The power button on the Polycom VSX 5000 is located at the rear left of the unit. Once the Polycom is on and working, it may be kept powered on. It will go to sleep when idle. The mechanical shutter must be open (on the front of the camera unit).

• Turn on the Olevia LCD monitor display (if necessary).

The display may be turned on with the button at the lower right of the screen. Be sure to check the small on/off switch located at the rear right of the display. The front panel blue LED is lit when the monitor is OFF. The LCD monitor input should be set to “S-Video 1”.
