BATTERIES

•

Use only the battery type listed in the instruction manual. Do not use lithium batteries or non-

rechargeable batteries that may damage the handset and charger.

•

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire, as they can explode.

•

Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and can cause damage to the eyes

or skin. It can be toxic if swallowed.

•

Avoid contact with metal objects when handling the battery. These objects could short out the batteries

or cause the conductor to overheat resulting in burns.

•

Do not attempt to recharge the battery cell by heating it. Sudden release of battery electrolyte can cause

burns or irritation to the eyes or skin.

•

Observe the proper polarity, or direction, of any battery. Reverse insertion of the battery cell can result in

leakage or explosion.

•

Remove the battery cells if you do not plan to use the product for several months at a time.

•

Discard any “dead” batteries because they are likely to leak into the product.

•

Do not store this product or the battery in a high temperature area. Battery stored in a freezer or

refrigerator should be protected from condensation during storage and defrosting. Battery should be

stabilized at room temperature before using.

•

Your battery is rechargeable and can be recycled once it outlives its usefulness. Depending upon your

local and state law, it might be illegal to dispose of this battery into a municipal waste system. Check

with your local solid waste company for more information on your recycling options for the battery cells.

Welcome

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit with Skype. It will allow you to make phone

calls using your broadband connection (through Skype™) and traditional phone service (optional). It also

supports SkypeOut™ dialing. For landline service, you must have a service provider and a telephone port to

connect to.

The Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit gives you cordless convenience, so you don't have to sit in front of your

computer when you want to talk to your friends. It comes with a handset, charger, and a base station. After the

handset receives its initial charge, you can plug the base station into an Ethernet port and use the phone

immediately.

What is Skype?

offers additional features, including:

SkypeOut

SkypeOut allows you to place calls to traditional landline and mobile phones.

SkypeIn

™

receiving Skype calls on your cordless phone from traditional landlines and mobile phones.

Skype Voicemail
