The core of the system is, of course, the Voyager Legend UC headset itself – a single-ear Bluetooth headset featuring a noise-canceling microphone and ergonomic design for all-day comfort.
Alongside the headset, you’ll receive the BT300 Bluetooth USB adapter. This adapter is crucial for connecting your Voyager Legend to computers that don’t have native Bluetooth capabilities, or for a more stable wireless connection. A micro-USB charging cable is included for powering up your headset, and a convenient charging case is also provided for portable charging and safe storage.
Furthermore, the package contains important documentation, including a quick start guide to help with initial setup and a more detailed user manual outlining all features and functionalities. Finally, you’ll find ear tips in various sizes to ensure a secure and comfortable fit tailored to your ear canal.
Charging the Headset & Understanding LED Indicators
To charge your Plantronics Voyager Legend UC headset, connect the provided micro-USB cable to the headset’s charging port and a powered USB source. A full charge typically takes approximately 2.3 hours, providing up to 7 hours of talk time and 9 days of standby time. The headset can be charged both with the charging case closed or open, offering flexibility.
Understanding the LED indicators is crucial for monitoring the headset’s status. A solid red light indicates the headset is charging. Once fully charged, the light will turn solid green. During pairing mode, the LED will flash alternating red and blue. A flashing blue light signifies the headset is connected to a paired device.
A steady blue light briefly appears when the headset is powered on. Low battery is indicated by a flashing red light accompanied by a voice prompt. Pay attention to these indicators to ensure your headset is always ready for use and to proactively manage its power levels.
Pairing the Voyager Legend with a Mobile Device (Bluetooth)
To pair your Plantronics Voyager Legend UC with a mobile device via Bluetooth, ensure the headset is powered off. Press and hold the call control button for approximately 7 seconds until the LED flashes alternating red and blue, indicating pairing mode.
Next, on your mobile device (smartphone or tablet), navigate to the Bluetooth settings menu and enable Bluetooth. The Voyager Legend UC should appear in the list of available devices. Select it to initiate the pairing process. You may be prompted to enter a pairing code; if so, enter “0000” (four zeros).
Once successfully paired, the headset LED will briefly flash blue, and your mobile device will confirm the connection. The Voyager Legend UC will remember up to eight paired devices, allowing for seamless switching between them. To connect to a previously paired device, simply power on the headset – it will automatically attempt to reconnect.
Pairing with a Computer Using the BT300 Bluetooth Adapter
To connect your Plantronics Voyager Legend UC to a computer using the included BT300 Bluetooth adapter, first, plug the adapter into an available USB port on your computer. The adapter’s LED will flash, indicating it’s in pairing mode. If it doesn’t automatically enter pairing mode, press the button on the BT300 adapter for 2 seconds.
Next, put your Voyager Legend UC into pairing mode by holding the call control button for approximately 7 seconds until the headset’s LED flashes alternating red and blue. Your computer should detect the BT300 adapter and then the Voyager Legend UC.
Follow the on-screen prompts on your computer to complete the pairing process. You may be asked to select the Voyager Legend UC from a list of available devices. Once paired, the BT300 adapter’s LED will turn solid blue, and the headset LED will briefly flash blue, confirming the connection. The headset will automatically reconnect to the BT300 adapter when powered on, provided the adapter remains plugged into the computer.
Wearing the Headset: Ensuring a Comfortable and Secure Fit
Achieving a comfortable and secure fit with your Plantronics Voyager Legend UC is crucial for optimal performance and all-day wearability. Begin by gently placing the earpiece into your ear, rotating it slightly until it rests comfortably within the concha (the inner bowl of your ear). The ergonomic design is intended to provide a natural and stable fit.
Experiment with the included ear tips to find the size that best suits your ear canal. A proper seal enhances audio quality and noise cancellation. The headset comes with multiple ear tip sizes to accommodate various ear shapes and sizes. Ensure the microphone boom is positioned close to your mouth, but not touching it, for clear voice transmission.
The Voyager Legend UC features an adjustable headband. Loosen or tighten the headband to achieve a snug, yet comfortable fit. The headset should feel secure during movement without causing pressure or discomfort. Proper positioning ensures optimal sound quality and call clarity.
Basic Call Controls: Answer, End, and Mute
The Plantronics Voyager Legend UC offers intuitive call controls for seamless communication. To answer an incoming call, simply press the Call Control button located on the earpiece. A single press will accept the call, connecting you to your conversation. To end a call, press the same Call Control button again. This will disconnect the call and return you to standby mode.
The mute function is easily accessible via the dedicated Mute button, also located on the earpiece; Pressing this button will instantly mute your microphone, preventing your voice from being transmitted to the other party. A voice prompt will confirm that the mute function is activated. Press the Mute button again to unmute your microphone.
