It can be paired with devices that support Bluetooth technology, which is a standard feature in most modern devices. This means you can use your Plantronics Voyager with your iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, iPad, Android tablet, and even your laptop or desktop computer.
To check if your device is compatible with the Plantronics Voyager, simply look for the Bluetooth symbol on your device or check your device’s settings to see if Bluetooth is enabled. If your device has Bluetooth capabilities, you should be able to pair it with your Plantronics Voyager. If you’re still unsure, you can refer to the user manual or manufacturer’s website for more information on compatible devices.
How do I put my Plantronics Voyager in pairing mode?
To put your Plantronics Voyager in pairing mode, simply flip the boom up towards your mouth and hold it there for about 2-3 seconds. You’ll hear a voice prompt saying “pairing” and the indicator light on the headphones will start flashing red and blue. This indicates that your headphones are now in pairing mode and are ready to connect with your device.
Alternatively, you can also put your Plantronics Voyager in pairing mode by turning it off, then pressing and holding the call button for about 2-3 seconds until the indicator light starts flashing. Once you’ve put your headphones in pairing mode, go to your device’s Bluetooth settings and select the Plantronics Voyager from the list of available devices. Follow the prompts to complete the pairing process.
Why won’t my Plantronics Voyager pair with my device?
If your Plantronics Voyager won’t pair with your device, there could be several reasons for this. First, make sure that your headphones are in pairing mode and that your device’s Bluetooth is enabled. Also, check if there are any other devices connected to your headphones that may be interfering with the pairing process. If you’re still having trouble, try restarting your device or resetting your Plantronics Voyager.
Another common issue is that the headphones may be paired with another device. To resolve this, try turning off the device that the headphones were previously paired with, then try pairing again with your new device. If none of these solutions work, you may want to consult the user manual or contact Plantronics customer support for further assistance.
Can I pair my Plantronics Voyager with multiple devices?
Yes, the Plantronics Voyager allows for multipoint technology, which means you can pair it with up to two devices at the same time. This is particularly useful if you want to use your headphones with both your phone and computer, for example. To pair with multiple devices, simply follow the same pairing process as before, but with each device separately.
When you’re paired with multiple devices, you can easily switch between them by using the call button on your headphones. For example, if you’re on a call on your phone and you want to switch to your computer, simply press the call button to end the call on your phone, then press the call button again to answer the call on your computer. The headphones will automatically switch to the new device.
How do I mute or unmute my microphone on the Plantronics Voyager?
To mute or unmute your microphone on the Plantronics Voyager, simply slide the microphone boom up or down. When the boom is up, the microphone is muted, and when it’s down, the microphone is unmuted. You’ll also hear a voice prompt telling you whether the microphone is muted or unmuted.
Additionally, you can also use the mute button on your headphones to mute or unmute the microphone. The mute button is usually located on the back of the headphones, near the call button. Simply press the mute button to toggle the microphone on or off.
How do I charge my Plantronics Voyager?
To charge your Plantronics Voyager, simply plug the USB charging cable into the charging port on the headphones and the other end into a USB port on your computer or a wall charger. The charging port is usually located on the back of the headphones, near the call button. When the headphones are charging, the indicator light will turn red.
It’s recommended to charge your headphones for at least 3 hours before the first use to ensure that the battery is fully charged. After that, you can charge your headphones as needed, depending on how often you use them. The Plantronics Voyager has a long-lasting battery life, with up to 24 hours of talk time and up to 16 days of standby time.
What is the range of the Plantronics Voyager?
The Plantronics Voyager has a range of up to 33 feet (10 meters) from the device it’s paired with. This means you can have some freedom to move around while still maintaining a clear and reliable connection. However, the actual range may vary depending on the environment and the device you’re paired with.
For example, if you’re in an open space with no obstacles, you may be able to get a stronger signal and a longer range. But if you’re in a crowded office or a building with thick walls, the range may be shorter. Additionally, the range may also be affected by interference from other wireless devices.
