What do I need to set up and use a Yealink W73H or W74H cordless handset?

What you need to set up a Yealink W73H or W74H cordless handset, including the DECT base station requirement and purchasing options.

Setting Up and Using a Yealink W73H or W74H Cordless Handset

The Yealink W73H and W74H cordless handsets are designed for professional communication needs. Both require specific components and setup steps to function properly. Below is a comprehensive guide to help you get started.

1. Requirement for a DECT Base Station

Neither the W73H nor the W74H can operate independently. Each requires a DECT base station to connect to a network and make or receive calls. Without a base station, the handset cannot register or function.

2. Compatible Base Station

The W73H works with W60, W70, W80 and W90B base stations. The W74H is the handset supplied with the W74P bundle and pairs with the same DECT base stations. Once paired, you can complete the registration and provisioning process to start using the device.

3. Purchasing Options

These handsets are often sold as add-on devices, meaning they may not include a base station in the package. This is ideal for users who already own a compatible base station. However, if you purchase the handset-only option, ensure you have or acquire a compatible base station. Some bundle packages include both the handset and the base station, which can simplify the setup process.

Choosing an Extra Handset

bOnline offers four extra handsets for growing a cordless system one colleague at a time. All four require a compatible DECT base station and must be registered to it before use.

  • W71H — adds a colleague to a W71P. The lowest-cost extra handset.

  • W73H — the existing-customer favourite. Works with W60, W70, W80 and W90B bases.

  • W74H — the W74P handset, with Bluetooth headset support and vibrate alert.

  • W78H — the premium W78P handset, with a large colour screen and long battery life.

4. Troubleshooting Tips

  • If your handset is not functioning, verify that it is paired with a compatible DECT base station.

  • Ensure the base station is powered on and connected to the network.

  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions for registration and provisioning to complete the setup.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your handset is set up correctly and ready for use.
