Chapter 3: Getting Started

To use Skype you will need an available ethernet port. If you have traditional phone service (landline), you will 
also need an available telephone wall jack.

To insert the batteries and charge them, follow these instructions:

1. Remove the cover of the battery compartment.

2. Insert the two NiMH rechargeable, AAA batteries (included). Make sure the polarities are correct. (The + and 

- ends of the batteries should be in the + and - slots of the compartment.)

3. Slide the cover upward until it snaps into place.

4. Plug the charger’s power adapter into an electrical outlet. Place the handset on the charger. For the initial 

charge, let the batteries charge for 14 hours before using the handset. This maximizes battery performance 
and life.

Proceed to the next section, “Getting Started with the Base Station.”

NOTE: The handset may become warm during the initial charge.

NOTE: If the batteries are low, the handset may not power on for up to 15 minutes and will emit a 
warning tone. Place the handset on the charger to recharge.
