Plantronics Voyager Legend BT dongle recognized - but no sound?

I think there are similar questions around, but not exactly the same problem:

I just bought a Plantronics Voyager Legend UC. Like all "UC" models, the headset comes with a small bluetooth dongle. When plugging the dongle, it immediately pairs with the headset, all fine.

When turning to the "audio devices" a new device shows up: Plantronics BT 300.
Using the PulseAudio volume control I can setup different profiles, like "analog mono output", or "analog mono duplex".

But unfortunately NO sound is reaching the headset.

Running Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit. Any idea anybody?

Actually the answer goes more like: "user error; read the manual more carefully".

This Plantronics has a little button called "play" (directly at the beginning of the micro boom).
This button is used to enable/disable transfer of audio input/output between headset and dongle.

After I figured that ... no more problems.

EDIT: checking the manual again I found that it is somehow misleading:

a) the button you have to press is the "call" button (the one with the phone icon next to it in the manual drawings)

b) the "play" button ... is actually the mute button on the boom

(I assume that "call" enables/disables the audio stream from your computer; whereas "play" might really "pause"/"play" when you are using Windows and media player ...)
