Applies to: Yealink T54W, Yealink SIP-T85W, Yealink SIP-T87W
5 steps to get it done
Open Bluetooth settings
From the home screen, go to Menu > Basic > Bluetooth (the exact path may be Settings > Basic Settings > Bluetooth depending on your model and firmware).
Turn Bluetooth on
Enable the Bluetooth toggle on the phone.
Put your headset in pairing mode
Check your headset's manual for how to enter pairing mode — it's usually a long-press of the power or call button until an LED flashes.
Scan for the headset
On the phone, select Scan. It will search for discoverable Bluetooth devices within about 10 metres and list them.
Select and connect
Choose your headset from the list to pair and connect it.
Tips:
- Keep the headset and phone within about 10 metres with no walls or doors between them during pairing.
- Once paired, most headsets reconnect automatically to the phone whenever both are powered on and in range.
