Poly OBI USB WiFi Adapter - User Manual

The Poly USB OBI WiFi Adapter connects compatible Poly phones to the internet without additional

may be difficult to have a hardwired line.

1. Poly USB OBI WiFi Adapter
2. Compatible Poly VVX (USB compatible) phone with power cord
3. Local WiFi network name
4. Local WiFi network passcode
