This means a faster turn around for returned items and if a device is already declared as RMA by Yealink then replacements can be sent straight away.


Device update

How to Collect Diagnostic Files?

Yealink DECT WH6x headsets support two types of diagnostic files (including log files and audio files) to help analyse the headset problem. You can export these files at a time via Yealink USB Connect Tool and troubleshoot if necessary. The diagnostic file format is **.zip.

Steps:

1) Make an audio call, and go to the YUC path: Device support -- Comprehensive Diagnosis, select Audio collection and Collect operating system logs, then click Start.

2) Then try to reproduce the audio issue again. After the audio issue is reproduced, please click Stop to export the diagnostic files(audio and log files).
