Motorola phones and mini-USB handsfree

I recently ordered a Motorola SYN0896A wired handsfree, including
pushbutton, which terminates in the same mini-USB plug that many of the
new Motorola phones use. The manuals describe this port as for charging
and accessories.

To my naive surprise, neither my wife's RAZR V3c nor my SLVR L7 recognize,
or display any indication whatsoever, when the I plug it into either
phone. The manuals are useless on this! Is there any hope of a wired
headpiece working with newer models?

There's no specific indicator on the display for the headset. What
happens when you make or receive a call? It should just work when it's
plugged in. I have the similar model with stereo headphones and it
works fine.

I have the Motorola version of a USB handsfree kit, it displays a
message on the screen when I connect the USB plug.

From the OP's message I'm not sure if we're talking about a headset (he
calls it a headpiece) or the handsfree car kit. The latter provides an
indication, the former does not.

It is a Motorola earpiece. No calls came in; I just started pressing
buttons and expected to hear the tones in the ear as I would with the
older type of handsfree earpiece. Perhaps I should have placed a call.

And no, there is no indicator, visual or otherwise, when you plug it into
either phone.

Yes, if it's a Motorola headset you should hear tones when making a
call. If there's a button on the mic, try pressing it. If it's dead I'd
suspect a defective headset.

I'm using a headset (just an ear piece), and I do get some sort of
notification, although I don't recall the details without getting my
headset out and check.

On the display? I get nothing on the display but there is beep in the
headset. I'm using v3i so v3 may different.

Yes. I tried placing a call on both the Razr V3c and the SLVR L7 and in
both cases the phone behaved as though nothing was connected. Sound came
out of the phone, not the wired earpiece, and pushing the button on the
earpiece cord did nothing.

Sounds like you have a defective headset.
