I am a newbie and could not locate the exact condition that has caused concern, although there seem to be many similar issues.  I am submitting this question because the Plantronics live helpis currently closed for the day and I understand that live support is notavailable on Saturdays or Sundays.

 

A recently ordered Voyager Pro headset was delivered today(9 Oct 2009 ordered from Amazon.com). After charging the headset for 1.5 hours, I put the unit into service,paired it with my Treo Pro 850 (handheld unit) and attempted to use the phoneapplication and another app that streams music and other sounds.  The Voyager Pro headset consistently dropsthe sound regardless of the application. It maintains the connection for no more than 5 seconds and thenautomatically transfers the sound back to the handheld unit.  This is particularly frustrating.  Is there a way to correct the problem?

 

I have not yet attempted to use the Treo's voice dialingfeature with the Voyager Pro, nor have I used the headset with the Treo'sinternal GPS application. All of the Treo's applications are operating normallywithout the headset, however I wish to use the headset with each of the soundtransmitting features of the handset unit.

 

I also noticed that the instruction manual indicates thatthe headset will register a red LED while it is charging.  My unit was red for only a few seconds andthen flashed alternately between red and blue. It is difficult to determine visually whether the unit is on or off. Icurrently have the headset plugged into the wall charger and noticed that itdoes not register whether it is on or off no matter how often I depress thepower button.  When attempting to poweron now, the following sequence is noted: 

1. Depress power on/off button for 2 seconds;

2. Blue LED appears, stays on for 1 second and goes off.

3. Depress power on/off button for 2 seconds;

4. Red LED appears, stays on for 1 second and goes off.

 

This behavior was not evident earlier when initiallyattempting to utilize the headset.

 

Before purchasing this unit, I became aware that a competingheadset, the Blue Ant, can communicate vocally with the user to indicate itson/off status, remaining charge available, readiness to respond to voicecommands among other things. I chose to purchase the Voyager Pro because of itspurported superior noise canceling capability, although it would be desirableto have the features presented in the competing unit.

 

Is there a way to determine if I received a defectiveheadset unit?  If it does prove to bemalfunctioning, what steps need be addressed to rapidly obtain a replacement?

 

Thanks, any help will be appreciated.

Kudos!

It does not sound like you have a defective headset.

 

Do not try to turn the headset on or off while connected to the charger, the flashing status of the LED will be unclear.

 

Without the charger connected, if you press the buttons as your describe above, the headset will be in the Power On state. When you use the headset for the 1st time, the LED will flash red/blue to indicate it is in Pairing Mode, now you need to use the UI on the phone to search for and find the headset ...

 

Let us know if this works for you now.

Thanks for your response.  I was able to successfully pair the headset with the handset soon after writing the initial comments.  The phone application now appears to function as expected while using the Voyager Pro headset although the other issues continue to exist.  I would still like to learn how to get the Voyager Pro to work with the Treo Pro's other sound transmitting applications without transferring the sound back to the handset.

It is the Treo phone that decides if audio will be routed to the headset, so it will depend on the applications running on the phone being 'headset aware'.

The voyager pro supports Bluetooth profiles HSF, and HF which are used only for calls. This headset does not support A2DP BT profile (used for streaming music). If the headset keep disconnecting from the phone link please try the following. First reboot your phone by turning the phone off and disconnecting the phone’s battery for at least 20 seconds, then turn the phone on and try testing the headset again. If this does not resolve the issue delete the headset from your phone's list of paired devices then re-pair the headset with the phone. To activate the phone voice command from the headset press the call control button for two seconds. The LED status on the headset that you have described is not normal. The headset should only glow red while charging and turns off when a full charge. If the headset continues to flash red and blue then this is not a normal behavior of the headset LED and would need to be replaced.  Normally, if it is a new headset, it would get returned to the Distributor where it was purchased for another one.  If it is out of the Distributor's warranty, Plantronics can replace it for you.  Package your headset up, include your return address, phone number and a copy of the receipt and send to:
