You can also use the provided Computer 
Calling Cable with the VoiceStation™ 
500’s 2.5mm audio jack.  The Computer 
Calling Cable allows you to make calls 
over the Internet using the VoiceStation™ 
500.  This feature enables you to combine 
the convenience of Internet phone calls 
via applications such as Skype, AIM, 
MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and 
corporate IP softphones, with the audio 
quality of Polycom’s legendary conference 
phones.  Simply plug the Computer Call-
ing Cable into your VoiceStation™ 500 
on one end, and then connect the cable to 
the sound card connectors on your desktop 
computer or laptop.  

When in POTS mode, inserting a 2.5mm 
cable enables Wired Audio Mode.  To 
enter Wired Audio Mode, press the Mode 
button.  The amber link indicator will 
come on.  It is possible to make/answer 
Bluetooth and POTS calls when in Wired 
Audio Mode.  For more information, refer 
to ‘Changing between calls in Wired Audio 
Mode’ on Page 15.

When you are in active Wired Audio Mode 
it is possible to receive an incoming POTS 
call.  To pick up an incoming POTS call 

you simply press the On/Off button and the 
link indicator will turn off.  This indicates 
that you are now in POTS mode.  As soon 
as you are done with your POTS call, you 
can press the Mode button again so that the 
amber link indicator appears, and you are 
now back in Wired Audio mode.
