Welcome
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit with Skype. It will allow you to make phone 
calls using your broadband connection (through Skype™) and traditional phone service (optional). It also 
supports SkypeOut™ dialing. For landline service, you must have a service provider and a telephone port to 
connect to. 
The Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit gives you cordless convenience, so you don't have to sit in front of your 
computer when you want to talk to your friends. It comes with a handset, charger, and a base station. After the 
handset receives its initial charge, you can plug the base station into an Ethernet port and use the phone 
immediately. 
What is Skype?

SkypeIn is a subscription feature that provides you with a traditional phone number for 
receiving Skype calls on your cordless phone from traditional landlines and mobile phones.
Skype Voicemail™ Skype voicemail allows you to send and receive messages and record a greeting. 
All of these features are available at www.skype.com
