Using a Mouse and Keyboard with Your Phone

You can use your computer’s mouse and keyboard to enter information and navigate screens on your phone.

Before you can use your mouse and keyboard with your phone, ensure that the Polycom Desktop Connector (PDC) application is installed and running on your computer. While the PDC application is running, you can move your mouse pointer back and forth between your computer and phone.
