2. You’ll hear an audible message that says “Factory Reset”
3. Unplug the power from the Yealink headset base for about 10 seconds. 
4. Reconnect the power.

If you have Yealink USB Connect software downloaded, you can also do a factory reset directly through the software. So, you have two different ways you can do a factory reset. 

Tip 2 - Try a firmware update.

1. make sure that you have Yealink USB Connect downloaded 
2. The headset base connected to the computer. 
3. Within the USB Connect App it will show if a new firmware release is available. If there is, then simply follow the on screen instructions to complete the process. 
4. Then unplug the AC power from the headset base, wait 10 seconds, and plug the power back in. 

Connected to a Yealink phone and having trouble? 

Maybe you don’t have audio, remote call answering, or ring detection. If that sounds familiar, you’ll want to make sure your phone firmware release is version 86 or above. 

To check your phone firmware: Open "Menu" or "Setting" -> "Status" (->"General") and find "Firmware: xx.86.x.xx" as v86

Not sure how to update firmware? follow this guide, or share with your phone system admin for help.

If your phone firmware version is below release 86, then you’ll want to update that. And, if you’re not familiar with how to do that, then you’ll want to contact your phone Administrator, or whoever manages your phone system. 

The main point of this blog is to say if you’re having trouble with your Yealink WH62, or WH63, and would like to attempt resolving it, start by downloading the Yealink USB Connect software.

From there, do a factory reset, and if that doesn’t fix your problem, then try doing a firmware update. And if none of those tips resolves the issue, then contact your phone Administrator.
