Getting Started Guide
When you connect a Polycom
place a call, you'll be able to have conversations and meet with people all
over the world, without any travel required. You also have the flexibility to
create your own directory of numbers, change the way calls are answered,
and customize what you see on the screen.
Before you place your first call with your V500 system, use this guide to
become familiar with some basic "how-to" information. This guide includes
overview information that you may find helpful when you're just starting
to learn about video conferencing or when you have experience, but you
need a quick refresher.
V500 systems can be customized to show only certain options. Therefore, there may
be options covered in this guide that you cannot access on your system. To find out
more about these options, please talk to the administrator of your system or refer to
the Administrator's Guide for the V500 System.
You use the remote control to place calls, adjust the volume, navigate
screens, and select options.
If you need to enter text, you can press number buttons, using the text-
entry method commonly used with cell phones. For example, to enter a
"b", press the number 2 button twice. Alternatively, you can press
Keyboard and use the on-screen keyboard to enter text.
