Polycom® CX300 R2 USB Desktop
Phone for Microsoft® Lync®

The look, sound, and feel of a conventional enterprise­grade telephone with plug-and-play ease of use

The Polycom® CX300 R2 is a USB phone that is optimized for use with Microsoft®
Lync®. It seamlessly integrates with your PC’s Lync client and combines the look,
sound, and feel of a conventional, enterprise-grade telephone with plug-and­play ease of use. Experience Polycom’s wideband audio voice quality for more
natural conversations without echoes or feedback—whether in handset, full-duplex
speakerphone, or headset mode—it’s your choice.

Traditional form factor

For users who want more than Lync with only a headset, the CX300 is designed to
be used as a regular handset. Calls may be placed or answered using the phone or a
Microsoft Lync client window. Like a traditional phone, the CX300 includes convenient
buttons for controlling calls, such as a full dial pad, and keys for controlling volume,
mute, speaker phone, hold, redial, and external headset mode. A two-line monochrome
backlit display shows you important call details during your call and displays your Lync
presence status when idle.

Superior voice quality

The CX300 delivers remarkable high definition audio quality for the ultimate voice
communications experience. With its sleek, high-quality handset and its full duplex,
hands-free speakerphone, the CX300 enables crystal-clear, natural conversations
without echoes or feedback.

Benefits

Clear high definition wideband
audio maximizes the accuracy
and productivity of real-time
conversations whether in handset,
full duplex speakerphone, or
headset mode

• Familiar form factor—

Easy to deploy and use

The CX300 connects and powers through an integrated USB cable for easy
installation and use. There are no extra cables to carry and no drivers to install.
Simply connect the phone to any PC running Microsoft Lync and it will instantly be
ready to start placing or receiving phone calls. It’s a nice fit for the oce, the home
oce, and especially for hotelling oce arrangements without assigned cubicles that
is gaining popularity in today’s work environment.
