Using Bluetooth Audio

Computer

Bluetooth Mode is an additional new mode
of operation offered by the VoiceStation™

500. This feature enables you to com

­bine the convenience of a mobile phone
or computer calling application with the
acoustics of a conference phone. For ex­ample, if you were in a call on your mobile
telephone, you could connect your mobile
phone via Bluetooth to the VoiceStation™
500 and use its speaker and microphones
to continue your conversation and include
everyone in the room in the conversation.

Bluetooth Mode on the VoiceStation™ 500
provides unlimited flexibility to conference
anywhere, even in environments where
there are no analog lines or telephony
infrastructure.

Bluetooth mode can be established in one
of three ways:

• Manually establish a Bluetooth
connection with VoiceStation™ 500
from a previously unpaired mobile
phone (see instructions below), or;

• Manually establish a Bluetooth
connection with VoiceStation™ 500
from a previously paired mobile
phone (select “PLCM VS500” from
a list of paired devices on your
mobile phone), or;

• Press the Link button to go to

Bluetooth Mode. At this point,
pressing th eon-hook/off-hook
button on VoiceStation™ 500 will
initiate a Bluetooth link to the last
paired mobile phone that it was
connected to. Once connected it
will establish the Bluetooth mode
without further user action. During
this time, the Link Indicator will
be solid blue. If a Bluetooth link
cannot be established within 60
seconds, VoiceStation™ 500 will
revert to POTS mode.

Initiating Bluetooth Mode:

Press Link button for 3 seconds to initiate
pairing mode (only if VoiceStation™ 500
is not off-hook in POTS mode)

• Link Indicator = fast flashing blue
(once per second), beeping occurs

• Activate Bluetooth mode on your
mobile phone, and select “Look For
Devices”

• Your mobile phone will find device
“PLCM VS500”. Choose to pair
with “PLCM VS500”.

• The passcode is “0000”

• After the passcode is accepted, an
automatic link exists between the
VoiceStation™ 500 and the mobile
phone (link indicator = solid blue
or slow blink, beeping occurs again

VoiceStation™ 500 - 8

to indicate connection between
devices)

• If Link indicator switches to slow
blink, you can go to the Bluetooth
menu of the device (e.g. mobile
phone) and choose “Connect”.

• VoiceStation™ 500 rings

• User can answer call on mobile
phone or can answer on VoiceSta
tion™ 500 by pressing the Off­Hook/On-Hook button (if supported
by Bluetooth profile of mobile
phone)

Wired Audio Mode via 2.5mm Jack

Use the provided mobile phone connec­tor cable to connect your mobile phone
to the VoiceStation™ 500’s 2.5mm audio
input/output jack. The mobile phone
connector cable will plug into a standard

2.5mm headset jack on your mobile phone.
A headset adaptor may be necessary to

VoiceStation™ 500 - 9

adapt your mobile phone to this connector.
Adaptors are widely available at electron­ics stores and mobile phone outlets for
universal hands-free kits. Polycom® also
offers hands-free adaptor kits for Nokia,
Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Siemens
brand mobile phones. Please contact your

local sales representative for more infor­mation about these adapter kits.

You can also use the provided Computer
Calling Cable with the VoiceStation

™
500’s 2.5mm audio jack. The Computer
Calling Cable allows you to make calls
over the Internet using the VoiceStation™

500. This feature enables you to combine
the convenience of Internet phone calls
via applications such as Skype, AIM,
MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and
corporate IP softphones, with the audio
quality of Polycom’s legendary conference
phones. Simply plug the Computer Call­ing Cable into your VoiceStation™ 500
on one end, and then connect the cable to
the sound card connectors on your desktop
computer or laptop.

When in POTS mode, inserting a 2.5mm
cable automatically enables the Wired
Audio mode, and the amber link indicator
will automatically come on. It is not pos­sible to have a Bluetooth connection while
in the amber mode. Removing the 2.5mm

cable automatically reverts the VoiceSta

­tion™ 500 to POTS mode.
When you are in active 2.5mm Wired
Mode it is possible to receive an incoming
POTS call. To pick up an incoming POTS
call you simply press the Off-Hook/On­Hook button and the link indicator will
turn off. This indicates that you are now
in POTS mode. As soon as you are done
with your POTS call, you can press the
Link button again so that the amber link
indicator appears, and you are now back in
Wired mode.

For best audio performance when using the

Computer Calling Cable with VoiceStation™

500, be sure to turn on “Mic Boost” in the

Maintenance

Clean the VoiceStation™ 500 with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol- or petroleum-based cleaners.

Troubleshooting

No Dial Tone

► Check that all connections are cor-

rect and tight.

► Make sure the short cable is con-

nected to a standard analog phone
line.

► Try a different telephone line.

Phone Does Not Ring

► Adjust the Ringer with the Volume

up button.

Short Silences, Echoes, or
Clipped Speech

► Do not move VoiceStation™ 500

while it is in use.

► Keep your hands away from the

phone during calls.

► Keep papers, cups, coffee pots, and

other objects away from the phone.

► At the beginning of a call, allow

each speaker present to speak in
turn for a few moments to enable
the phone’s electronics to adjust to
the acoustic environment.

► The other party may be using low

quality equipment or a half-duplex
conference bridge, in which case
there is no solution.

Muffled or “In a Well”
Reception

► Speak closer to the phone so that

the microphones pick up your
speech more accurately.

► Add more sound absorbency to the

room.

Excessive Noise

► Noisy equipment such as a com-

puter or fan may make it difficult to
hear the other party. Both parties
should turn off noisy equipment.

► Try calling again to see if a differ-

ent line provides a better connec
tion.

Physical Damage

► If physical damage is severe

enough that the internal parts
become visible, disconnect the
VoiceStation™ 500 immediately.

► Do not reconnect to the network

until the VoiceStation™ 500 has
been repaired.
