Model 28310 2 in 1 - Skype Internet & Standard Phone Users Guide Quick Guide on pages 12-19 can be used with the internet or as a traditional landline telephone

Introduction Your GE/Skype phone may change the way you think about using your telephone, and using Skype. You can use your GE/Skype phone to make and receive both landline and Skype calls. And, because Skype is built into your GE/Skype phone, you no longer need a computer to use Skype. In order to use your GE/Skype phone for Skype calls, the base station must be linked up with an active Internet connection. If you already have a computer linked up to your Internet connection, this device might occupy the connection port that is needed by the GE/Skype phone base station. In this case you need a router, allowing you to attach more devices to your Internet connection. Attach the router to the Internet connection and connect your computer and the base station to the router. Should you have any questions regarding the use of the Internet and the router please contact your Internet provider. Please note: When installing a new router you should be aware that it might take some time up to one hour before it is properly registered with your Internet provider. To use Skype telephony via your GE/Skype phone you need a Skype account as well as a user name and a password. Please refer to the Getting started with Skype section. With Skype you call for free when talking to other Skype users and you can buy a number of additional features to expand the possibilities of your GE/Skype phone. Please refer to the Skype services section.
