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-P500 USB Skype Smart Phone provides you with the
ease and style of a mobile phone when making Skype calls. 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-P500 displays your own language
characters. It also has caller ID, mute, hold, and call waiting functions. For hands-free
use, you can also use the headset jack. The phone rings for all incoming calls, and it
includes five different ring styles each at two volume levels. 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.

3. On the next page that loads, press the Download button.
4. Another page will load. Press the Download button once again.
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.
7. When the download finishes, you will see a window asking what you want to do
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
to indicate that Skype is connected to the Internet and that you are signed in.
If the Skype icon has a white ‘X’ on a grey background, please check your
Internet connection and make sure that you have signed into Skype.

CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP SKYPE 9
5. When you sign in, your main Skype window will appear.
6. A Getting Started window will also pop up. Check the box that says Do
not show this guide at startup and then close the window. Now
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.

Skype, allowing them to work together so you can make Internet calls with the

CD drive. Your Internet browser should open with the SkyMagic window. Click

Skype is running. If not, log in and run the program. If you are logged in to Skype
and the background is still gray, please refer to the Enabling SkyMagic to use
Skype portion of Chapter 7.

Having the most upgraded version of our software will allow you to enjoy the
latest features of your phone. For instructions about how to download the most
recent version of SkyMagic, see Appendix D.

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 to
your computer. The phone’s cord is designed to plug into an open USB port. Connecting
your phone will take only a matter of seconds.
1. Take the cord of the phone and make sure it is oriented correctly to plug into an
open USB port on your computer. Then carefully insert it into the port.
2. You will see balloons appear near your system tray indicating that your computer
has detected the phone 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.
4. The phone screen should display the time and say Skype On. Now you have
completely hooked up your phone.
