Daisy Chain Mode

You can connect two conference phones using a Smart Adapter and the USB-C cables that are provided in
the daisy chain kit to expand the audio coverage area in a room.
In daisy chain mode, both units receive power though the Smart Adapter which is connected to a power
adapter. You can use only one external microphone per unit. You can use either a pair of wired microphones
with the units or a pair of wireless microphones with the units, but not a mixed combination of the microphones.
When a wired microphone is connected to one of the units, it unpairs any wireless microphones that are
connected to the same unit. Whenever there is an active call, the LEDs and the menu options on the phone
screen of both units are synchronized.
