Near Field Communication (NFC)-Assisted
Bluetooth
The Polycom Trio 8800 and 8500 systems support Bluetooth.
Only the Polycom Trio 8800 supports near-field communication (NFC)-assisted Bluetooth pairing. This
feature is disabled by default.
When you enable Bluetooth, users can connect a Bluetooth-capable device, such as a mobile phone, tablet,
or laptop to the Polycom Trio system. You can make calls from the connected device and play audio from
calls, video, or music from the Polycom Trio system speaker. Note you can connect one device at a time to
the Polycom Trio system via Bluetooth. You cannot connect via Bluetooth during an active call. The Polycom
Trio 8800 conference phone can remember up to 10 previously paired devices.
When NFC is enabled on the Polycom Trio 8800 system and you connect a personal device to the Polycom
Trio 8800, the NFC logo displays on the device screen. When your device is connected over Bluetooth
during an audio or a video call, you can use the Polycom Trio system microphones for audio instead of the
microphone(s) of your connected device.
