Getting Started Guide
for the V500
System
When you connect a Polycom® V500 system to your TV, you’re providing
your home office or small business with all the essential tools you need for
video conferencing. With a V500 system, you can meet with people anywhere
in the world, as if they were in the room with you. Everyone’s productivity
increases, without any travel required.
It’s easy to place video calls with the V500 system. You also have the
flexibility to create your own directory of numbers, change the way calls are
answered, and customize what you see on the screen.
Before you place your first call with your V500 system, use this guide to get
some basic “how-to” information. This guide includes overview information
that you may find helpful when you’re just starting to learn about the
capabilities of the system or when you have experience, but you need a quick
refresher.
System Basics
Using the Remote Control
The remote control lets you perform meeting tasks, such as placing a call and
adjusting the volume. You can use the remote control to navigate screens and
select options.
You can also use the remote control to type text by pressing the number
buttons using the text-entry method commonly used with cell phones. For
example, to enter a “b”, press the number 2 button twice.
