I got one in January and like it for the limited purpose I use it for ... pretty much just listening to VO read NFB-Newsline when I'm hanging around with my family.
Brett C. was kind enough to send me an introductory guide to it's form and function, which I've copied below, in case you're interested. I think I mistakenly referred to it as the Legacy" instead of the Legend. Keith -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Brett C. Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 2:43 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Plantronics Voyager Legacy headset How-to***** I'll describe as though you just picked it up for the first time. The earpiece can swivel, so that you can use it in the ear of your choosing. On the piece resting behind the ear, there are two switches. The switch closest to the bottom is power. The power is on when the button is pushed up. If you have the speaker in your ear, you will automatically hear the talk time remaining announced. The button above the power is the volume. Simply bump it up to increase volume, and down to decrease volume. The next button I'll describe is located near the swivel part of the boom mic. It's a flat feeling button, though it is raised. I believe this is called the talk button. Tap this button and you'll hear a voice prompt tell you to say a command. Say the words "what can I say?" and the voice will verbalize a list of commands. This same button is used to mute a call. While on a call, hold the button for close to two seconds, a tone will sound and the call is muted on your end. Repeat same step to discontinue the mute feature. Another function of this same button is to stop and resume music playing. While playing a book or music, hold the button for close to two seconds, a tone will sound, and the music will stop. Repeat to resume play. The last button is located on the end of the stem of the boom mic, closest to the earpiece. When a call comes in, tap it to answer. Alternatively, you can just say "answer ". Tap the same button to end a call. To redial the last number called, double tap the button. I've found that if you have not made a called since you powered it on, it will not remember the last called prior to turning it off. Voice dialing and Siri can be activated with this same button. Hold the button for close to two seconds, you will hear a tone, release the button and then you will hear the familiar Siri tone. If the button is held for too long, the unit will go into pairing mode. If pairing mode is activated, the only way I've determined to stop its to turn the unit off and on again. There other features I find useful without the use of any buttons. If you're on a call using the earpiece, you can take the piece off of your ear, and the call is automatically made available on the handset. If your phone rings and you don't have the earpiece on, you can put the earpiece in place, and the call will automatically be answered. To charge the unit, there is a magnetic piece at the end of the charging cable, it easily connects to the unit at the base below the power button. I think this covers it for the most part. I hope this is helpful in some way.
