 Handling conference calls with video

Getting Started

Before you attach your VVX Camera, it’s a good idea to perform a couple preliminary steps to confirm

your camera can work with your phone. It will also be useful for you to familiarize yourself with the

camera’s various LED indicators and messages and learn what they mean.

First Steps

Before you start using your camera, make sure your phone has the correct software version to work

with the camera. You can check your phone’s software version by tapping Settings from Home view, and

then tapping Status > Platform > Application > Main. Make sure the software version listed next to

‘Version’ is 4.1.3.xxxx or later. You’ll also want to check with your system administrator that your phone

is enabled to handle video calls.

If your phone has the correct software version and is video-enabled, attach the VVX Camera to the USB

port on the top of your phone.
