Using the Basic Features of Your Polycom® CX400 Cordless Phone

Your Polycom CX400 cordless phone is designed to be used like a regular handset, but you place calls using the Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 client window. Calls may be answered using the phone or the Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 client window. The handset includes display capabilities with presence, up to a 33-foot (10 meter) reception range, and up to 10-hour talk time.

Once installed and configured, the Polycom CX400 cordless phone and Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 work in a tightly integrated manner. Voice input and audio output will be through the handset (or optionally connected headset) whenever Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 is used. If speakerphone mode is selected on the handset, audio output will be through the computer's speakers.

Most actions to handle calls—for example, placing, answering, and placing on hold—are performed using the Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 application. Some actions are also performed using only the keys on the handset. Other actions use the handset and desktop client together.
