To use your V700 system as a computer monitor:
1. Connect your computer to the V700 system as shown on the setup sheet
that came with the V700 system.
2. Press the Input button on the front of the V700 system to toggle between
displaying content from the computer and showing video from the video
conferencing system.
To answer a call while using the V700 system as a computer monitor:
1. When you hear a ring, press the Input button on the front of the system to
switch to the video conferencing system.
You must answer within 90 seconds, or the system will automatically
reject the call.
2. Press Call on the remote control.
If you use the V700 system as your computer monitor, Polycom recommends that
you set up the system so that calls must be answered manually. This ensures that
callers do not unexpectedly see or hear you at your desk.
When the system is set up for manual call answering, the system rings to indicate
an incoming call. To answer the call, switch to the video conferencing system and
answer manually. If you do not answer manually, the call will not connect.
