Changing your view
Your unit is set up for Dual Emulation. You have several choices on how you view your
video display. Pushing the Picture-in-Picture (PIP) button will allow you to scroll through
the different views.
Adjusting Volume:
Use the remote control to raise or lower the volume of the sound you hear. Changing the
volume affects only the sound you hear at your site. You cannot adjust your outgoing
audio. If the other sites have turned up their volume and your audio level is low, check
the placement of your microphones
To adjust the volume:
Press Volume.
Muting the Microphone:
It is important to mute the local audio during a conference to prevent interrupting the

sites in the conference will see your location if someone speaks, coughs or rustles paper if
your audio is unmuted.
To mute or unmute the microphone:
Press Mute on the remote control.
Note: If you see Near on your screen, your microphone is muted. To unmute your microphone, press

different type of content or video source if you need to. Participants at other sites can also

screen.
