About This Guide  
This guide applies to two phones: the Polycom® VVX® 300 and 310 business media phones.  
You can use this guide if you have either phone.

phone’s features.

Broadcasting Messages Using Push-to-Talk and Group  
Paging  
The Group Paging feature enables you to make pages—one-way audio announcements—to  
users subscribed to a page group. The Push-to-Talk (PTT) feature is a collaborative tool that  
enables you to exchange broadcasts to users subscribed to a PTT channel, much like a walkie-  
talkie. Your system administrator can set up both features on your phone.  
Your system administrator can define up to 25 paging groups for Group Paging mode or  
Channels for PTT mode. Your system administrator may assign a label to each group or  
channel that easily identifies the phones in the group or channel, such as All, HR Dept, Shipping  
Staff, or Executives. Each group or channel will have one of the following priorities:  
50  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
Chapter 3: Using Advanced Features  
Normal By default, broadcasts sent to Groups/Channels 1 to 23 are considered Normal  
broadcasts. If two users begin a broadcast on the same group/channel at the same time, the  
phone with the lower serial number will continue to transmit while the other phone will enter the  
receiving state. By default, all phones are configured to receive broadcasts sent to  
Group/Channel 1.  
Priority By default, broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 24 are considered Priority broadcasts.  
A Priority broadcast will interrupt Normal broadcasts or active calls. All phones receive Priority  
broadcasts unless Do Not Disturb is enabled. Phones play Priority broadcasts at the phone’s  
current audio level.  
Emergency By default, broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 25 are considered Emergency  
broadcasts. An Emergency broadcast will interrupt Normal broadcasts, Priority broadcasts, and  
active calls and plays out at near maximum volume even if Do Not Disturb is turned on.  
Push-to-Talk Mode  
Your system administrator can enable your phone to operate in a broadcast mode called Push-  
to-Talk (PTT). In order to send and receive PTT broadcasts, you have to subscribe to PTT  
channels.  
PTT broadcasts are collaborative: you can transmit messages and listen to replies.  
Sending and Receiving PTT Broadcasts  
By default, you’re subscribed to Channels 1, 24, and 25. This means that you can send and  
receive PTT broadcasts on Channels 1, 24, and 25.  
When you end a PTT broadcast, the channel remains open and enters a waiting period. This  
waiting period gives people who received the broadcast a chance to respond. If no one  
responds within the waiting period, the channel closes.  
Sending PTT Broadcasts  
Before you can send a PTT broadcast, you need to choose a channel to broadcast on. Or, you  
can hold the Talk soft key to immediately begin broadcasting on Channel 1, the default channel.  
You can change your default channel to any channel you want (see Updating the Default  
Channel). When you change the default channel, you’re automatically subscribed to it.  
To send a PTT broadcast:  
1 From Lines view, press Talk and hold.

2 From the PTT Channels List screen, select the channel to send the broadcast on.  
The list displays the default channel, the most recent channel you sent a broadcast on,  
and other channels you can broadcast on.  
3 To start the broadcast, press and hold Talk. Be sure to press Talk throughout the entire  
broadcast.  
You’ll hear a ‘transmitting’ beep, and then the phone will display the channel information  
such as the channel label.  
4 Begin speaking.  
Note: What Happens if I Release Talk During A Broadcast?  
If you release Talk while you’re sending the broadcast, the broadcast temporarily stops  
and enters a 10 second waiting period. During this period, the channel remains open to  
give people a chance to reply. At any time during the waiting period, you can resume your  
broadcast by pressing and holding Talk. If no one broadcasts during the waiting period,  
the channel closes and the broadcast ends.  
5 When you finish your broadcast, do one of the following:  
Release Talk.  
or  
Press End PTT.  
After you press End PTT , you can immediately initiate another broadcast on another  
channel, even if the previous broadcast is still in its waiting period.  
Receiving PTT Broadcasts  
To receive a broadcast sent on a particular channel, you need to be subscribed to that channel.  
To subscribe to a channel, see Updating Channel Subscriptions.  
How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether you’re in an  
active call, or if you’re allowed to receive broadcasts during active calls.  
You’ll receive broadcasts on the channels you’re subscribed to as well as Channel 24 (the  
Priority channel) and Channel 25 (the Emergency channel). If you’ve enabled Do Not Disturb  
on your phone, you’ll only receive Emergency broadcasts. Non-emergency broadcasts won’t  
display or play on your phone.  
When a broadcast ends, your phone emits an end of transmission beep and enters a 10 second  
waiting period. During this period, you can respond to the broadcast (see Replying to PTT

