Thank you for buying a product, which contributes to a reduction in pollution, and thereby
helps save the environment. Our products reduce the need for travel and transport and
thereby reduce pollution. Our products have either none or few consumable parts (chemicals,
toner, gas, paper). Our products are low energy consuming products.
Battery handling
Batteries for the Remote Control are Long Life and Alkaline batteries saving the environment;
please follow guidelines on the packing material for handling and disposal of the batteries.
Waste handling
No need to send material back to TANDBERG as there are no consumables to take care of.
Please contact your local dealer for information on recycling the product by sending the main
parts of the product for disassembly at local electronic waste stations, marking recyclable
parts so the waste station can disassemble and re-use these parts.
Production of products
Our factories employ the most efficient environmental methods for reducing waste and
pollution and ensuring the products are recyclable.
Digital User Manuals
TANDBERG is pleased to announce that it has replaced the printed versions of its
User Manuals with a digital CD version. Instead of a range of different user manuals,
there is now one CD which can be used with all TANDBERG products, in a variety of
languages. The environmental benefits of this are significant. The CDs are recyclable
and the savings on paper are huge. A simple web-based search feature helps users
directly access the information they need. In addition, the TANDBERG video systems
now have an intuitive on-screen help function, which provides a range of useful features
and tips. The content of the CD can still be printed locally if the need arises.

Operator Safety Summary
User Manual
For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the
equipment and keep this manual for future reference. The information in this summary is
intended for operators. Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions both on
the apparatus and in the operating instructions.
Equipment Markings
The lightning flash symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltages” within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock.
The exclamation mark within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions within literature
accompanying the equipment.
Warnings
Water and moisture - Do not operate the equipment under or near water - for
example near a bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool or in areas with high humidity.
Cleaning - Unplug the apparatus from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a lint-free cloth lightly moistened with
water for cleaning the exterior of the apparatus.
Ventilation - Do not block any of the ventilation openings of the apparatus. Install in
accordance with the installation instructions. Never cover the slots and openings with
a cloth or other material. Never install the apparatus near heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
Grounding or Polarization - Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or
third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician.
Power-Cord Protection - Route the power cord so as to avoid it being walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against it, paying particular attention to the plugs,
receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the apparatus.
Attachments - Only use attachments as recommended by the manufacturer.
Accessories - Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

1.1 At a Glance

1 Introduction
The remote control uses 4 AAA batteries. The system will tell you when batteries are running
low. Change batteries from the backside of the remote control.
The reach of the remote control signal is 20 meters. For users sitting in an open plan office,
this can cause problems. Use the little, white switch placed under the batteries to change the
reach of the signal from 20 meters to 2 meters. This will prevent you from unintentionally
controlling your neighbor's video system, when you control your own system.
Microphone
The microphone is integrated in the rubber foot supporting the front of the codec. This is an
ideal location for the high quality voice pickup needed during a videoconference. Sound
reaches the microphone through a small hole in the rubber. Care should be taken not to cover
up the hole, as this may lead to deterioration of sound quality. Any liquid spilled should be
cleaned up immediately to avoid damage to the microphone.

3.2.3 Layout
The Layout button has two behaviors depending on the Picture Layout setting in Administrator
Settings (see chapter 4.1.8 Screen Settings). It can provide either a Picture in Picture or a
Picture outside Picture.
3.2.3.1 Picture in Picture
With Picture in Picture (PIP), Layout makes it possible to see an extra picture in a smaller
view. Pressing Layout will bring up a picture in picture in the corner of the screen. Press
Layout again to move it to the other corners of the screen and finally hide it. You can also
hide it directly by pressing and holding Layout for 1 second. Picture in picture will always
appear on the main monitor. Automatic PIP is the system's default setting. That means that
you will automatically show Picture in Picture when it is suitable (see chapter 4.3 Presentation
Settings).
How to use Layout with Picture in Picture:
1. Press Layout once to bring up a picture in picture.
2. Press Layout three more times to move it around in the corners of the screen.
3. The fourth time you press Layout, it will disappear.
4. Pressing and holding Layout for 1 second will hide the small picture directly from any
position.
Example of PIP
3.2.3.2 Picture outside Picture
With Picture outside Picture (POP), pressing Layout will bring up compositions of the pictures
that are optimized for wide screens. Press once to get an extra picture in a smaller view.
Press twice to get side-by-side view. Press again to go back to full screen view. You can also
go back to full screen directly by pressing and holding Layout for 1 second. It is
recommended to use Picture outside Picture for wide screen monitor systems.
How to use Layout (Picture outside Picture):
1. Press Layout once to get the 1+3 layout. You see a big far end picture and a smaller
picture of yourself in the upper right corner. If you use Duo Video, you see a big
picture of the Duo Video and small pictures of the far end and yourself.
2. Press Layout again to get the side-by-side layout (1+1). You see two equally big
images of the far end and yourself.
3. The third time you press Layout you go back to normal full screen view.
4. Pressing and holding Layout for 1 second will bring you back to full screen anytime.
20
3 General Use
Note that if both TV monitor format and VGA format (in Administrator Settings\General\Screen
Settings) is set to Normal, the system will skip the 1+3 layout, which is not beneficial for 4:3
monitors.
Example of POP

3.2.5 Volume + and -
Press the Volume key to adjust the volume level. An on-screen indicator will show the current

are in a call, the number keys are used for Camera Presets. Press a number and you go to
the corresponding Camera Preset (see chapter 3.10.3 Camera Presets). However, when you
are in an input field where numbers are required, the system automatically goes to number
mode and you can dial numbers with the number keys as usual.
When you are in an input field where letters are required, the system automatically goes to
letter mode. Writing letters works like on a mobile phone. Press the key that corresponds to
your desired letter. Press the key as many times as you need to get the right letter. Change to
lower or back to upper case letters with the a/A key, and space with the 0 _ key.
To write numbers in a text input field, press the button through all the letters. Press once more
