Before using the Headset

Unboxing

Examine the package for evidence of physical damage prior to opening. If there is a proof of mishandling, report it to your certified Wildix Partner.

Make sure that all the components are present in the shipping package:

W-AIR Headset:

W-AIR Headset Charger is ordered separately on WMP (A/C adapter is supplied with the Charger). You can order Single Charger (available for purchasing and through HWaaS) for one Headset or MultiCharger (available only through HWaaS, WMP code: R-WAIR-Headset-MultiCharger-1m/1y/5y) for six Headsets.

Using the Charger

W-AIR Headset is charged through the use of a charger. The charger is powered by AC supply from 110-240VAC that supplies 5.5VDC at 600mA.

When charging the battery for the first time, it is necessary to leave the Headset in the charger for at least 10 hours before the battery is fully charged, and the Headset is ready for use.

For correct charging, ensure that the room temperature is between 5°C and 25°C / 41°F and 77°F. Do not place the Headset in direct sunlight when charging. If it is turned off when placed in the charger, the Headset automatically turns on.

Registration of W-AIR Headset

To use your W-AIR Headset, you need to register it to W-AIR Base Station:

Limitation: it is impossible to register a W-AIR Headset if the code of W-AIR network set up in WMS -> Devices -> W-AIR Networks is different from "0000" (default code).

Workaround: you can temporarily change the code to default one ("0000") on the page W-AIR Networks, register and assign the Headset(s), and then change it back to custom one.


Note: in case you have several W-AIR networks (for example, in test environment), the Headset might register to a Base station belonging to another network. In such situation it’s recommended to hold the Headset closer to the Base station you would like to register it to.

  1. Put the Headset in the registration mode by pressing Call, Volume+ and Volume- buttons at the same time for more than 5 seconds. The Headset is in subscription mode when the LED indicator blinks with short blue flashes and voice prompt announces “Registering”

  2. The Headset now connects to the Base Station. When the Headset is subscribed, the voice prompt announces “Headset subscribed”

    Note: if the registration fails, the voice prompt will announce “Headset not subscribed”. Before trying to register the Headset again, please check if it is within range of W-AIR Base station and voice prompt announces “Registering”.


  3. To check if the Headset is registered to the Base station, go to W-AIR Base Station web interface -> Extensions. If the registration is successful, the device appears in the list of available extensions with the state SIP Registered@RPN00

Note: refer to W-AIR Network Admin Guide - Sync over the air or W-AIR Network Admin Guide - Sync over LAN for detailed information.

Update of the Firmware

After successful registration, put the Headset into the charger to update the Firmware.

You can see the progress of the upgrade procedure of W-AIR Headset on the web interface of the W-AIR base.

Note: you can find W-AIR Headset on the base's interface by its IPEI, to check IPEI, detach the microphone from the Headset, as shown on the picture:

Configuration tips to start calls from W-AIR Headset using Automatic Speech Recognition

  1. Make sure the procedure for calling Feature Codes "pbxfeatures (Features codes dialplan)" is present in the "Included procedures" of the Dialplan used for outgoing calls (it is present by default in the "users" procedure), e.g. "pbxinternal". This enables you to place calls from W-AIR Headset via "Dial by name" service, by pressing the "Call" button in case there is no active call.
  2. You can override custom voice prompts used in "Dial by name" service via Custom Dialplan variable DIALBYNAME_PROMPT=custom string, more information: Wildix Business Intelligence - Artificial Intelligence services
  3. If, for some reason, you would like to use the IVR via ASR feature (How to configure IVR via ASR with Directory in Dialplan) from W-AIR Headset, you can modify the procedure used for outgoing calls to route the calls to the "IVR" procedure, e.g.:


Outgoing call via iOS/ Android app

  1. Tap Dialpad icon
  2. Tap W-AIR HS
  3. Type the phone number
  4. Tap the green Handset button
