Muting Your Microphones
If you want to speak privately to someone at your site during your video-
conference, you can mute your microphones so the people at the other site canÕt
hear you.
To mute your microphones:
Press MUTE on the keypad or the LAMB .
Mute: Near End appears on your screen.
When you Þnish your private conversation, press MUTE again to return to sending
sound to the far-end site.
For ideas on how to use muting more effectively, see ÒTips for MutingÓ on page 9.
Adjusting the Volume
If the sound you hear from the far-end site is either too faint or too loud, you can
adjust it by using the
VOLUME button on the keypad .
To increase or decrease the volume:
Press VOLUME on your keypad until the sound you hear is acceptable.
The VOLUME button doesnÕt control the volume for your systemÕs sound effects,
such as the ring, dial tone, and error beep.
T I P In general, do not use the volume buttons on your monitor to
adjust the sound because this may interfere with your ability to
adjust the volume with the keypad. Leave the monitorÕs volume
level set to the middle position.
