The Yealink T46U IP Phone is a sophisticated communication device designed for business environments, offering a range of features to enhance productivity and streamline communication. It functions as a standard IP phone but with advanced capabilities, including support for various accessories and integration with Cloud Voice services.
The primary function of the Yealink T46U IP Phone is to facilitate voice communication over an internet protocol (IP) network. It supports making and receiving calls, managing multiple calls, and utilizing various call features such as transfer, hold, redial, and conference calls. The phone is designed to integrate with Cloud Voice, ensuring that it's always updated with the latest firmware and ready for use with your assigned Cloud Voice number.
The device features a large color screen that displays essential information such as the extension number, time, date, and the functions of the soft keys. It provides visual cues for call status, network connectivity, and other operational modes through a series of icons. The phone can be connected to a network via an Ethernet cable, with options for both AC power and Power over Ethernet (PoE), offering flexibility in deployment.
For enhanced connectivity, the Yealink T46U supports USB flash drives for data transfer or storage, and it can connect to various headsets (RJ9, USB, and wireless via adapter) for hands-free communication. It also has Bluetooth capabilities, allowing it to pair with Bluetooth headsets or mobile phones, enabling users to handle calls through the headset or sync mobile contacts to the phone. Additionally, a Wi-Fi dongle can be connected to enable wireless network connectivity.
The Yealink T46U IP Phone offers a user-friendly interface with a keypad, line keys, and dedicated function keys for common actions like headset, mute, message, hold, redial, and transfer. Soft keys on the display provide context-sensitive options, adapting to the current phone status or menu.
Users can make calls by entering a number directly on the keypad, selecting a contact from the call history, or choosing from the directory. The phone supports international calls by pressing and holding the '0' key to get a plus sign (+) before entering the country code and number. When a call comes in, the phone rings, and the screen displays caller information. Calls can be answered by picking up the handset, pressing the speakerphone or headset key, or pressing the Answer soft key.
The phone allows for multiple calls, enabling users to place an active call on hold to make a new one. Call transfer options include blind transfer (direct transfer without consultation), semi-attended transfer (transferring when the target phone is ringing), and attended transfer (transferring after speaking to the recipient). Conference calls can be set up by dialing the first participant, pressing the "Conf" soft key, then dialing subsequent participants. During a conference, options to hold, split, mute, or end the call are available.
The phone maintains a call history of placed, answered, missed, and forwarded calls, which can be easily accessed and used to redial contacts. A corporate directory, managed by Cloud Voice, allows users to search for and dial contacts directly from the phone.
Users can view the phone's status, including network details (IP address, MAC address), device details (model, firmware version), and SIP account registration status. The time and date are automatically set by Cloud Voice but can be adjusted in phone preferences.
The DND feature allows users to reject incoming calls automatically. When DND is active, an icon appears on the screen, and missed calls are indicated.
When a new voicemail arrives, the phone plays an alert tone, the power indicator LED flashes red, and a prompt message with an icon appears on the screen. Voicemail can be accessed by pressing the "Mail" key or "Connect" soft key.
The phone seamlessly integrates with various accessories:
The Yealink T46U IP Phone is designed for straightforward maintenance to ensure its longevity and optimal performance.
The handset and base should be cleaned with a damp (not wet) cloth or an anti-static wipe. It is crucial to avoid using household polish, as this can damage the product. A dry cloth should also be avoided to prevent static shock.
To ensure proper functioning and durability, the phone should not be exposed to direct sunlight. It should be placed on a dry, flat surface, away from carpets or fibers that could obstruct airflow, ensuring adequate ventilation. The device should not be submerged in water or used in damp or humid conditions, such as bathrooms. It is also important to keep the phone away from fire, explosive, or other hazardous conditions.
When connected to the network, the phone automatically updates its firmware, ensuring it runs the latest software version. This process may take some time, and users are advised to be patient. A specific symbol indicates successful updates, while another symbol indicates an issue, prompting users to contact support.
In case of issues, such as a failed firmware update or other malfunctions, users are advised to contact customer support. The manual explicitly states not to open the handset or base, as this could expose users to high voltages or other risks and should only be handled by qualified personnel for repairs.
The phone offers two options for power and network connections: AC power with a power adapter or Power over Ethernet (PoE). Users should follow the instructions provided by their system administrator to determine the appropriate connection method.
It is important to note that the Cloud Voice number is registered to a specific address for emergency services (999 or 112 calls). If the phone is used at a different location, the registered address will not automatically change, and the administrator should be informed to update it. Emergency calls may also be affected by power or network failures.
By adhering to these usage and maintenance guidelines, users can ensure reliable and efficient operation of their Yealink T46U IP Phone.
