ENGLISH

Your system should be in standby mode. When in standby mode, pressing any key or picking up the remote
control will wake up the system. An incoming call will also wake up the system. If the system does not respond,
make sure the system is switched on.

The system’s most commonly used functions are accessible directly from the remote control.

Quick keys

The three buttons on top of the remote control refer to the blocks at the bottom of the
screen. The text inside the blocks will change depending on which menu is selected.
The three Quick keys have different colors.

Preset keys

Activate pre-stored camera positions.

Video source keys

Activate connected video sources.

Camera control and menu navigation keys

Frequently used keys allowing you to control your own camera and the far end camera,
control your volume, select and move self-view, switch your microphone off and navigate
in the menu system.

Dialing keys / Preset keys

Used to make a call. The twelve number keys, (0-9), #, * operate in the same way as
on a modern push-button telephone. These buttons are also used when entering a name
into a text field.

Making and ending calls

Making a call

To make a call, enter the number or the IP-address of the unit you wish to call using the Dialing keys
and press CONNECT.

To make a call via a LAN, enter an IP-address by using a * as the ‘dot’ in the IP-address, e.g. 123*3*0*12 will be
interpreted as 123.3.0.12. If a gatekeeper is present, you may place IP-calls using “telephone-style” numbers (an
E.164 alias), according to the numbering plan implemented in the gatekeeper. The dialed number will then be
translated into an IP-address by the gatekeeper.
