Setting up the Handset
The first time you use the handset, you must set it up. To set up the handset, follow these steps:
1. Remove the handset from the charger.
The handset displays set up questions.
2. Use the arrow buttons to scroll, and press Select to confirm. For numbers, press Clear to make
corrections. Press OK when you are done.
• Language. Select the language.
• Agreement. Read the entire Skype agreement and accept it.
• Country code. This is the international calling code for your country (for example, 1 for
US, 44 for UK, or 33 for France).
• Area code. You need this to return local, national, or international calls received on the
landline.
3. Your phone resets and updates itself. It powers up automatically after a few seconds.
Signing In to Skype
After the phone resets itself, it powers up and links to the base unit. If the phone does not find the
base unit, see
“Linking to the Base Unit” on page 2-6 . The phone shows the Sign In display.
Follow these steps:
1. Sign in to Skype, or create a new Skype Name if you do not
have one. (See “Creating a Skype Name and Password” on
page 2-5 .)
If you have Skype contacts, they are downloaded to your
phone. Depending on Internet traffic and the number of
contacts, this can take several minutes.
2. If you want the phone to automatically sign you in, select
Yes for Automatic Sign In.
3. Use the phone to make and receive calls.
For Skype calling, see Chapter 3, “Skype Calling” . For
landline calling, see Chapter 4, “Landline Calling” .
