Quick Start Guide
Introduction:
The VVX D230 DECT Phone is an IP based cordless 
phone that you can use to manage calls to your line at 
any time while you’re away from your desk. 
Phone Basics:
The VVX D230 consists of a base station (shown at left) 
and one or more handsets. Up to 8 handsets can 
connect with a single base station.
The base station acts as a 
charger for one phone. 
Additional handsets are supplied 
with their own charger.
Each handset has its own 
extension number and each 
operates independently of the 
others. 
The handset has an earpiece at 
the top, just below the Poly logo. 
The microphone is at the 
opposite end, just above the 
bottom of the phone. 
A large color display offers easily 
read information. When idle, the 
date/time (and/or extension 
number) display. 
Icons at the top left and top right 
show the phone’s signal strength 
and battery status. A number 
next to the battery icon identifies 
the handset. 
Two buttons immediately below 
the display are used as multi-
purpose “soft” keys. 
A 4-way keypad with a center “OK” button is 
used to navigate the phone’s menu system.
