Making a Call

3. To place a call use the arrows on the Polycom remote to select either "Place a Call" or "Directory". It is recommended for calls between campuses to select Directory as it will already contain all ITV room addresses.

4. Once Directory has been selected, the following menu will open. From here select Favorites and pick which room or location you would like to connect to.

5. If the address you want to connect to is not in the favorites and you know the address you can call the number from the main menu by selecting the "Place a Call" button. Once selected type in address hit call.

With this method you can add 3 other locations for a total of 4. After you have completed your call simply hold the power button for a few seconds on the Polycom remote and a "No Signal" should show on the TV. This indicates that the Polycom has been shut down and you can now turn off the TVs and projectors.
