The Polycom VoiceStation 500 is a small Bluetooth-enabled conference 
phone ideally suited for desktops, offices, and other small rooms. With a 
microphone range of up to seven feet, the VoiceStation 500 is perfect for 
small conferences with three to four participants. Plus its compact industrial  
design fits well on a desk or small table, making it a great solution for offices. 
With the VoiceStation 500, you can enjoy Polycom’s legendary voice quality at 
an affordable price.
Use your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone to connect wirelessly to the 
VoiceStation 500 for hands-free voice conferencing. It can also connect to a 
Bluetooth-enabled computer for high-quality hands-free conferencing over 
Internet calling services such as Skype. If your mobile phone or computer is 
not Bluetooth-enabled, simply use the integrated 2.5mm applications port for 
wired connections.
Featuring Polycom’s award-winning Acoustic Clarity Technology, the 
VoiceStation 500 delivers significantly improved voice quality over the 
previous-generation VoiceStation 100. The VoiceStation 500 features three
sensitive microphones that offer 360-degree room coverage. Smart  
technology, such as Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR), provides maximum 
microphone sensitivity, while reducing  distracting room and background
noise. It also features technology that resists interference from mobile 
phones and other wireless devices, delivering clear communications with no 
distractions. Plus, Polycom’s legendary full-duplex technology ensures that 
everyone on the call can be heard.
Convenient controls for Bluetooth, volume adjustment, mute, redial, flash 
and hold are located on an intuitive, easy-to-use keypad. When dialing over 
regular phone lines, a handset phone can be plugged in for private calls,
or simply switch back to the VoiceStation 500 for hands-free conversations.
