Step by step
-
Fit it. Adjust the headband and boom so the microphone sits about two fingers from the corner of your mouth.
-
Charge and connect it. Charge the Voyager Legend 50 UC fully, then connect it to the computer with the USB cable or the Bluetooth dongle. It runs on battery or USB power.
-
Pair a phone (optional). Put it in Bluetooth pairing mode (see the quick start guide for the button) and pick it on your phone. Bluetooth is for calls from a phone or tablet; for meetings on a computer, USB is more reliable.
-
Set up USB mode. Connect the Voyager Legend 50 UC to the computer by USB. In Teams, Zoom or Meet, open the device settings and select the Voyager Legend 50 UC as the microphone and speaker.
-

-
Make a test call. Make a test call and ask the other side whether you're clear and at a good level; check mute sync between the headset and the app.
