About This Guide
This guide applies to two phones: the Polycom® VVX® 500 Business Media Phone and the
Polycom® VVX® 600 Business Media Phone. You can use this guide if you have either phone.
This user guide will help you to navigate and use your VVX 500 or VVX 600 phone. It will give you an
overview of your phone, and walk you through tasks so you can successfully use your phone to perform
basic and advanced phone functions.
You’ll also find information in this guide about how to use the Polycom® VVX® Camera—an accessory
that you can attach to either the VVX 500 or VVX 600 phone so you can send video during video calls.
You can find information about using video on your phone, as well as using a VVX Camera, in Chapter 3,
Using Video and the Polycom VVX Camera.
Note: Unless Noted, the Information in this Guide Applies to Both Phones
As you read this guide, the terms the phone and your phone refer to either the VVX 500 or
VVX 600 phone. Unless specifically noted in this guide—especially with regard to phone
graphics—both phones operate in the same way and the information in this guide applies to both
phones.
