Dear customer

Your Webtalker could entirely change the way you think about using your telephone and using Skype. You
can use your Webtalker to make and receive both landline and Skype calls. And, because Skype is built into
your Webtalker, you no longer need a computer to use Skype.
In order to use your Webtalker 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 Webtalker 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. You will find more information on this issue under Advanced Troubleshooting.
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 Webtalker you need a Skype account as well as a user name and a password.
Please see Getting started with Skype in the Installation and basic functions 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 Webtalker. Please see Skype services in the Installation and
basic functions section.
