It also features technology that resists interference from mobile phones and other wireless devices, delivering clear communications with no distractions. Plus, Polycom’s legendary full-duplex technology ensures that everyone on the call can be heard.

Convenient controls for Bluetooth, volume adjustment, mute, redial, ﬂash and hold are located on an intuitive, easy-to-use keypad. When dialing over regular phone lines, a handset phone can be plugged in for private calls, or simply switch back to the VoiceStation 500 for hands-free conversations.
