Troubleshooting
- The remote isn't working- Sometimes the remote control stops working. There are two things you can try to correct this issue:
- Turn down or off the room lights, sometimes the room lights interfere with the signal from the remote. After the call is setup, you can turn the room lights back up.
- The system needs to be power cycled. Simply flip off the surge protector to the right of the table for 5 seconds, then flip it back on. Then turn on the Polycom again and the remote should be functional.
