• Ports on the CP900: USB 2.0 PnP & Bluetooth 4.2, USB cable 0.9 m.

Step by step

1. Pick the position. Put it in the middle of the table, away from laptops, projector fans and HVAC vents, with nothing covering the microphones.

2. Charge and connect it. Charge the CP900 fully, then connect it to the computer with the USB cable or the Bluetooth dongle. It runs on battery or USB power.

3. 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.

4. Set up USB mode. Connect the CP900 to the computer by USB. In Teams, Zoom or Meet, open the device settings and select the CP900 as the microphone and speaker. Install Yealink USB Connect for firmware updates and device settings.

5. Update the firmware. When attached to a MeetingBar A20/A30 (Teams), CP900 firmware is bundled with the bar's upgrade; do not unplug the CP900 USB cable during the upgrade. How to update the CP900

6. 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.
