Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit. It will allow you to make phone calls using
your broadband connection (through Skype™) and traditional phone service.
The 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. The Telephony Kit comes with a handset, its charger, and a USB base station. You
plug the USB base station into your computer using USB, and then connect its LINE port to a telephone wall jack.
With the Skype application running on your computer, the handset can display your contact list on its display.
Find your contact, press the Skype button, and start talking.
The Telephony Kit also supports SkypeOut™ dialing and works as a regular phone. It rings when you have a
Skype, SkypeIn™, or landline call coming in, and it provides caller ID. You can hit the mute button for privacy, or
use the speakerphone function to let everyone join in.
The Linksys Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit gives you all the functionality of a regular phone plus the
capability to handle Skype calls.
