Description

A dual busylight for the open-plan office

The Yealink UH46 carries a dual busylight, so colleagues see the status from either side. Of the UH42, UH44 and UH46 trio it is the only model with a busylight, and that is the main reason to choose it for an open-plan office.

Three microphones and hearing protection

Noise handling rests on three microphones, an AI algorithm and Acoustic Shield technology, and the UH46 also has hearing protection. The noise handling works on the microphone side, that is it improves what the far end of the call hears. Within the UH4x range, the UH48 is the model with active noise cancelling (ANC).

Controls that do not get in the way

The microphone mutes when the boom is lifted, so the user does not have to find a button on the cable or in an application. The inline controller with LED indication stays on the cable. The headset can be worn on the left or the right ear, which matters on the monaural version.

Strengths and limits

Strengths

A dual busylight, colleagues see the status from either side
Three microphones against two on the UH44 and one on the UH42
Hearing protection built into the headset
Mute by lifting the microphone boom, with no button to find
One code covers both USB-C and USB-A, the adapter is in the box
A carry pouch in the box

Limits and what to tell the customer

For code 1308242 we confirm the platform branch at order time. For the monaural UH46 there are its own Teams (1308184) and UC (1308185) SKUs, which are different from our code. Do not put it into a bid that requires a certification without our confirmation.
The headset has AI noise handling with Acoustic Shield, which works on the microphone side, plus passive isolation from the cushions. Where the customer requires active noise cancelling (ANC), the UH48 is the right answer.
In the UH4x range, only the UH42 has memory foam. The UH46 cushions can be replaced, and we confirm the right part for your delivery at order time.
The duo version weighs 166 g, the most of the UH42, UH44 and UH46 trio. Weight in this range rises with the microphone count.
The Teams or UC branch is fixed by the order code on the items where the branch is stated. For a Microsoft Teams environment, order 1308182.
The headset is corded, so the user stays within the reach of the cable. Where leaving the desk is needed, the WH DECT range is the right answer.

⚑ atlantis note

The busylight is the main reason

Between the UH44 and the UH46 it is not only the third microphone that decides, but the dual busylight. Of the UH42, UH44 and UH46 trio, only the UH46 has it. In an open-plan office or at a shared workstation that means fewer interruptions mid-call, an argument the customer grasps at once. If they do not need a busylight, the UH44 saves money.

Watch out for code 1308242

It is the only monaural UH46 item in our range and we confirm the Microsoft Teams or UC branch for it at order time. For the monaural UH46 there are its own codes 1308184 (Teams) and 1308185 (UC). For an environment where the customer requires the certification, we confirm the classification of code 1308242 first.

When to go higher still

The UH46 handles noise on the microphone side, that is for the far end. When the customer wants the user not to hear the office, that is a different requirement, and within the UH4x range only the UH48 answers it, with hybrid active noise cancelling in two depth levels. The UH48 is duo only though, and at 169 g the heaviest model in the family.

Who it suits

Recommended deployment
Manufacturer positioning	a corded USB headset for the office and the contact centre, the higher step of the UH4x range
Place in the portfolio	newer-generation corded USB headsets, the version with a dual busylight
How it differs from the UH44	the UH46 has three microphones instead of two and a dual busylight
How it differs from the UH48	the UH48 has six microphones and hybrid active noise cancelling, a 30 mm speaker and a weight of 169 g; the UH46 has a 35 mm speaker and also offers a monaural version

Good fit

An open-plan office or contact centre that needs a busylight. A shared workstation where colleagues walk past the desk. Operations with higher noise on the speaker's side. A mixed laptop estate, as the adapter is in the box.

Verify

Whether the customer requires a certification, because of code 1308242, whose branch we confirm at order time. Whether they need noise suppressed for the user or for the far end. How many people need monaural and how many duo. What ports the computers have.

Consider another model

The UH48 where the customer requires active noise cancelling for the user. The UH44 where no busylight is needed. The UH42 where price and weight decide. The WH DECT range where leaving the desk matters.

The "Verify" and "Consider another model" cards come from the experience of the atlantis team.

Platforms and connection

To a computer

By USB-C cable

The cable is split, 0.65 m from the headset to the controller and 1.5 m from the controller to the USB-C connector. The adapter to USB-A is in the box.

Manufacturer certification

By the code branch

Code 1308182 is in the Microsoft Teams branch and code 1308183 in the UC branch. For code 1308242 we confirm the branch at order time.

Audio and microphones

Microphone band	100 Hz to 14 kHz
Noise handling	AI Noise Cancellation with Acoustic Shield and hearing protection
Busylight	dual
Microphone mute	by lifting the microphone boom
Channel	monaural or duo, per the order code

Acoustic Shield technology works on the microphone side, that is it improves what the far end of the call hears. Noise in the room is damped for the user only by the passive isolation of the cushions.

Build, cable and controls

Cable	0.65 m headset to controller, 1.5 m controller to the connector
Controller	inline, with LED indication
Connector	USB-C, with an adapter to USB-A in the box

Every model in the UH4x range has a single connector version, a USB-C cable with an adapter to USB-A in the box. The "USB-C/A" in the name therefore does not distinguish codes within the range.

What to check before ordering and deploying

Certification on code 1308242: we confirm its platform branch at order time, so do not put it against a certification requirement without our confirmation
Which noise is to be solved: the UH46 suppresses noise for the far end; for the user, the UH48 with ANC is the answer
Monaural or duo: 127 g with one ear free, or 166 g with both covered
Busylight: dual, walk users through when it lights during training
Platform branch: Teams or UC on codes 1308182 and 1308183, fixed by the order code
Computer ports: the cable is USB-C and the adapter to USB-A is in the box, there is no separate USB-A SKU
Cable length: 0.65 m plus 1.5 m, check the distance from computer to user
Management: firmware updates and settings through Yealink USB Connect

The atlantis team will help with every point. On the UH46 we most often help settle the certification question on the monaural code 1308242 and explain that a busylight and noise handling solve two different problems.

Management and services

Yealink USB Connect: the manufacturer's tool for managing Yealink USB devices, that is headsets, speakerphones and webcams. It handles firmware updates, feature settings and collecting diagnostic data.

atlantis services for partners

atlantis is a direct importer and distributor, and we supply through a network of specialist partners. The services below are therefore offered to the partner, not to the end customer. The partner sets the scope, according to their own capacity and skills, from a consultation alone to taking on the whole deployment.

Before the decision: a consultation on the model and the order code and a comparison of the suitable variants. We base the recommendation on the user's role, because a contact centre agent, a manager on the move and a shared workstation each need a different headset. We arrange a sample to try so the customer can check comfort, audio and range before ordering for a whole team.
Deployment and configuration: bulk settings and management of the headsets, connection to the communication environment, and advice on linking third-party software and hardware.
Training and documentation: training prepared to match the user's role, plus preparation of the user documentation.
Service and support after the sale: our certified team in Czech, available to the partner throughout the equipment's life. We handle a warranty claim with the manufacturer on the partner's behalf.

Warranty

The standard warranty on Yealink products is 24 months.
