Setup

Unpacking

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present: the phone base, handset, coiled handset cord, Ethernet cable, and power adapter (if not utilizing Power over Ethernet).

Connecting the Phone

1. Connect the coiled handset cord to the handset and the port labeled with a handset icon on the phone base.
2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the phone (typically labeled with a network icon) and the other end to your network switch or router.
3. If your network does not provide Power over Ethernet (PoE), connect the included power adapter to the phone's power port and then to a standard electrical outlet.
4. Allow the phone to power on and initialize. This process may take a few minutes as the phone connects to your network and registers with your VoIP service.

Operating Instructions

Making a Call

1. Pick up the handset, press the Speaker button, or press an available line key.
2. Dial the desired phone number using the numeric keypad.
3. Press the "Dial" soft key on the screen or wait for the call to connect automatically.

Answering a Call

When the phone rings, you can answer by picking up the handset, pressing the Speaker button, or pressing the flashing line key corresponding to the incoming call.

Ending a Call

To end an active call, simply hang up the handset, press the Speaker button again (if using speakerphone), or press the "End Call" soft key on the display.

Using Programmable Line Keys

The 12 programmable line keys on your VVX 410 can be configured for various functions, such as speed dial, busy lamp field (BLF) indicators, or additional call appearances. The specific configuration of these keys is typically managed by your system administrator or VoIP service provider.

Conference Calls

The Polycom VVX 410 supports 3-way conference calls, allowing you to connect with two other parties simultaneously.

1. While on an active call, press the "Conference" soft key on the display.
2. Dial the number of the third party you wish to add to the conference.
3. Once the third party answers, press the "Conference" soft key again to join all parties into a single conversation.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the exterior of your Polycom VVX 410 phone, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemical solutions, as these can damage the phone's surface and internal components.

Care

To ensure the longevity of your phone, avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources. Keep the phone away from liquids and excessive dust. Handle the handset and cords with care to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

No Dial Tone

• Check all cable connections, especially the Ethernet cable connected to the LAN port and the power adapter (if not using PoE).
• Ensure the phone is receiving power and the display is active.
• If the issue persists, contact your VoIP service provider or system administrator for assistance.

Cannot Make or Receive Calls

• Verify that your network connection is active and stable.
• Check if the phone is successfully registered with your VoIP service. The display usually indicates registration status.
• Ensure the phone's firmware is up to date. Consult your system administrator for firmware update procedures.

Display Issues

• Try restarting the phone by disconnecting and reconnecting the power source.
