  12. I have the 850 and when I fold the ear piece it will not turn off. The funny thing is, I leave that headset in the car and after work, when I go in the car, it automatically dials the last number dialed. It will not shut off at all even thogh it is folder. I thought it was the unit, so I have another 850 and it does exactly the same thing.

    any advise would be much appreciated

  13. George:
    That sounds like a problem with your 850….Mine would turn off when the boom was closed.

    Note that if you press the button once, it issues an “action” command, and most phones treat this as “redial the last number” if you are not in a call (they typically treat it as a “hang up” command if you are in a call).
