets, to them without using any adapters. That’s just what I’m looking for, but how is it done, and can you pair more than one device at a time?
Answer: While the Calisto P800 series speakerphones have excellent sound quality, we appreciate that at times conversations need to be private and confidential, so to answer your question, yes you can pair multiple Bluetooth devices to the speakerphones without external adapters.
