Using the Basic Features of Your Phone  
Logging Into Phones  
If your system administrator has set up the User Login feature, you can view  
your personal phone settings from any phone in the organization. This means  
you can access your contact directory and speed dials, as well as other phone  
settings, even as you temporarily change work areas.  
If you change any settings while you’re logged in to a phone, the settings are  
saved and displayed the next time you log in to a phone. When you log out,  
your personal phone settings no longer display.  
You can log in to a phone by entering your user ID and password. Default  
passwords are preset at the factory to the numerals 123.  
If a phone is in the logged out state and requires a user login, you may be able to  
use the phone to place emergency calls to standard emergency numbers (such as  
911) and other pre-configured phone numbers. These numbers are configured by  
your administrator. For information on how to place authorized calls, see “Placing  
Calls from Phones that are in the Logged Out State” on page 40.  
If the User Login feature is set up on your organization’s phones, you’ll need  
to know how to:  
Log in to a phone to access your personal phone settings.  
Log out of a phone after you finish using it.  
Place a call to an authorized number from a phone that is in the logged out  
state and requires a user login.  
Change your user password.  
Logging In and Out of a Phone  
Depending if the User Login feature is enabled and required, you may or may  
not have to log in to the phone to use it. However, if you want to see your  
personal phone settings from the phone, you’ll have to log in. If you don’t log  
in, you’ll see the phone’s default phone profile.  
While logged in, you’ll have full access to your personal phone settings and  
your contact directory. After you log out of the phone, you’ll no longer be able  
to view this information on the phone.  
After you use a phone, be certain to log out of the phone to prevent access to  
your personal settings.

Placing Calls from Phones that are in the Logged Out State  
If a phone doesn’t require a user login, you can use the phone to place calls to  
any number, even though the phone may be in the logged out state.  
If a phone requires a user login, you may be able to place calls to authorized  
numbers when the phone is in the logged out state. If your system  
administrator has set up emergency numbers on the phone, you can place calls  
to the standard emergency number (for example, 911) and up to five other  
authorized numbers. You won’t be able to call any other numbers until you log  
in to the phone.

Broadcasting Messages Using Push-to-Talk and Group  
Paging  
The Group Paging and Push-to-Talk (PTT) features enable you to broadcast a  
message to as many people as have subscribed to a channel or have been  
placed in a group. Your system administrator can set up both features on your  
phone.  
Group Paging mode enables you to broadcast a one-way announcement to  
people subscribed to a paging group. The people receiving the announcement  
can’t respond to the message.  
PTT mode enables you to broadcast a message to people subscribed to a  
channel. The people receiving the message can respond to the message by  
broadcasting a message over the same channel. In this way, PTT is a  
collaborative broadcast mode.  
Your system administrator can define up to 25 Paging Groups (for Group  
Paging mode) or Channels (for PTT mode). Your system administrator may  
assign a label to each group or channel that easily identifies the phones in the  
group or channel (for example, All, HR Dept, Shipping Staff, or Executives).  
Each group or channel will have one of the following priorities:  
Normal (for Groups/Channels 1-23)—Broadcasts sent to Groups/Channels 1  
to 23 are considered Normal broadcasts. When a phone receives more than one  
Normal broadcast, the first broadcast received is accepted, and all others are  
ignored (not played and not stored). By default, all phones receive broadcasts  
sent to Group/Channel 1.  
Priority (for Group/Channel 24)—Broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 24 are  
considered Priority broadcasts. All phones receive Priority broadcasts unless  
Do Not Disturb is enabled. If a phone receives a Priority broadcast while an  
Emergency broadcast is already playing, the Priority broadcast is placed on  
hold. Phones play Priority broadcasts at the phone’s current audio level.  
Emergency (for Group/Channel 25)—Broadcasts sent to Group/Channel 25  
are considered Emergency broadcasts. All phones receive Emergency  
broadcasts (even if Do Not Disturb is enabled), and play them immediately. By  
default, phones play Emergency broadcasts at the highest audio level. The  
audio level will return to normal for subsequent non-Emergency broadcasts.  
Push-to-Talk Mode  
Your phone may be enabled to operate in a broadcast mode called  
Push-to-Talk (PTT). In PTT mode, you broadcast messages on a specific  
channel. In order to send and receive PTT broadcasts on certain channels, you  
have to subscribe to those channels.  
PTT broadcasts are collaborative: you can transmit messages and listen to  
replies.

