First Time Phone Use

When you turn on the phone for the first time, you will be asked to:

1.

Select the language. If the language you want does not appear on-screen, scroll to find the correct language and

press

Select

to confirm.

2.

Review the agreement. Use the navigation button to move up or down. Read the agreement and press

Accept

to

proceed.

3.

Set your country code. For the phone to work correctly according to your country’s standards, you must use the

code for the country you are calling from.

For example, the U.S. and Canada use the country code of 1. If you don’t

know your Country’s code, see “Appendix A, Troubleshooting” for a list. Press Clear to make a correction. Press

Enter

to confirm the country code.

4.

Set your area code. To be able to return local, national or international calls received on the Landline, you must set

your area code. Your phone will update the information and reset itself. If your country does not use area codes,

leave this field blank.

5.

Create a Skype Account or sign in to your existing Skype Account. Each Skype account has a unique Skype Name

with a password. If your Skype Name is the same as another Skype user, it will not be accepted. Your existing

Skype Name needs to be at least 6 characters and can be any combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Your

password needs to be at least 4 characters. This password is different from the system PIN of the phone. Each

phone user can have their own Skype account.

Registering the Handset

To make calls the handset must be registered to the base unit. This is preset. However, if you bought an extra

handset or de-registered a handset, you may see the message

Unregistered

on the phone’s LCD screen. To

register the handset when the Unregistered message has displayed:

1.

Press

Reg

.

2.

Press the middle button (PAGE) on the base station. When you release it, the lights will flash.

3.

If asked, enter the System PIN (default: 0000). Use

Clear

to make a correction.

4.

Press

OK

to confirm. The handset will start searching for the base station.

5.

After successful registration, the signal strength icon will display steadily on the handset screen. If

registration failed, repeat these steps.

Checking the Signal Strength

The signal icon displays the link status between the handset and base station. If the signal icon displays, the

handset and base station are communicating and calls can be made and received.

If you don’t see the Signal Strength icon, you may be too far from the base station. Move the handset closer to

the base station. If you are on a call and losing signal strength, you will hear warning tones, which gives you

time to move the handset and base station closer together.

NOTE:

Your base station can register up to 4 handsets. When 4 handsets are registered, the base

station memory becomes full and no further handsets can be registered to that base station.

Staying within Range

If you move outside of the base station’s range during a call, an alarm tone will sound and the Base/Handset Link

icon will flash on the handset’s display screen. Your call will be disconnected if you do not move back within

range.

Congratulations! The installation of the Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit is complete.
