Using a USB Device to Record Calls

If the Call Recording and Playback feature is available and you plug a removable USB device into the USB port on your SoundPoint IP 670, you can record active calls on your phone.

1 - 15

User Guide for the SoundPoint IP 670 Desktop Phone

The USB port is on the back of your SoundPoint IP 670 as shown below:

When you plug in the USB device, the USB device is supported and the message “USB device attached.” appears.

When you remove the USB device, the message “USB device removed.” appears.

Note

Wait until the “USB device removed.” message disappears before plugging in another USB device. If you plug in a new USB device before the message disappears, it will not be recognized.

Polycom recommends that you do not remove the USB device while recording. The file being recorded at that time will be incomplete and cannot be played back later. There is a small probability that the USB device itself may be damaged by this action.

Cleaning the LCD Glass

Clean the glass with a clean lint-free cloth. Fingerprints tend to show up more obviously on the color LCD.

Recording a Call

Note

Call Recording is an optional feature and may not be supported on your particular system. For more information, contact your system administrator.

If the Call Recording and Playback feature is available and you plug a removable USB flash drive into the USB port on your SoundPoint IP 670, you can record active calls on your phone. Recordings are stored as .wav files on the USB flash drive. You can record up to 4 hours in one file. The approximate time remaining for recording (the free space on the USB flash drive) is shown on the graphic display.

The Record soft key controls recording and is available:

• When there are one or more calls connected to your phone (you may need to press the More soft key to see it)

4 - 8

• During an active call

• When calls are on hold

• During a consultative transfer or conference call

The Record soft key is not available:

Using the Advanced Features of Your Phone

• When there are no connected calls on your phone

• When you place a new call (to transfer or to conference)

• When the phone prompts you to answer an incoming call

If you put an active call on hold, recording pauses. Recording continues if the called party puts you on hold. Recording stops if all active calls end, no matter who ends the calls.

If you press while recording, only the called parties are recorded.

Tones and indications (for example, dialing of digits or ringing from another party’s phone) that occur before a call connects are not recorded. Local tones and indications (for example, DTMF tones when dialing) are not recorded. However, tones from another party’s phone may be recorded.

You can start, pause, resume, and stop recording through the use of soft keys. All active calls that occur on your phone between the time you press the Start soft key and the Stop soft key are recorded, alternating in the same .wav file. For example, you place a call to party A and, after they answer, you start recording on October 4, 2007 at 11:22am. While speaking with party A, you get an incoming call. You put party A on hold and speak with party B. When you finish speaking with party B, you return to speaking with party A. While speaking with party A again, you get another incoming call. You put party A on hold and speak with party C. When you finish speaking with party C, you return to speaking with party A. You end your call with party A and recording stops. Your conversations with parties A, B, and C are all recorded in the same .wav file as follows:

If there is insufficient free space on the USB flash drive when you press the Start soft key, recording does not start and the message “USB device is full. Recording cancelled.” appears.

If the USB flash drive becomes full during recording, recording stops and the message “USB device is full. Recording stopped.” appears.

4 - 9

User Guide for the SoundPoint IP 670 Desktop Phone

If you remove the USB flash drive during recording, recording stops and the message “USB device removed unsafely. Recording cancelled.” appears.

Polycom recommends that you do not remove the USB flash drive while recording. The file being recorded at that time will be incomplete and cannot be played back later. There is a small probability that the USB flash drive itself may be damaged by this action.

Note

Recording Calls

You may be required by federal, state, and/or local laws to notify some or all called parties when you are recording (either one-party or all-party consent).
