LG VX-8700

I just bought a Samsung WEP-200. It has really good reviews, but nothing to keep me from buying it. I have had it less than a week, and the my 8700 will either disconect from the headset or not find it. I have tried removed the headset from the bluetooth history and tried to reinstall it. The phone can not find it. The only way I can get the phone to find the headset, once the connection has been lost, is to remove the battery from the phone for about 10 seconds. The phone will then find the headset with no problem.
My wife also has the 8700 and has had no problems connecting to my headset.

Has anybody had this problem or know how to fix it?
