How to set up the Yealink CP700, from unboxing to a working test. It's a USB device: plug it into a laptop or room PC and it shows up as a microphone and speaker in any meeting app.
Before you start: check the box
- Yealink CP700 Speakerphone
- Zipper bag

- Quick Start Guide
What you need
- Ports on the CP700: USB 2.0 & Bluetooth 4.2, USB cable 0.8 m.
- For USB mode: a laptop or room PC with a free USB port that matches the included cable. Plug directly into the computer rather than through a hub where possible.

Step by step
-
Pick the position. Put it in the middle of the table, away from laptops, projector fans and HVAC vents, with nothing covering the microphones.
-
Charge and connect it. Charge the CP700 fully, then connect it to the computer with the USB cable or the Bluetooth dongle. It runs on battery or USB power.
-
Pair a phone (optional). Put it in Bluetooth pairing mode (see the quick start guide for the button) and pick it on your phone. Bluetooth is for calls from a phone or tablet; for meetings on a computer, USB is more reliable.
-
Set up USB mode. Connect the CP700 to the computer by USB. In Teams, Zoom or Meet, open the device settings and select the CP700 as the microphone and speaker. Install Yealink USB Connect for firmware updates and device settings.
-
Update the firmware. Do not unplug devices during an upgrade. See Updating the firmware below.
-
Run a test call. Join a test meeting, talk from the farthest seat, and ask the far end whether you're clear, at a good level and without echo.