Using the Advanced Features of Your Phone  
Sending and Receiving PTT Broadcasts  
To send and receive PTT broadcasts, you need to subscribe to certain channels.  
By default, you’re subscribed to Channels 1, 24 (the Priority channel), and  
25 (the Emergency channel). This means that:  
You can send PTT broadcasts on Channels 1, 24, and 25.  
You’ll receive PTT broadcasts sent on Channels 1, 24, and 25.  
When you end a PTT broadcast, the channel remains open and enters a waiting  
period. This waiting period gives people who received the broadcast a chance  
to respond. If no one responds within the waiting period, the channel closes.  
Sending PTT Broadcasts  
If you send a PTT broadcast without specifying a channel, it’s automatically  
transmitted on the default channel. Channel 1 is the default channel that all  
broadcasts transmit on, if no channel is specified for a broadcast.  
You can change your default channel to any channel you want (see Updating  
the Default Channel on page 64). If you change your default channel, you’ll  
become subscribed to that channel automatically. To subscribe to a channel,  
To send a PTT broadcast:

From the PTT Channels List screen, select the channel to send the  
broadcast on (as shown next).  
The list displays the default channel, the most recent channel you sent a  
broadcast on, and other channels you can broadcast on.  
In the above example, the default channel is 1, the recent channel is 1, and  
the Emergency channel is 25.

To start the broadcast, press and hold the Talk soft key. (You need to  
press the Talk soft key throughout the entire broadcast.)  
You’ll hear a ‘transmitting’ beep, and then the phone displays the channel  
you are using (‘To:Teachers (Channel 18)’, as shown next).

Start talking.  
If you release the Talk soft key while you’re sending the broadcast, the broadcast  
temporarily stops and enters a 10 second ‘Waiting’ period. During this period, the  
channel remains open to give people a chance to reply. At any time during the  
waiting period, you can resume your broadcast by pressing and holding the Talk  
soft key. If no one broadcasts during the waiting period, the channel closes and the  
broadcast ends.  
5
When you finish your broadcast, do one of the following:  
Release the Talk soft key. The broadcast temporarily stops and enters  
a 10-second waiting period to allow others to reply, or you to resume  
the broadcast. If no one responds during a waiting period, the channel  
closes and the broadcast ends.  
Press the End PTT soft key. The broadcast temporarily stops and  
enters a 10-second waiting period to allow others to reply. If there are  
no replies, the channel closes and the braodcast ends. After you tap the  
End PTT soft key, you can immediately initiate another broadcast on  
another channel, even if the previous broadcast is still in its waiting  
period.

Receiving PTT Broadcasts  
To receive a broadcast sent on a particular channel, you need to be subscribed  
to that channel. To subscribe to a channel, see Updating Channel Subscriptions  
on page 65.  
How you receive a PTT broadcast depends on the broadcast priority, whether  
you’re in an active call, or if you’re allowed to receive broadcasts during active  
calls.  
You’ll receive broadcasts on the channels you’re subscribed to as well as  
Channel 24 (the Priority channel) and Channel 25 (the Emergency channel). If  
you’ve enabled Do Not Disturb on your phone, you’ll only receive Emergency  
broadcasts. Non-emergency broadcasts won’t display or play on your phone.  
When a broadcast ends, your phone emits an ‘end of transmission’ beep and  
enters a 10 second waiting period. During this period, you can respond to the  
broadcast (see Replying to PTT Broadcasts on page 63).  
Receiving PTT Broadcasts When You’re Not in an Active Call  
If you receive a broadcast and you’re not in an active call, the broadcast  
displays in the center of your screen and immediately plays, regardless of the  
broadcast priority.  
Receiving PTT Broadcasts During Active Calls  
How you handle a broadcast when you’re in an active call depends on the  
broadcast priority and if you’re allowed to receive a broadcast when you’re in  
an active call.

