Polycom Soundpoint Pro SE225 Conference Phone

Seamlessly combining switchable headset and handset telephone functionality with perfectly audible hands-free conferencing, the Polycom SoundPoint Pro SE225 is a small business phone engineered for the small or home office.

The SoundPoint Pro SE225 enables up to three users at the same time and also features full- duplex technology, which allows more than one person to communicate at the same time. But this is more than just a good feature. Utilising conference phones like this cuts out meetings which saves you travel time and perhaps more importantly in today’s economic climate, travel expenses.

Polycom SoundPoint Pro SE225 Features

The Soundpoint Pro phone comes with a standard 99 numbers speed dial incoming and outgoing functionality, which means past call information is readily accessible. The front and rear facing microphones enable personal use as well as 360-degree coverage in group conferencing situations. The SoundPoint Pro’s versatility allows the connection of an optional headset for high quality hands-free usage. Callers can speak naturally and comfortably, eliminating the need for wires.

The Polycom SoundPoint Pro SE225 is easy to install and fits directly into a power outlet and standard analogue telephone jack.

In addition, it is easy to use; the business phone has its buttons and controls, like alphanumeric, flash, mute, volume etc, conveniently located to suit any user. Also, the speaker volume of the SoundPoint Pro SE225 can be adjusted to 81 db at 1/5 metre peak volume.

The SoundPoint Pro SE225 is an upgrade from the Polycom SoundPoint Pro 220, with the device now boasting a 99-entry phone book and an LCD display that shows numbers dialled, length of call and other useful information. This high-tech conference phone also features distinctive rings for each line, an LED indicator, an FSK and an expanded PBX message waiting indicator.

Polycom’s SoundPoint Pro SE225 also has a non-volatile RAM which protects stored information in the event of a power loss. A keypad activated rear microphone ensures maximum room coverage coupled with a four-way memory enabled independent volume control.

With a built in clock, the SoundPoint Pro SE225 also has call hold, call waiting and caller ID functions. Callers can take advantage of its one-touch speed dial and search/sort speed dialling.

Please be aware that recently added by Polycom is an addendum regarding the CLi functionality of the unit. This highlights the fact that this feature is only suitable for use with UK telephone systems with CLi functionality embedded into them, or where CLi is a line feature supplied by the comms provider. All other specifications stay the same.
