Troubleshooting the Polycom CX300 Phone

The party I am calling cannot hear me. Check the following:

Your phone's microphone is on Mute (the Mute button backlight is lit up).

The microphone, which is located on the lower-right corner of the phone, is pointed toward you and not blocked by other objects.

The microphone setting in Microsoft Office Communicator is set appropriately. To check, go to Tools in Microsoft Office Communicator, select Set Up Audio and Video, select the Polycom CX300 phone from the applicable drop-down menus, and then adjust the volume settings.

The speaker and microphone volume settings in the computer’s Windows operating system may be turned too low or to No Sound. To check, locate the appropriate Sounds application in the Windows Control Panel. Remember that any changes in sound levels that you make in your operating system will be reflected in all the phone’s audio devices. Also, although you can change volume playback and recording levels of your phone by using the Sound application in Control Panel, it is not recommended.

The party I am calling can hear noise. Check the following:

Make sure that the microphone is pointed toward you and turned away from the source of the sound.

Using the Polycom CX300 Phone as an Audio Device

I cannot hear sound from my phone.

Check the following:

The volume level of the speaker of the phone device that you are using (handset, headset, or speaker) may be set too low. Raise the volume level by pressing the Playback volume + button on the keypad. Be aware that the volume settings of the handset, headset, and speaker are independent of one another. Changing the volume setting of one device does not change the volume setting of the other two devices.
