Personalizing the Yealink T54W to suit your environment — adjusting the ringer, volume, screen brightness, and language.
Adjusting Ringer Volume:
- While the phone is idle (not on a call), press the +/- rocker button on the left side of the phone
- The ringer volume bar appears on screen — press + to increase, - to decrease
- Pressing - all the way to 0 silences the ringer (phone will still vibrate if on a flat surface, and the screen lights up for calls)
Changing the Ringtone:
Menu > Basic > Sound > Ring Tones
Select from the available ringtone options. Press Play to preview before selecting.
Adjusting Call Volume:
During an active call, press the +/- rocker button to adjust the volume of the handset, speaker, or headset depending on which you're using.
Adjusting Screen Brightness:
Menu > Basic > Display > Backlight Brightness (Active) and Backlight Brightness (Idle)
Active = brightness while in use. Idle = brightness when the phone hasn't been touched for a while (dimmed to save power).
Setting the Screensaver/Backlight Timeout:
Menu > Basic > Display > Backlight Time
Set how many seconds/minutes of inactivity before the screen dims. Range is typically 15 seconds to Always On.
Changing the Date and Time Display:
Menu > Basic > Date & Time — you can set the time format (12-hour vs 24-hour) and date format here. In most setups, the time syncs automatically from your phone system's NTP server.
Changing the Phone Language:
Menu > Basic > Language
Select English (or another language if needed). Press Save.
Setting Wallpaper:
Menu > Basic > Display > Wallpaper — choose from the built-in wallpaper options or use a custom image if your phone system provisioning supports it.
Note: Some settings may be locked by your phone system administrator to ensure consistent configuration across all phones. If you can't access a menu item, contact us.
