System Basics; Using The Remote Control - Polycom V500 System Getting Started Manual

Getting Started Guide
for the V500 System
When you connect a Polycom V500™ system to your TV monitor and place
®
a call, you'll be able to have conversations and meet with people all over the
world, without any travel required.
It's easy to place video calls with the V500 system. 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 get
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.

System Basics

Using the Remote Control

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.
This guide refers to the V500 system remote control, shown on the following page. The
™
VSX Series remote control is also available. The VSX Series remote control enables you
to perform some advanced functions, such as far-site camera control. For more
information about purchasing the VSX Series remote control, see your Polycom
distributor.