These basic controls allow for quick and efficient call management. Familiarizing yourself with their location and function will enhance your overall user experience with the Voyager Legend UC. Remember to listen for the audio prompts confirming your actions.
Volume Adjustment & Voice Command Features
Adjusting the volume on your Plantronics Voyager Legend UC is straightforward. Utilize the volume buttons, conveniently positioned on the earpiece, to increase or decrease the audio level to your preference. Short presses will incrementally adjust the volume, allowing for precise control. The headset will provide an audio cue when reaching maximum or minimum volume levels.
Beyond basic volume control, the Voyager Legend UC boasts powerful voice command features. Activate voice commands by pressing and holding the Voice Command button. Once activated, you can issue commands such as redialing the last number, checking battery level, or initiating call features.
The headset supports a range of voice commands, streamlining your communication experience. Refer to the detailed list of available commands for a comprehensive understanding of its capabilities. Voice commands offer a hands-free method for managing calls and accessing headset functions, enhancing convenience and productivity.
Understanding Voice Commands: A Detailed List
The Plantronics Voyager Legend UC responds to a variety of voice commands, enhancing hands-free control. To initiate, press and hold the Voice Command button, then clearly state your request. Common commands include “Answer” to accept an incoming call, and “Ignore” to decline it. For redialing, simply say “Redial”.
Need to know your headset’s battery status? Ask “Battery Level”. To adjust volume, use commands like “Volume Up” or “Volume Down”. The headset also recognizes “Call [Contact Name]” for direct dialing from your phonebook (requires phonebook synchronization).
Further commands include “Check Last Call” to review recent calls, and specific commands related to paired applications, if supported. Note that command recognition accuracy depends on ambient noise and clear pronunciation. A full list is available in the comprehensive user manual, detailing all supported voice commands for optimal usage and troubleshooting.
Auto Answer Feature: Configuration and Usage
The Plantronics Voyager Legend UC offers a convenient Auto Answer feature, automatically answering incoming calls when you place the headset on your ear. This feature is disabled by default and requires activation through the Plantronics Hub mobile app or software on your computer.
To enable Auto Answer, open the Plantronics Hub and navigate to the headset settings. Locate the “Auto Answer” option and toggle it to the “On” position. You may also be able to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor, determining how securely the headset needs to be worn to trigger the auto-answer function.
Once enabled, incoming calls will be automatically answered when the headset’s sensor detects it’s being worn. Be mindful of this feature in environments where you may not want to automatically answer calls. To disable, simply repeat the process within the Plantronics Hub, toggling the Auto Answer option back to “Off”.
Troubleshooting Common Issues: Connectivity & Audio
Connectivity Problems: If your Voyager Legend isn’t pairing, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the headset is in pairing mode (check the LED indicator). Try removing previous pairings from your device and re-initiating the process. The BT300 adapter should be securely connected to your computer. Restarting both the headset and the connecting device often resolves issues.
Audio Quality Issues: For muffled or distorted audio, check the headset volume and ensure it’s not muted. Clean the microphone port, as obstructions can affect clarity. If using the BT300, verify it’s recognized by your computer and the correct audio output is selected. Interference from other wireless devices can also cause problems; try moving away from potential sources.
No Audio: Confirm the headset is selected as the default audio device on your computer or mobile device. Ensure the volume is turned up on both the headset and the connected device. A factory reset (see instructions elsewhere in this manual) can sometimes resolve persistent audio issues.
Resetting the Voyager Legend to Factory Defaults
Why Reset? Resetting your Plantronics Voyager Legend to factory defaults clears all saved pairings, voice command customizations, and settings, returning the headset to its original state. This is useful for resolving persistent issues, preparing the headset for a new user, or troubleshooting connectivity problems that haven’t responded to other solutions.
Reset Procedure: To perform a factory reset, first ensure the headset is powered on. Press and hold the Call button and the Volume Down button simultaneously for approximately 15 seconds. The LED indicator will cycle through different colors, ultimately settling on a flashing blue light, confirming the reset process has begun.
Post-Reset: Once the reset is complete, the headset will automatically enter pairing mode. You will need to re-pair it with your mobile devices and the BT300 adapter. Remember that all personalized settings will be lost, and you’ll need to reconfigure them as desired. This process ensures a clean slate for optimal performance.
Maintaining Your Headset: Cleaning and Storage
Regular Cleaning: To ensure optimal performance and hygiene, regularly clean your Plantronics Voyager Legend headset. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe down the ear tip and the exterior surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the headset’s components.
Ear Tip Care: The ear tip can accumulate earwax and debris. Detach the ear tip (if possible, consult the full user manual for specific instructions) and gently clean it with mild soap and water. Ensure the ear tip is completely dry before reattaching it to the headset. Replacing ear tips periodically is recommended for optimal comfort and hygiene.
Proper Storage: When not in use, store your Voyager Legend in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
