Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G IP Phone. It will allow you to make phone calls using your broadband connection, whether you’re at home or

your computer. So, networks not only are useful in homes and offices, but also can be fun.
Use the instructions in this User Guide to help you set up and configure the IP Phone after you have created an account with your Internet phone service
provider. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Wireless-G IP Phone.
