| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Phone does not power on. | Power adapter not connected or faulty. | Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the phone and a working electrical outlet. Verify the power adapter is the correct one for the device. |
| No audio during calls. | Volume too low, microphone muted, or incorrect audio device selected in PC settings. | Adjust volume using the phone's buttons. Check if the microphone is muted. Verify that "Yealink MP50-Teams" is selected as the default audio input/output device in your PC's sound settings and UC application. |
| Dial pad not working correctly. | Firmware issue or incorrect call priority setting. | Update the phone's firmware using Yealink USB Connect. In advanced settings (if available), change the call priority to "current call" instead of "new call" to ensure dial pad inputs affect the active call. |
| Cannot make outbound calls directly from the phone (e.g., with Mac). | Compatibility limitations with certain operating systems or UC applications. | Initiate the call from your PC's UC application, then switch to the phone's handset or speakerphone once the call is connected. |
| Bluetooth device not pairing. | Device not in pairing mode, too far away, or interference. | Ensure the Bluetooth device is in pairing mode and within range. Disable and re-enable Bluetooth on both devices. Remove any previously paired devices that are no longer in use. |
