	on page 17 for instructions on how to disable the display.

	Connect the SoundPoint IP 7000 phone to any optional equipment, such as
	external microphones.
	The phone can also connect to audio from a mobile phone or from a computer
	calling application. Refer to Connecting an Optional External Microphone on
	page 7 and Connecting Optional Auxiliary Audio Components on page 8.

Connecting an Optional External Microphone

When the phone is connected to a Polycom HDX system:

•It acts as a microphone for all calls on the Polycom HDX system. One or two Polycom HDX Microphone Arrays may be used as extension microphones.

•When the call is audio only, the speaker in the phone is used. Otherwise, the audio comes from the Polycom HDX system.

You can connect a microphone to the phone using an optional

External Microphone Kit. Depending on the External Microphone Kit you have, the kit will contain either two SoundStation IP 7000 extended microphones (analog), or one Polycom HDX Microphone Array (digital).

Note	For this deployment, you can only connect one external microphone to the
	microphone connector on the phone. The other microphone connector on the
	phone must be available to connect to the Polycom HDX system.
	Instead of connecting the microphone to the phone, you can connect up to two
	Polycom HDX Microphone Arrays to the Polycom HDX system. For more
	information on connecting microphones to the Polycom HDX system, refer to the
	“Optional setup” instructions in the setup guide for your system at
	http://www.polycom.com/videodocumentation.

	To connect a SoundPoint IP 7000 external microphone, connect the
	microphone cable to connector on the phone and the other to the microphone.
	To connect up to two additional Polycom HDX microphones, connect one to
	the connector on the phone and the other to a connector on the microphone.
	To add a second microphone, remove the cover from the connector on the first
	and connect the microphone cable to it and then to the other microphone.
