Problem wth Bluetooth pairing iPhone 6 and Plantronics wireless headset

Have you ever paired this Plantronics with the iPhone 6? It sounds as if the Plantronics is not in discovery/pairing mode. If you have never paired it before, you will need to put the headset into discovery/pairing mode before the iPhone will see it. Once it is paired, it will connect daily as it did with the iPhone 4. Check the documentation for the Plantronics for putting it into discovery/pairing mode.
