Topics:
▪RealPresence Group System Power
This user guide is intended for beginner users, as well as intermediate and advanced users who want to
learn about video conferencing and the Polycom® RealPresence® Group Series system .
For detailed information on the available systems and bundles, as well as the most recent feature
descriptions, refer to the Polycom RealPresence Group Series Release Notes available at
support.polycom.com.
Note: Your system administrator can configure RealPresence Group Series systems and RealPresence
Touch devices to show only those options used in your organization. Therefore, this guide might
cover options that you cannot access on your system. Check with your system administrator to
find out more about the options set for your system.
RealPresence Group System Power
RealPresence Group Series systems have a power proximity sensor instead of a physical power button.
Instead of pressing an actual button that moves to power on the system, you can touch the proximity
sensor , or touch near it, on the front of the system.
Power On the System
Before powering on your system, make sure you connect any essential wired devices or accessories to
the system first. After you have connected the related equipment, power on the system.
Procedure
1. Do one of the following:
▪ On RealPresence Group 300, 310, 500, and 700 systems, touch and hold the power
sensor on the front of the system. Because the power sensor is touch sensitive, you can
place your finger on or close to the sensor.
▪ Press and hold on the remote control.
When the system is powered on successfully, the LED on the front panel turns blue and the
Polycom splash screen displays.
System Health Check
After the system is powered on, the system automatically performs a system health check, which is
known as a power on self test (POST).
Polycom, Inc. 3

The status of the POST sequence is shown using the LED indicator light on the front of the device, or in
the text field display on the front of the system. For more information about what the colors of the
indicator lights mean, contact your administrator.
All test results are logged in the system memory. When the test sequence completes with no severe
errors, the system starts normally.
Power Off a RealPresence Group System
Before changing any connected accessories, you need to power off the RealPresence Group system.
Procedure
1. Do one of the following:
▪ Touch and hold the power sensor on the front of the system.
▪ Press and hold on the remote control.
The indicator light changes color and blinks when the system is shutting down.
