CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1
What is Skype?
Skype is a program that essentially turns your computer into a phone and allows you to
make calls over the Internet to other Skype users. Because the connection is established
over the Web, Skype-to-Skype calls are completely free of charge, and this is why phone
companies do not want you to know about Skype. You can use Skype to call people as
close by as your neighbors or as far away as someone on the opposite side of the globe.
It’s simple, efficient, and gets rid of long-distance calling costs.
What about my NexoTek phone?
Your NexoTek phone has been designed to be used with Skype for a more convenient
Internet calling experience. The NT-W100D Internet Cordless Phone provides you with
mobility when making Skype calls. You can use it without having to be sitting in front of
your computer. Its graphic LCD display with blue backlight allows you to view your
Skype contacts and call history right on the phone. Depending on your operating system,
your NT-W100D displays your own language characters. It also has caller ID, mute,
hold, and call waiting functions, as well as a headset jack for hands-free use. The phone
and its base ring for all incoming calls and include five different ring styles each at two
volume levels. The base also has a speakerphone, which can be used for conference calls,
and serves as a charging station for the phone. NexoTek’s noise reduction and echo
cancellation technology ensure that you will have only the best quality calls.

CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP SKYPE 3
How do I set up Skype?
In order to use your phone, you will need the Skype program installed on your computer.
If you already have Skype installed, please skip to Chapter 3.
There are three main parts of the Skype setup process. First, you must download the
program for free from the Internet and install it to your computer. Then you will create a
Skype account by picking out a user name and password. Finally, you will make a test
call to ensure that Skype is running successfully on your computer.
Download and Installation
The first part of setting up Skype involves downloading the program from the Skype Web
site and installing it on your computer. You must be connected to the Internet to do this.
1. To begin, open your Web browser. In the address bar, type in the URL for the
Skype home page: http://www.skype.com and press your Enter key.
2. When the Skype Web page has fully loaded, click on the link that says
Download Skype.

5. When the download window opens, choose the Run option.

CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP SKYPE 5
6. Your computer will now download a file called SkypeSetup.exe. This may
take a few seconds.

with the file. Again, press the button that says Run.

CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP SKYPE 6
8. A window containing the Skype End User License Agreement will
appear. Check the box that says Yes, I accept the EULA and I have
read the Privacy Statement. Then click Install. The Skype files
will now be copied to your computer.
9. You will now see the sign-in window, signifying that you have completed the
download and installation of the program. If you already have a Skype account,
sign in and skip to Chapter 3. If you do not, continue to the next part of the setup,
creating a new account.

CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP SKYPE 7
Creating a New Skype Account
1. Now you will begin the second part of setting up Skype, creating a new account.
You will make a user name and a password to log in and use the program. This is
the name exclusive to you that you will use to talk to other people in the Skype
community. To set up a new account, begin by clicking on the link in the sign-in
window that says Don’t have a Skype Name?
2. When you do this, a new window titled Create a New Skype Account
will appear. Enter the required information, taking note to remember what you
choose to put in Choose Skype Name and Password. This is the account
name you will use to talk to other Skype users, and you need the password to sign
into your account. Check the box indicating that you accept the Skype End User
License Agreement and the Skype Privacy Statement. Then hit Next>.

CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP SKYPE 8
3. In the next window, you have the option of entering your e-mail address and
country or region and city of residence. This information is optional. If you
choose to give your e-mail address, you also have the option of receiving news
and special offers from Skype. You may also choose whether or not you want
Skype to sign you in automatically when the program is run. When you have
finished configuring your preferences, press the Sign In button.
4. You should now be successfully logged in to the Skype program. The Skype icon
– a white checkmark on a green background – should appear in your system tray

you have finished the second of the Skype setup process. Please proceed to the
last step, making a test call.

CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP SKYPE 10
Making a Test Call
1. You are on the final part of the Skype setup process. To confirm that Skype works
properly, you can make a test call to its automated user, Echo123. This account
name is in your Contacts tab as Skype Test Call. Select the user by
single-clicking on it. Then press the green phone to send the call.
2. The automated voice guides you through making the test call by prompting you to
record a message and then playing it back to you. On your screen, you should see
a tab for the Skype Test Call.

CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP SKYPE 11
3. When the call is finished, you will be brought back to the Contacts tab of your
Skype window. If you were able to hear your message played back to you, then
you have successfully finished setting up Skype.
If you were not able to hear the message you left, there may be something wrong
with your computer’s audio devices. Please refer to the Skype Web site for help
by going to http://www.skype.com in your Internet browser.

CHAPTER 4: CONNECTING YOUR PHONE 17
How do I connect my phone?
Once you have Skype and SkyMagic up and running, you can hook your phone up. First,
you need to plug the base into an open USB port using the USB cable included in the
package. Then you will insert the phone’s battery and register the phone to the base.
Connecting your phone is easy and will take only a matter of seconds.
Hooking up the Base
1. Take the smaller end of the USB cable and, making sure it is oriented correctly,
plug it into the back of the base. Take the other end of the cable and carefully plug
it into an open USB port on your computer.
2. You will see balloons appear near your system tray indicating that your computer
has detected the base and installed the drivers. This is normal. If you have used a
NexoTek phone before, the balloons might not appear because the necessary
drivers are already installed.
3. You will see the SkyMagic icon become a green phone against a light green
background.
