IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using your telephone equipment, the following safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to people.
• Read and understand all instructions.
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked
on the equipment.
• Installation must be performed in accordance
with all national wiring rules.
• The outlet to which this equipment is connected must be installed near the equipment,
and must always be readily accessible.
• This equipment can be hazardous if immersed in water. To avoid the possibility of
electrical shock, do not use this equipment
while you are in the bathtub or shower, or
when you are wet. If you accidentally drop
the equipment into water, do not retrieve
it until you have first unplugged all cords.
Do not reconnect this equipment until it has
dried thoroughly.
• Avoid using this equipment during electrical
storms in your immediate area. There is a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
Urgent calls should be brief. Even though
protective measures may have been installed
to limit electrical surges from entering your
home or business, absolute protection from
lightning is impossible.
• If you suspect a natural gas leak, report
it immediately, but use a telephone
away from the area in question. The
SoundStation2W™’s electrical contacts could
generate a tiny spark. While unlikely, it is
possible that this spark could ignite heavy
concentrations of gas.
• Never push objects of any kind into the
SoundStation2W™ through housing slots as
they may touch hazardous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a risk of
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the telephone. If liquid is spilled, contact
service personnel.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
disassemble SoundStation2W™. Opening
or removing covers may expose you to
hazardous voltages. Using incorrectly reassembled equipment can cause electric shock.
If your telephone equipment does not work
properly, refer to the section describing how
to connect service.
• For technical support contact Polycom Support at http://esupport.polycom.com.
• Never install telephone wiring during a
lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations
unless the jack is specifically designed for
wet locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or
terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected from the network interface.
• Always use caution when installing or
modifying telephone lines.

Mounting Options
Both the base station and the console can be wall mounted
if desired. The base station can also be mounted under a
table. The appropriate mounting screw holes are provided
on the back surfaces.
The console can also be locked in place using a standard
laptop security cable. This feature is designed for rooms
where it is important to ensure that the phone does not get
removed from its home location, and where it is desirable
to eliminate the analog phone cable to the wall. There is
a locking grommet on the side of the console designed to
accept the lock end of the cable.

Wireless Technology
SoundStation2W™ comes in two
different formats. The product uses
either 2.4 GHz WDCT (Worldwide
Digital Cordless Telecommunications)
or 1.9 GHz DECT (Digital Enhanced
Cordless Telecommunications) standard technology. WDCT is widely
used in North America, South America, and China, while DECT is used in
Europe, parts of Asia, and Australia.
WDCT and DECT are Digital Spread
Spectrum protocols which are reliable,
secure, and support excellent voice
quality and a wide range of dialing
features. Digital Spread Spectrum has
been used by the military for many
years because there is a low probability of signal interception and interference.
Digital Spread Spectrum technology
breaks the voice stream into small
fragments and spreads them over a
wide range of frequencies for transmission to a receiver. Only the receiver that is uniquely registered to the
transmitter will be able to reassemble
the signal to deliver the voice stream.
The SoundStation2W™ console and
base station act as both transmitters
and receivers. The console will only
reassemble the signal sent from its
matching base station and vice versa.
Accordingly, the console will operate
within 150 feet of the paired base station. The one-to-one pairing of console and base station ensures secure
voice signal transmission.
The SoundStation2W™ implements Digital Spread Spectrum using
frequency hopping encoding. Frequency hopping transmits the audio
signal fragments over rapidly switching frequencies in the 2.4 GHz and
1.9 GHz bands. Frequency hopping
enables the SoundStation2W™ to
automatically detect and avoid sources
of potential interference such as other
SoundStation2W™ phones or 802.11x
WLAN clients.
Security
The SoundStation2W™ is a highly secure voice
communications solution. There are five factors that
contribute to the robust security:
1. Unique pairing between console
and base station.
2. WDCT and DECT digital
spread spectrum technology
provides secure transmission.
3. The frequency hopping WDCT
and DECT implementation
makes it even more difficult for
voice signal to be intercepted.
SoundStation2W™ User Guide - 10
4. 64 bit voice encryption between
the base station and console.
This adds yet another layer of
security in order to provide
utmost confidence in the
SoundStation2W™ solution.
5. Aux Out recording is controlled
from the console user interface.
Mobile Phone Mode
Mobile Phone Mode is an additional
new mode of operation offered by the
SoundStation 2W™. This feature enables
you to combine the convenience of a mobile phone with the acoustics of a conference phone. For example, if you were in a
call on your mobile telephone, you could
connect your mobile telephone to the
SoundStation2W™ and use its speaker and
microphones to continue your conversation and include everyone in the room in
the conversation. In this mode the call is
travelling over the mobile phone network.
The 2.4 GHz (WDCT) or 1.9 GHz (DECT)
wireless link to the the basestation is not
required.
Mobile Phone Mode provides unlimited
flexibility to conference anywhere, even
in environments where there are no analog
lines or telephony infrastructure.
► Use the provided mobile phone con-
nector cable to connect your mobile
phone to the SoundStation2W™’s
mobile phone input/output jack.
► The connector and the mobile
phone cable will plug into a
standard 2.5mm headset jack. A
headset adaptor may be necessary
to adapt your mobile phone to this
connector. Adaptors are widely
available at electronics stores and

hands-free kits.

a connected mobile phone.

detected until a call is initiated by the
mobile phone after it is connected to
the SoundStation2W™.
► Voice quality may vary depending
on the mobile phone connection and
model.
