Troubleshooting
How do I know Calisto 610 is turned on?
Pressing the volume +/- buttons while the unit is ON emits a volume adjustment tone.
Is there a visual indicator on the Calisto 610 that shows the volume level?
No. There is no visual indication of volume level or volume adjustments on the Calisto 610. NOTE The Calisto 610 has a mid-range default volume setting. It provides audible indications as you adjust the volume and when you have reached the maximum or minimum volume level.
What size room and how many participants does Calisto 610 support for group conference calls?
There are 2 variables to consider for this answer, and both involve the perceived audio by 8 listeners on the other (far) end of a Calisto 610 call:
- The acoustic properties of the room: Not all rooms are created equal, and room acoustics can vary significantly.
- The subjective opinion (or hearing abilities) of the far-end listener(s) can also vary significantly With these variables considered, in general, Calisto 610 can be used in up to a 12×12 foot room with up to 8 participants.
