Placing A Call - LifeSize User Manual

Managing Near End Video Quality
Before you place a call, examine the near end video image from the camera connected to
your LifeSize system. If the image flickers, colors appear unbalanced, or the image appears
too dark, you may need to adjust the room lighting or camera settings. For more information,
refer to "Adjusting Room Lighting" on page 38 and "Camera Issues" on page 38.

Placing a Call

You can place a video or voice call with your LifeSize system in the following ways:
• Select a stored number from the REDIAL list on the main screen or from the directory.
• Manually dial a number using the following:
- Video Call or Voice Call buttons on the main screen
- video or voice keys on the LifeSize Phone if connected to your system
When placing a video call using the remote control or the video button on the LifeSize
Phone, you can dial either phone numbers or IP addresses. This enables systems inside a
corporate network without access to a gateway to call other LifeSize Phones in the network
using system IP addresses.
If you enter # as the first character when placing a call, the system attempts to dial the call
first as an ISDN number.
Using a comma in a number specifies a one-second pause in the dialing sequence. This
may be required, for example, when placing a PSTN call that requires a pause after dialing
the first number to obtain an outside line. You can use more than one comma to increase the
duration of the pause, if needed.
