Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese Skype GUI now. If Skype GUI is
not set within above three language GUI, SkyBox S1 system tray icon might
show Skype unavailable and device won’t work with Skype. If SkyBox
S1 runs successfully, tray icon shows or (without landline).
10. Skype 8.x doesn’t have any developer API to get Skype contacts
information and our software can’t establish Skype contacts for users now.
Skype doesn't support speed dial function for version 4.0 and later. User
can use SkyBox S1 Speed Dial page to set speed dial for any Skype user
or SkypeOut number.
There are up to 5 digits for speed dial setting. User needs to upgrade
SkyBox S1 version to 3.0.0.9 or later and do the setting at Speed Dial page.
Contact is the name for you to distinguish this contact. Skype ID is Skype
account or SkypeOut number for call out. Skype Speed dial list can be
exported as back up and import for use in the future.
User can click “Contact”, “Skype ID” or “Speed Dial” individually to have the
data arranged in a sequential order for easy finding. If user wants to delete
some contacts, user can hold keyboard “ctrl” key and choose all contacts to
be deleted, then press ”Delete” button. The selected contacts will be
deleted.

11. If the Default operation mode in General page is Skype( check from Option
dialogue of SkyBox S1 system tray icon in the right-bottom corner of
Windows), user will hear a different Skype dial tone and notice blue LED is
solid-on when the phone receiver is picked up. User can follow below steps
13~15 to make Skype/SkypeOut calls. Or user can press “# “key to switch
to the Landline mode( Green LED is solid on when the phone is hook off)
and hear a familiar landline dial tone, then make a landline call as you did in
the past. If user changes default operation mode as Landline mode, user
will hear a familiar landline dial tone and notice green LED is solid-on when
the phone receiver is picked up. Then make a landline call as you did in the

5
past. User can press “# “key to switch to the Skype mode and hear a
different Skype dial tone and notice blue LED is solid-on when the phone
receiver is picked up. User can follow below steps 13~15 to make
Skype/SkypeOut calls.
12. When SkyBox S1 is in the Skype mode, pick up your phone receiver or
handset( blue LED is solid-on) and dial Skype contact’s speed dial number
+ “#” key through the phone keypad after hearing a Skype dial tone and
then enjoy a Skype call. Add “# “key will accelerate the Skype call to be
calling out, but it is not necessary.
13. When SkyBox S1 is at Skype mode, for a SkypeOut™call, dial “00” (or “+”
key) + country code + area code +phone number + “#”key through the
phone keypad or setup a SkypeOut contact list and call out by Skype
speed dial number. Add “# “key will accelerate the SkypeOut call to be
calling out, but it is not necessary. For example, user can make a call to
one U.S.A. number by pressing 00-1-408-888-8888. If SkypeOut country
code and area code are set as below figure, user can omit 00 + country
code or even area code when making a SkypeOut call.

14. When there is a phone ring for an incoming call, pick up your phone
receiver or handset to answer the call and hang up phone or click End call
from Skype GUI to finish the call.
15. For Skype 7.x or Skype 8.x, SkyBox S1 incoming Skype callers will have
problem to dial extension number successfully for a Skype-to-Skype call
with Sky SkyBox S1 version before 3.0.0.9. The Skype callers either can’t
find DTMF dial pad or dialing DTMF doesn't work. There is no such
problem for extension number dialing during SkypeOut calls. For Skype
calls from Skype gateway like SkyBox S1 or SkyATA, callers can just dial
extension number from phone.
SkyBox S1 can support extension dialing during Skype-to-Skype calls via
Skype chat after SkyBox S1 version 2.1.0.152 for Skype 7 or version

7
3.0.0.9 for Skype 8. During Skype-to-Skype calls, Skype callers can send
Skype chat message like “* 123” 60 seconds before making the Skype call
or during the Skype call as below figure. SkyBox S1 software will help the
caller to dial extension 123.
16. During a Skype or a landline call, user can press “＊1” phone keys to pick
up the interrupt landline or Skype call and switch between both calls. Press
“＊”phone key to hang up the current call.
Note:
If the holding landline callee disconnects the call when user is on the Skype
call, SkyBox S1 won’t send out any reminder and the landline can’t take
any new call. User can press ＊1 keys to switch to the landline and hang
up by press ＊key, then a new landline will be available. Or landline call
will only become available after user hangs up the phone.
17. During a Skype or a landline call, user can press “＊2” phone keys to add
the interrupt landline or Skype call for a 3 way conference( one landline and
one Skype).
18. Sometimes SkyBox S1 call party can’t hear each other. It might be due to
internet quality. If this problem exists persistently, user can try to click
“ Audio recovery” button from General page of SkyBox S1 system tray
“Option”.
19. Skype 8.x doesn’t support any developer’s API, so SkyBox S1 sends
Skype display name instead of Skype ID for Skype caller ID now. If

8
user wants to have speed dial information for the incoming Skype contact
for easy call return, user needs to set correct contact’s Skype display name
and speed dial number at the Speed Dial setting page. User can refer
SkyBox S1 user manual 4.8 Skype caller ID for details.
Note:
1. SkyBox S1 setup installation needs to be under user with administrator
privilege.
2. SkyBox S1 is quite different with general USB devices like USB
keyboard or USB mouse. It needs 5V, 500mA power from the USB port.
If SkyBox S1 can't work properly after this device is successfully installed,
please unplug this device and plug into another PC USB port, or replace
the USB cable with a new good quality one between this device and PC
USB port or use USB hub with power adapter to connect this device and
PC USB port.
We found some PC USB port at the front panel is extended from
motherboard through extension connector/cable and sometimes the
connector/cable is at bad quality. It might cause SkyBox S1 to malfunction.
For this case, we recommend you to plug SkyBox S1 into USB ports at PC
rear panel or use one USB hub with power adapter to connect PC USB port
and SkyBox S1.
3. After SkyBox S1 software is running, user can click SkyBox S1 tray icon
with right mouse from right-bottom of PC desktop for “check for latest
update” and “about”. About will tell you what’s the SkyBox S1 software
version you installed. If the result for check latest update has newer version
than your current installation, you can download for use.
