The lift-to-mute allows you to mute and unmute your microphone quickly while in a call, rather than looking for a button.
DECT Wireless Range Up to 160m
DECT provides the headset with a greater wireless range than most of the short-range office wireless systems.
The WH66 is capable of achieving a range of up to 160m (525 feet) between the headset and base. The actual range could be less than the claimed range due to physical obstacles such as walls.
While on a call, in case you move out of the coverage range, the headset will give an out-of-range warning. Upon getting back into the coverage range, the call may continue. The headset turns off if it is out of range for about 10 minutes
Secure DECT for Business Communication
The headset utilizes Secure DECT Step C technology. According to Yealink, DECT is protected by the DSAA2 and DSC2 128-bit encryption.
This enables the creation of a secure wireless connection between the headset and base, which is useful in a business environment where communications are crucial.

2-Port USB 3.0 Hub for Your Desk
The UC Workstation serves in addition as a 2-port USB 3.0 hub.

Built-In Busylight for Fewer Interruptions
The headsets have a built-in LED busy light that shows others the status of the headsets.
They can be used to notify your coworkers that you are engaged in a call in order to avoid unnecessary disturbances in common working areas.
The BLT60 external busylight can also be bought as an accessory option for those requiring a bigger visual indication.
Optional Wireless Charging for Mobile Phones
The optional WHC60 Qi wireless charging stand fits in the workstation.
The accessory will enable you to charge a compatible mobile phone via Bluetooth, then connect it to the base. This provides another functionality to the desk setup without the need for an extra phone charger.
The WHC60 is sold separately.
Battery Life for Daily Business Calls
