as you used without any change. To make a standard phone call, just
pick up the handset and dial as you normally would. Make sure you

If you have SkypeOut™, you can use the USB Skype™ Phone
Adapter connected handset to make SkypeOut™ calls by picking up
the handset, pressing ## (only if the USB Skype™ Phone Adapter is in
PSTN mode), to indicate to the USB Skype™ Phone Adapter that this
will be a Skype call, dialing as per the SkypeOut™ recommended
dialing sequence, 00 + country code + telephone number and pressing
the asterisk (*) key. If the USB Skype™ Phone Adapter is already in
Skype™ mode, pressing ## is not required.
Examples:
PSTN mode: ## 001 617 123 4567 *
Skype™ mode: 001 617 123 4567 *
In order to make a call to a Skype™ contact, you will need to use the

Phone Adapter connected handset. Then simply pick up the handset,
press ## (if in PSTN mode), to indicate to the USB Skype™ Phone
Adapter that this is a Skype call, you will hear a new dial-tone, press
the speed dial number (e.g. 10) and then press the asterisk (*) key.

such as your mobile phone, change the Skype™ to Phone Line
settings as follows:
20
If you are on a PBX, you may need to press a digit to get an outside
line (i.e. 0). In this case you would enter 0,,16175551212.
In order to forward incoming regular calls to a Skype™ call, such as
through SkypeOut™ or to a Skype account, enter speed dial number
(e.g. 20) associated with the Skype User without the * key or enter the
SkypeOut™ number (e.g. 0016171234567).
Toll Bypass
Toll bypass is similar to forwarding, except the incoming caller hears
a beep, enters a password and then dials out an arbitrary number
instead of fixed forwarding as described in the previous section.
There are two common scenarios for this. You can call in from your
mobile phone to the computer that the USB Skype™ Phone Adapter is
connected to and make a low cost SkypeOut™ international call. This
is useful if you are in the same geographical location as USB Skype™
Phone Adapter and want to make international calls.
The second common scenario is you Skype™ to the computer that the
USB Skype™ Phone Adapter is connected to and make a low cost
local call over the PSTN line. This is useful if you are traveling abroad
and want to make a low cost local call (in the geographical location
that the USB Skype™ Phone Adapter is in).
Right-click on the Utility Agent (blue telephone icon in the System
Tray) and select Configure as shown below.
