CONTROLLING WHAT YOU HEAR

Controlling What You Hear

Adjusting Volume

During a call, you use the remote control to raise or lower the volume of the sound you hear. Changing the volume affects only the sound you hear at your site.

To adjust the volume:

>>Press Volume on the remote control.

Muting the Microphone

You can mute the microphone if you do not want the far site to hear what you say. For example, you might mute the microphone if you want to speak to someone privately.

To mute or unmute the microphone:

>>Press Mute on the remote control.

Receiving Content

Some video conferencing systems, such as the Polycom VSX7000 system, can send content during a video call. The content could be, for example, a file stored on a PC or a paper document or object placed on a document camera.

If you are in a video call with a V500 system and the far site sends content, the content automatically appears on your screen. The content remains on the screen until the far-site system stops sending it.

If you are displaying the PIP when content is sent, you see the content in the main part of the screen and, in the PIP, you see the people at the far site.
