# Cordless DECT phones

> Set up the Yealink W70B DECT base station, pair compatible cordless handsets, and fix a handset stuck on "Searching for Base".

The Yealink W70B is the cordless base station for VOXO DECT phones. It connects to your network, registers to VOXO as a phone, and serves as the wireless hub for your cordless handsets.

## Compatible handsets

* **W70H** — the standard handset that pairs with the W70B.
* **W56H** — an older handset that also works with the W70B.

The base supports up to 5 paired handsets at once. Third-party DECT handsets are not guaranteed to work and need testing.

<Note>
  A base firmware update can occasionally cause pairing loss, so check your handsets after an update.
</Note>

## Pair a handset to the base

<Steps>
  <Step title="Put the base in pairing mode">
    On the base, press and hold the registration button on top for 3 to 5 seconds until the LED flashes green. This opens a pairing window of about 60 seconds. The button is small and is sometimes marked with a handset icon.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the handset registration menu">
    On the handset, go to **Menu** > **Settings** > **Registration** > **Register Handset**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the base">
    Select the base (it may show as "Base 1") and press **OK**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the base PIN">
    When prompted, enter the base PIN: `0000` (four zeros).
  </Step>
</Steps>

The handset registers within a few seconds and shows a dial tone and its extension. Place a test call in and out to confirm it works.

## Fix a handset stuck on "Searching for Base"

A handset that shows **"Searching for Base"** and never connects has lost its pairing with the base. This is common after a handset is factory reset, replaced, or newly delivered. Re-run the [pairing steps](#pair-a-handset-to-the-base) above to register it again.

If it still will not register:

* Do not factory reset the handset again. A reset erases the pairing and is the most common cause of the "searching" loop.
* Confirm the base is not at its 5-handset limit. If five are already registered, remove one before adding another.
* Note the exact message on the handset screen so support can see where registration stops.

<Note>
  A factory reset on a handset erases its pairing and triggers the "Searching for Base" state. A base reset does not always erase handset pairings, but it can prompt all handsets to re-register.
</Note>

For the DECT handset reset gesture itself — and how it differs from a desk-phone reset — see [Troubleshooting](/omnia/troubleshooting#a-desk-phone-wont-register).

**Contact support** if a handset still shows "Searching for Base" after the base enters pairing mode, you have entered PIN `0000`, and you have confirmed the base is online.