If you receive a broadcast and you’re not in an active call, the broadcast immediately plays,  
regardless of the broadcast priority.  
Receiving PTT Broadcasts During Active Calls  
How you handle a broadcast when you’re in an active call depends on the broadcast priority and  
if you’re allowed to receive a broadcast when you’re in an active call.  
If the broadcast is a Normal broadcast:  
If your phone is set to receive broadcasts during active calls, the broadcast immediately  
plays. You’ll hear both the original call and the broadcast. To listen to only the broadcast,  
hold or end the call.  
If your phone isn’t allowed to receive broadcasts during active calls, the broadcast  
displays as a Pending broadcast. To listen to the broadcast, hold or end the call, or select  
the broadcast, and press Accept.  
If the broadcast is a Priority or Emergency broadcast, the broadcast immediately plays. You’ll  
hear both the original call and the broadcast. To listen to only the broadcast, hold or end the  
call.  
Replying to PTT Broadcasts  
When a broadcast ends, the broadcast enters a 10 second waiting period. During this period,  
the channel remains open to receive or send additional broadcasts.  
During a waiting period, you can press and hold Talk and talk to all the people listening on the  
channel. When you finish talking, release Talk. The broadcast will enter another waiting period  
until someone broadcasts again. If no activity occurs within the waiting period, the channel  
closes and no more broadcasts can take place.  
Ending PTT Broadcasts  
You can end a PTT broadcast by releasing Talk, or by pressing End PTT. After you end a  
broadcast, the channel remains open so others can respond.  
If you release Talk without pressing End PTT:  
You can resume the broadcast by pressing and holding Talk, if the broadcast is in a wait  
period.  
You can’t initiate another broadcast on another channel until the waiting period ends.  
If you press End PTT:  
You can’t resume the broadcast by pressing and holding Talk.  
You can immediately initiate another broadcast on another channel.

Changing the Backlight  
Your phone’s backlight has two components:  
Backlight Intensity The brightness of the screen during phone activity and inactivity.  
Backlight intensity has three settings:  
Backlight On The brightness of the screen when there is phone activity.  
Backlight Idle The brightness of the screen when there is no phone activity.  
Maximum Intensity The brightness scale that applies to both Backlight On and  
Backlight Idle intensities.  
Backlight Timeout—The number of seconds the phone is inactive before the backlight  
dims to its Backlight Idle intensity. The backlight timeout period begins after your last key  
press or the last phone event, such as an incoming call.  
You can change the Backlight On intensity and the Backlight Idle intensity separately. You can  
choose a high, medium, or low intensity, or turn off the backlight entirely.  
When you change the Maximum Intensity, you modify the entire backlight intensity scale. For  
example, if you decrease the Maximum Intensity, the low, medium, and high levels for both  
Backlight On and Backlight Idle intensities decrease.  
The backlight automatically turns on with any phone activity. By setting the Backlight Timeout,  
you can determine how long the phone should be idle before the backlight dims to its Backlight  
Idle intensity. By default, after the phone is idle for 40 seconds, the backlight dims.

Special Conditions for this User Guide  
PTC General Warning  
The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that  
Telecom has accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection  
to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it  
provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work  
correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different  
make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of Telecom’s  
network services.  
Echo Cancellation  
Echo cancellers are not normally required in the Telecom PSTN because geographic  
delays are acceptable where CPE return loss is maintained within Telepermit  
limits. However, those private networks making use of Voice over IP technology are  
required to provide echo cancellation for all voice calls. The combined effect of audio /  
VoIP conversion delay and IP routing delay can cause the echo cancellation time of 64  
mS or more to be required.  
Software Version in this Polycom VVX 300 and 310 VoIP Desktop Telephone When  
Used on the Telecom Network  
This telephone must be equipped with the software installed during the PTC testing  
(version 6.4.1.0008) for compliance to be guaranteed.
