Time and Date Display
The phone maintains a local clock and calendar. Time and date can be
displayed in certain operating modes such as when the phone is idle and
during a call. The clock and calendar must be synchronized to a remote Simple
Network Time Protocol (SNTP) timeserver. The time and date displayed on
the phone will flash continuously to indicate that they are not accurate until a
successful SNTP response is received. The time and date display can use one
of several different formats and can be turned off.
For instructions on turning off the time and date display, refer to Polycom
VVX 1500 D Display on page 3-2.
Note
AC power adapters are not included in the basic phone package. Using the
supplied network cable, the phone can be powered from a Power over Ethernet
(PoE) compliant switch or hub. Power over Ethernet is the default connection for
the phone.
