Indicator Status 

VPM220W Work Status 

The charging status indicator is blue and is 

in breathing state. 

The VPM220W is being recharged. 

The charging status indicator is steady 

blue. 

The VPM220W is fully charged. 

The charging status indicator is off. 

 

The VPM220W is not placed on the 

charger base. 

 

The VPM200W's power adapter is not 

connected to an AC power supply. 

 

2.7 Switching the Work Mode 

The VPM220W supports two work modes: active mode and sleep mode. Active mode is when 

the VPM220W is operating normally. 
When the VPM220W is connected to a videoconferencing endpoint over Wi-Fi, the 

videoconferencing endpoint can send a sleep instruction to the VPM220W. Upon receiving 

the sleep instruction, the VPM220W enters the sleep mode and stops collecting and sending 

audio data, all the three microphone indicators are blue on and off gradually. 
You can wake the VPM220W in either of the following two ways: 

 

Send a wakeup instruction to the VPM220W on the videoconferencing endpoint. 

 

Press the 

  button on top of the VPM220W. 

When the VPM220W wakes up, the VPM220W starts to collect and send audio data. All three 

microphone indicators restore their previous status. 

2.8 Checking the Volume 

You are advised to check the volume in the following scenarios: 

 

After the VPM220W installation 

 

Before a conference 

 

During a conference 

The volume is checked and adjusted on the videoconferencing endpoint. For details about 

how to adjust the volume, see the user guide for the videoconferencing endpoint. 

2.9 Charging the VPM220W 

You can recharge the VPM220W using the charger base. 
Place the VPM220W on the charger base and use the USB cable to connect the charger base 

to a power adapter or a computer's USB port.
