Bluetooth Usage on Yealink Conference Phones

Bluetooth provides a wireless connection within a range of about 32 feet. The best performance is in the range of 3 to 6 feet.

After pairing and connecting a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone you can make and receive mobile calls on your conference phone, use it as a speaker to play music from the mobile phone, and create a hybrid UC conference with merged calls from the mobile phone and a PC.

You can also configure the Bluetooth settings from the web user interface at the path Features>Bluetooth.

Activating/Deactivating Bluetooth Mode

Activating Bluetooth gives you access to a list of available nearby Bluetooth devices as well as devices your CP925/965/935W phone is already paired with (you still need to connect to paired device as explained next.)

To activate Bluetooth:

• Do one of the following:
  
  
  • Tap    on the idle screen.
    
    
  • Swipe down from the top of the screen or tap    on the bottom of the idle screen to access the Control Center and tap  .
    
    
• Toggle on the Bluetooth option.
  
  
• The phone automatically scans and displays a list of available devices in range listing names and device types (phone, headset, input devices, etc).
  
  If you have paired devices before, they will appear on the same screen under a Paired Devices list.
  
  
• The status bar displays the active Bluetooth icon ().

Repeat the same steps to deactivate Bluetooth and simply toggle off the Bluetooth option. The Bluetooth icon will disappear from the status bar. The current Bluetooth device that is connected to your phone will disconnect but will remain paired and available to use once you reactivate Bluetooth.

Pairing a Bluetooth Device

You can pair multiple mobile phones and devices with the CP925/965/935W but only one device can be connected at any given time (a headset or an input device can be simultaneously connected in addition to the mobile phone/device.) If you have paired several mobile devices you can switch the active connection between them.

After pairing a mobile  phone you can change its name, unpair it, and sync and view its contacts.

To pair and connect a Bluetooth-Enabled Mobile Phone with your IP phone:

• Activate Bluetooth on your CP925/965/935W phone as explained above.
  
  
• Activate Bluetooth on the mobile phone and also make sure it is discoverable (can be seen by other Bluetooth devices.) Otherwise, even if you enable Bluetooth on the mobile phone it may not be seen by the conference phone.
  
  
• If no mobile phone is found by the conference phone, tap    to scan for mobile phones.
  
  
• In the Bluetooth devices list, tap the mobile phone you want to pair with.
  
  
• The conference phone prompts a Bluetooth connection request with a pairing code.
  
  Make sure the code is identical to the one shown on the mobile phone and select Pair.
  
  
• You will be prompted to enable contacts syncing with the mobile phone. Tap OK to approve this. If you cancel this, you can sync the contacts later (see below).

Connection Indicators and Line Key Assignment

If the connection is successful, a “Connected” label appears under the name of the mobile phone (now listed in the Paired Devices list) and the connected Bluetooth icon ( ) appears in the status bar.

The conference phone will automatically find an available line key and assign it as a mobile account to let you place calls on the mobile phone. The Mobile Account key’s default label is “My Mobile”. If there is no available line key, you need to assign it manually.

Disconnecting or Switching a Connection

Tap a connected Bluetooth device and tap OK to disconnect it. The device will remain paired so you can reconnect back to it at any time.

To switch to a different, already paired, mobile phone first make sure the other phone has Bluetooth enabled and is discoverable. Tap the mobile phone in the Paired devices list, and tap OK when prompted to approve the new connection.

Renaming or Unpairing a Mobile Phone

You can rename a paired mobile phone so that you can easily recognize it.

The new name of the mobile phone will display in the Paired Devices list on the conference phone. But the name of the mobile phone that is displayed in the list of available devices (if you unpair the mobile phone) remains unchanged.

To rename or unpair a device:

• Tap    next to the name of a connected Bluetooth mobile phone in the paired devices list.
  
  
• If you wish to change the name of the phone, enter the desired device name, in the Rename field and tap    to apply the change.
  
  The new name will display in the Paired devices list.
  
  
• To unpair the mobile phone tap Unpair.
  
  The mobile phone disappears from the Paired devices list. It will now show in the Available devices list, where you can tap it if you wish to pair with it again.

Syncing and Viewing Mobile Contacts

You can enable the sync feature on a conference phone to let it sync with the contacts on a paired mobile phone as a convenient way to view and use these contacts directly from the conference phone.

To enable the mobile contacts sync feature:

• Make sure a Bluetooth phone is paired and connected to your conference phone.
  
  
• Do one of the following:
  
  
  • Tap    on the idle screen.
    
    
  • Swipe down from the top of the screen or tap    on the bottom of the idle screen to access the Control Center and tap  .
    
    
• Tap   next to the name of the connected Bluetooth mobile phone in the paired devices list.
  
  
• Enable the Mobile Contacts Sync option.
  
  
• On the mobile phone, authorize the CP925/965/935W to synchronize the contacts.
  
  The mobile contacts directory will now be available in the conference phone's directory.

If you no longer need to view and use the mobile contacts, repeat the same steps and simply turn off the Mobile Contacts Sync option. The mobile contacts directory disappears from the phone directory list.

If you deactivate Bluetooth on either the conference phone or your mobile phone, the contacts directory will also disappear from the phone directory list.

To view your mobile contacts on the CP925/965/935W:

• On the idle screen, tap   (Directory) and select Local Directory>Mobile Contacts.

Enabling Phone-Audio/Media-Audio

The phone-audio feature allows you to make and receive mobile calls, with the conference phone acting as a speaker and microphone for your connected mobile phone. Calling is still made through your mobile phone, but the audio is routed to the CP925/965/935W and the call is also controlled by it.

Note that controlling calls work for cellular calls, but may or may not work for calls made or received with any VoIP based communication apps (such as Google Voice, Skype, a softphone app, Telebroad's own mobile Teleconsole app, etc.) Try to open the dialer screen on the relevant app on your mobile phone and see if your conference phone can control it. Speaker and microphone functionality will work for any type of call.

When you enable the media-audio feature, the conference phone acts as a speaker for your connected mobile phone (or a PC connected via a USB cable) to play music or other audio media.

To enable phone-audio or the media-audio:

• Do one of the following:
  
  
  • Tap   on the idle screen.
    
    
  • Swipe down from the top of the screen or tap   on the bottom of the idle screen to access the Control Center and tap .
    
    
• Tap   next to the name of the connected mobile phone in the paired devices list.
  
  
• Toggle on the Phone audio option to enable Phone audio.
  
  
• Toggle on the Media audio option to enable Phone audio.