Replying to PTT Broadcasts  
When a broadcast ends, you have a chance to respond to it before the channel

(as shown next). During this period, the channel remains open to receive or  
send additional broadcasts.

During a waiting period, you can press and hold the Talk soft key and talk to  
all the people listening on the channel. When you finish talking, release the  
Talk soft key. The broadcast will enter another waiting period until someone  
broadcasts again. If no activity occurs within the waiting period, the channel  
closes and no more broadcasts can take place.  
Ending PTT Broadcasts  
You can end a PTT broadcast by releasing the Talk soft key, or by tapping the  
End PTT soft key. After you end a broadcast, the channel remains open so  
others can respond.  
If you release the Talk soft key without pressing the End PTT soft key:  
You can resume the broadcast by pressing and holding the Talk soft key  
(if the broadcast is in a wait period).  
You can’t initiate another broadcast on another channel until the waiting  
period ends.  
If you press the End PTT soft key:  
You can’t resume the broadcast by pressing and holding the Talk soft key.  
You can immediately initiate another broadcast on another channel.  
Adjusting the Volume of PTT Broadcasts  
You can adjust the volume of PTT broadcasts while they play. During a  
broadcast, press either Volume Up or Volume Down to raise or lower the  
volume of the broadcast.  
If you adjust the volume of a non-emergency broadcast, your phone retains the  
adjusted volume for all subsequent non-emergency broadcasts. However,  
even though you can adjust the volume of an Emergency broadcast, the  
adjusted volume won’t be retained for subsequent Emergency broadcasts. All  
Emergency broadcasts play at the same volume, until you adjust it.  
Changing Where Broadcasts are Played  
While you send a broadcast, you can pick up the handset or press the  
Speakerphone or the Headset key and continue speaking. You can also press  
the Microphone Mute key to mute your audio so that the people receiving  
your broadcast won’t hear anything. This behavior is similar to a phone call.

If enabled, a PTT broadcast will interrupt telephone calls and you’ll hear the  
audio of both the telephone call and the PTT broadcast. The party on the other  
end of the telephone call cannot hear the PTT broadcast unless that party has  
also enabled Accept While Busy.

Group Paging Mode  
Your phone may be enabled to operate in a broadcast mode called  
Group Paging mode. In this mode, you broadcast one-way announcements to  
a specified group of phones, called a Paging Group. In Group Paging mode,  
users must subscribe to Paging Groups to send and receive pages.  
Sending and Receiving Pages  
To send and receive pages, you need to subscribe to certain Paging Groups. By  
default, you’re subscribed to Paging Groups 1, 24, and 25. This means that:  
You can send pages to Paging Groups 1, 24, and 25.  
You’ll receive pages sent to Paging Groups 1, 24, and 25.  
Sending Pages  
By default, when you send a group page, it’s automatically sent to  
Paging Group 1. This is your default paging group.  
You can change your default paging group to any group you want (see  
Updating the Default Paging Group on page 69). If you change your default  
paging group, you’ll become subscribed to that paging group automatically.  
To subscribe to a paging group, see Updating Paging Group Subscriptions on  
page 69.

