The Mitel 600 series DECT Phones can download and upgrade their firmware via
DECT over the air. See the Download Over Air section of the
SIP-DECT OM
System Manual, Administration Guide, Release 8.1.
1. To subscribe new Mitel 600 DECT phones, open the DECT phone System >
Subscriptions menu.

Settings (for example, 123456).

to subscribe to the first available DECT system.
UPDATE FIRMWARE
Most Mitel 600 series DECT phones have the latest firmware and are pre-configured
before they are delivered to a customer site. If that is the case for your deployment, you
can skip this section.

SIP-DECT OM System Manual,
Administration Guide, Release 8.1 guide if you need to update the firmware.
