Headset Overview and Features
The Plantronics Voyager Legend boasts a sleek, ergonomic design for comfortable all-day wear. Its lightweight construction minimizes fatigue, even during extended calls. A prominent feature is the multi-microphone system, incorporating advanced noise-canceling technology to ensure crystal-clear audio, even in noisy environments. This allows for superior voice transmission and reduces background distractions for both the wearer and the person on the other end of the call. The headset also includes intuitive controls conveniently located on the earpiece for easy management of volume, call answering, and voice commands. Integrated voice prompts provide helpful feedback on battery life, connection status, and other essential information, enhancing the user experience.

The Voyager Legend is designed for seamless integration with your daily communication needs.
Pairing Instructions⁚ Initial Setup and Additional Devices
To initially pair your Plantronics Voyager Legend, power on the headset and enter pairing mode (consult your quick start guide for specific instructions, often involving holding down a button until a voice prompt indicates pairing mode). Your device will then search for available Bluetooth devices. Select “Plantronics Voyager Legend” from the list. A passkey or PIN may be required; if so, refer to your headset’s documentation for the default code. Once successfully paired, the headset will connect automatically upon subsequent power-ons. To pair additional devices, place the headset back into pairing mode and repeat the process with the new device. The Voyager Legend supports multiple pairings, but can only be actively connected to one device at a time. Switching between paired devices is typically handled via your phone or other device’s Bluetooth settings. Remember to consult your device’s Bluetooth documentation for specific pairing instructions and troubleshooting tips if needed. Successfully pairing your headset will unlock its full range of features.
Charging and Battery Life
The Plantronics Voyager Legend boasts impressive battery life, offering approximately seven hours of talk time and up to eleven days of standby time on a single charge. Charging is straightforward; simply connect the included micro-USB cable to the headset’s charging port and a USB power source (computer, wall adapter, etc.). A visual indicator (LED light) on the headset usually shows the charging status—often a solid light indicates charging, while a flashing light might signify low battery or a charging completion. Charging time varies depending on the power source, but generally takes a few hours for a full charge. The manual will specify the exact charging time. Remember to always use the provided cable and a compatible power source to prevent damage. To maximize battery life, avoid leaving the headset in pairing mode unnecessarily and turn off the headset when not in use. Regularly checking the battery level indicator will help prevent unexpected power outages during important calls. A low battery warning will typically be announced through a voice prompt from the headset itself, alerting you to the need for a recharge.
Using Voice Commands and Answering Calls
The Plantronics Voyager Legend simplifies call management with intuitive voice commands. To answer an incoming call, simply say “Answer” or put the headset on; the call will automatically connect. To reject a call, say “Ignore” or leave the headset off. Voice commands also allow you to initiate calls hands-free. The specific commands and activation methods will be detailed in your user manual; they often involve pressing and holding a dedicated button on the headset before speaking the command. These commands can vary slightly depending on the firmware version and device settings. The headset typically provides audio prompts guiding you through the voice command process. Furthermore, many voice assistants (like Siri or Google Assistant) can be accessed through the headset. Check your device’s settings for compatibility and activation instructions. Remember that voice recognition accuracy can depend on background noise levels; it’s best to use voice commands in quieter environments for optimal results. Consult the user guide for a comprehensive list of supported voice commands and troubleshooting tips if voice recognition experiences issues.
Managing Volume and Call Controls
The Plantronics Voyager Legend offers convenient controls for managing call volume and other call functions directly on the headset. A dedicated button allows for easy volume adjustments; pressing it once increases the volume, while holding it down will gradually raise the volume to your preferred level. Conversely, pressing and holding the button in the opposite direction lowers the volume. The headset typically provides audio cues to indicate the current volume level. In addition to volume control, the headset usually includes buttons for answering and ending calls. A single press will typically answer an incoming call, while a longer press might activate a voice command function. Ending a call is usually done with a single press of the same button. Many models also feature a mute button, enabling you to temporarily silence your microphone during a call. This mute function can be a lifesaver during unexpected interruptions. The location and functionality of these buttons may vary slightly depending on the specific Voyager Legend model and its firmware version; always refer to your user manual for precise instructions. Understanding these controls will improve your call experience and enhance overall usability.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If your Plantronics Voyager Legend headset isn’t working as expected, several troubleshooting steps can help resolve common problems. First, ensure the headset is adequately charged. Low battery power often causes connectivity issues and poor audio quality. Check the LED indicator lights for battery status. Next, verify the Bluetooth connection. Go to your phone’s Bluetooth settings and confirm that the headset is paired and connected. If not, initiate the pairing process again, following the instructions in your manual. Poor audio quality can stem from various factors. Check for obstructions between the headset and your phone, as distance and physical barriers affect signal strength. Ensure the headset’s microphone is not obstructed or covered, impacting call clarity. If the problem persists, try restarting both your phone and the headset, often a simple reset resolves temporary glitches. If you’re experiencing pairing problems, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both devices, and try deleting the headset from your phone’s paired devices list before re-pairing. If the issue continues after these steps, consult the online troubleshooting resources or contact Plantronics support for further assistance; they may have more advanced troubleshooting guides or firmware updates available.
Advanced Features and Settings
The Plantronics Voyager Legend offers several advanced features beyond basic call management. Explore the customizable settings accessible through the Plantronics Hub software (downloadable from their website). This software allows for firmware updates, ensuring your headset operates with the latest enhancements and bug fixes. Within the Hub, you can personalize settings such as audio equalization (EQ), adjusting the balance between bass, mids, and treble to best suit your preferences. This fine-tuning enhances your listening experience, providing clearer calls and more enjoyable audio during music playback. Another valuable feature is the multipoint pairing capability; allowing connection to two devices simultaneously. This seamless switching between your phone and computer is ideal for multitasking professionals. The Voyager Legend also often includes noise cancellation technology, adjustable through the Hub. Fine-tuning this setting ensures that background noise is minimized, improving call clarity, even in noisy environments. The Hub provides detailed tutorials and FAQs to guide you through these advanced features. Remember to consult the Plantronics support website or the user manual for specific instructions on accessing and adjusting these advanced settings. Proper utilization of these features maximizes the potential of your Plantronics Voyager Legend headset.
Technical Specifications and Compliance
The Plantronics Voyager Legend boasts impressive technical specifications. Its talk time typically ranges around 7 hours on a single charge, offering extended usage throughout the workday. Standby time is significantly longer, often exceeding 11 days, ensuring your headset remains ready when needed. The headset’s weight is generally light and comfortable for extended wear, usually around 18 grams. Connectivity relies on Bluetooth 3.0 (or later versions depending on the specific model), offering a reliable wireless connection within a range of approximately 10 meters (33 feet).
