To prevent far-site participants from hearing your conversation,
press the MUTE button on the remote control or press the button on
top of the microphone pod. The red light on top of the microphone
pod is illuminated. When the MUTE button is pressed, the Mute icon
is displayed at the bottom left of the television monitor at both the far

Excessive feedback may occur if the microphone pods is positioned
too close to the audio output of the ViewStation. Place the
microphone pod 5 feet or 1.5 meters away from television speaker

If a large conference room is used, ensure that all participants are
within 10 feet or 3 meters of the microphone pods. One additional
microphone pod can be connected in series. An additional
microphone pod can be purchased from the Polycom Website.