Polycom SoundPoint IP 450 User Guide  
To receive a page sent to a particular paging group, you need to be subscribed  
to that group. To subscribe to a paging group, see Updating Paging Group  
Subscriptions on page 69.  
How you receive a page depends on the priority of the page, whether you’re  
in an active call, or if you’re allowed to receive a page during an active call.  
You’ll receive pages on the paging groups you’re subscribed to as well as  
Group 24 (Priority pages) and Group 25 (Emergency pages). If you enabled  
Do Not Disturb, you’ll only receive Emergency pages. Non-emergency pages  
won’t display or play on your phone.  
Receiving Pages When You’re Not in an Active Call  
If you receive a page and you’re not in an active call, the page displays in the  
center of your screen and immediately plays, regardless of the paging priority.  
While a page plays, you can:  
Hold the page.  
End the page. This ends the page at your phone only.  
Place a new call.  
Receiving Pages During Active Calls  
How you handle a page when you’re in an active call depends on the page  
priority and if you’re allowed to receive a page when you’re in an active call.  
If the page isn’t a Priority or Emergency page:  
If your phone is allowed to receive pages during active calls, the page  
displays in the inactive call group as an active page and immediately  
plays. You’ll hear both the original call and the page. To hear only the  
page, hold or end the call.  
If your phone isn’t allowed to receive pages during active calls, the page  
displays in the inactive call group as a held page.  
To listen to the page, select the page appearance and press Accept soft key.  
The active call will be held.  
If it’s a Priority or Emergency page, the page displays in the inactive call group  
as an active page and immediately plays. You’ll hear both the original call and  
the page. To hear just the page, hold or end the call.  
Adjusting the Volume of Pages  
You can adjust the volume of pages while they play. During a page, press  
either Volume Up or Volume Down to raise or lower the page volume.  
If you adjust the volume of a non-emergency page, your phone will use the  
adjusted volume for subsequent non-emergency pages. However, if you  
adjust the volume of an Emergency page, your phone won’t use the adjusted  
volume for subsequent Emergency pages. All Emergency pages play at the  
same volume, until you adjust it.

Polycom SoundPoint IP450 VoIP Telephone PTC 220/08/077  
Special Conditions for the User Manual  
PTC General Warning  
1. The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted that the  
item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the  
product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item  
will work correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor  
does it imply that any product is compatible with all of Telecom's network services.  
The Use of IP Networks through the PSTN  
2. Internet Protocol (IP) by its nature introduces delay into speech signals as each data packet is formulated and  
addressed. Telecom Access Standards recommends that suppliers, designers and installers using this  
technology for calls to or from the PSTN refer to ITU E Model requirements in the design of their networks. The  
overall aim is to minimise delay, distortion and other transmission impairments, particularly for those calls  
involving cellular and international networks, which already suffer extensive delay.  
The Use of Voice Compression through the PSTN  
3. Because of the extensive delay already experienced when calling cellular and international networks, some of  
which is already caused by their use of voice compression technologies. Telecom Access Standards will only  
approve G711 voice technology for use on the PSTN. G711 is an 'Instantaneous Speech encoding Technique'  
whereas G729 and all its variants are considered 'Near Instantaneous' introducing additional delay into the  
speech signal.  
Echo cancellation  
4. Echo cancellers are not normally required in the Telecom PSTN because geographic delays are acceptable  
where CPE return loss is maintained within Telepermit limits. However, those private networks making use of  
Voice over IP technology are required to provide echo cancellation for all voice calls. The combined effect of  
audio / VoIP conversion delay and IP routing delay can cause the echo cancellation time of 64 mS to be  
required.  
Modification of this Polycom SoundPoint IP450 VoIP Telephone for the New Zealand network  
5. All samples of Polycom SoundPoint IP450 VoIP Telephones connected to the Telecom network shall be  
equipped with the following software Rev .5891. Equipped with this software batch the IP telephone is known  
to comply with PTC220 speech signal delay requirements. Failure to equip the telephone with this version of  
software when connected to a Telecom New Zealand network breaks the conditions of this Telepermit.  
Australia  
WARNING ALL SOUNDPOINT IP PHONES  
With respect to section 5.4.3.11 of the Australian Communications Authority as Telecommunications Technical  
Standard AS/ACIF S004 2006:  
You should be aware that, under certain operating conditions, the handset earpiece may retain small metallic
