Waking a Machine in Sleep Mode
When an Omni-Series machine is in sleep mode, the screen appears blank
(black). While you can manually put a machine into sleep mode, it is not
recommended as the machines automatically go into sleep mode after a
period of inactivity. To wake a machine from sleep mode, simply press any
button on the LifeSize remote.
While you cannot see anything when your machine is in sleep
mode, a person calling you will still have the ability to see and hear
you. That’s why it’s so important to keep confidentiality in mind
when using an Omni-Series machine. See Page 26 for details.
When you wake a machine from sleep mode, it takes a few
seconds for the machine to wake up.
When the machine wakes up from sleep mode, it will be in the
mode it was in the last time it was awake (DVI, HDMI, etc.).
When you wake the Omni-Station from sleep mode, it will always
be in DVI mode, as it does not have an HDMI mode.
If you’re not sure what mode the machine is in after waking it, press
the
Info i
button.
Calling Someone as Voice Only
There are two ways to call another Omni-Series machine as voice only,
meaning that you will be able to hear the callee, but you will not be able
to see them. Instead, you’ll see a blank screen. However, the callee will
be able to both see and hear you. The option you use to call someone as
voice only depends on the call option you select.
FAVORITES/RECENTS
If you call another machine using the Favorites or Recents option, then the
only option you’ll see when you’re ready to make the call is
Dial Now
,
which is the option that will automatically dial as video. To dial as voice
only, follow the steps on the next page.
