The VoIP features may vary considerably, depending on your provider's VoIP configura-
tion. You should therefore read the documentation given to you by your provider and, 
where applicable, visit your provider's Internet site for further options. 
Making calls via VoIP
Make telephone calls in the same way as on a conventional telephone: dial as usual or 
use the directory to dial. The Phone LED flashes green.
If the dialled number is a fixed line connection, your call will first be transmitted via the 
Internet to the relevant regional exchange. Only on the last stretch will your call be 
directed via a fixed line to the person you are calling.
Receiving VoIP phone calls
Your PC does not need to be switched on for you to receive calls. It is only necessary for 
the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX to be ready for operation (Phone LED lights up green).
For you to receive calls via VoIP, let potential callers know your VoIP phone number. You 
will find your VoIP phone number in the documentation provided by your provider. 
As soon as a call is received on your VoIP phone, the Phone LED starts to flash green. 
When you lift the receiver or press the connection button, your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX 
will provide the highest possible bandwidth for voice transmission. If you are surfing the 
Internet at the same time, it is possible that the data will be transmitted a little more 
slowly, similar to when downloading several large data packets. The call is made in the 
same way as via a conventional phone line. When you have ended the call, the Phone 
LED lights up a constant green again and your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX makes the entire 
bandwidth available for data transfer.

Please note that you cannot make phone calls via the Internet in the event 
of a power failure.
Ask your provider which emergency numbers are available via the VoIP 
connection. It is also possible that service numbers cannot be reached in 
the usual way.
Ask your provider about VoIP rates for VoIP connections, fixed line net-
work connections and mobile phone connections.
