Set up your system using Poly Lens software. Use the Poly Lens Desktop App or the Poly Lens Room App, depending on your deployment. Poly Lens Room App: Use this option if you're connecting Poly Studio V12 to a Windows-based Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms conferencing PC. For more information, review the Poly Lens Room User Guide. Poly Lens Desktop App: Use this option if you're connecting Poly Studio V12 directly to your Windows computer.

Setting up Poly Studio V12 7 Powering your Poly Studio V12 device on and off The Poly Studio V12 system doesn't have a power button. When you connect the device to power, the device turns on. You can power your Poly Studio V12 in two ways: Use the optional Poly PoE++ 65 W 2.5G adapter (B5NH6AA) or a PoE++ Ethernet switch capable of providing 65 W. Use the optional Poly USB Type-C power adapter (B92SVAA). Poly recommends the following when powering off or restarting your system: Don't restart or power off the system during maintenance activities (for example, while a software update is in progress). If a restart is necessary, restart the device using Poly Lens. If possible, avoid removing and replacing power to restart the system. Set up Poly Studio V12 using Poly Lens Connect your Poly Studio V12 system to a Windows computer with Poly Lens desktop application installed and complete the out of box setup procedure. 1. Connect the supplied USB cable from the USB Type-C port on the Poly Studio V12 system to your computer. 2. Power your Poly Studio V12 system, using one of the following options: Use the optional Poly PoE++ 65 W 2.5G adapter (B5NH6AA) or a PoE++ Ethernet switch capable of providing 65 W. NOTE: Poly Studio V12 requires 65 W to function properly. If you connect the camera to an underpowered PoE injector or Ethernet switch, the system LED blinks red. Use the optional Poly USB Type-C power adapter (B92SVAA). NOTE: If you connect the video bar to a Windows PC without Poly Lens or Poly Lens Room installed and an update is available through Windows Update, the Poly Studio V12 system updates automatically when powered on. During the system update, the LED pulses amber. Don't remove the USB cable between the camera and the computer during this process. Once the software updates, you can continue with system setup. 3. Optional: To onboard your device to Lens using Ethernet, connect the Poly Studio V12 system to your network using an Ethernet cable. Connecting the system to your network is optional and only required if you plan to onboard your system to Poly Lens Cloud. 8 Chapter 3 Setting up Poly Studio V12 Initialize your device using the setup wizard Use the setup wizard to set up your device for the first time or after a factory reset.

On a Microsoft Windows computer, Windows Update automatically updates the firmware on your device unless Poly Lens Desktop or Poly Lens Room is installed on the computer. MacOS doesn't provide firmware updates to the device using the built-in update service. On a MacOS computer, use Poly Lens Cloud to update the firmware. For more information on updating your device, review the Poly Lens Desktop App User Guide . Connect the device to a PC to update the firmware If a firmware update is available for your device, connect it to a Windows computer and use Windows Update to update the firmware.

Updating firmware 23 6 Troubleshooting Use the following topics to help you diagnose and fix problems while using your Poly Studio V12 system. Microphone picking up noise If participants on the far side report hearing audible noise from your microphone, open your conferencing application settings and verify that Poly Studio V12 is selected as the microphone. Connecting your Poly Studio V12 system to your computer may not set it as the default microphone for your system. After verifying that the Poly Studio V12 is selected as your microphone, open Poly Lens Desktop and set NoiseBlock AI to NoiseBlockAI v2. Can't use device's camera or audio Your conferencing application isn't using the video system's camera or audio in Device Mode. There could be a few reasons for these types of problems. For instance, your conferencing application by default may choose the connected monitor speakers instead of your Poly device speakers. You may notice the following when connecting the device to your computer: In your laptop's conferencing application, you can't select the video system as a camera or audio source. The video system's camera and audio seem unavailable. The video system's camera doesn't display live video. Follow these steps until you fix your problem: 1. In your conferencing application, select the video system as your speaker, microphone, and camera device. 2.
