Chapter 1: Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Cordless Internet Telephony Kit. It will allow you to make phone or fax calls 
using your broadband connection.

Get cordless handset convenience when you use Skype™!  Now you don't have to sit in front of your computer 
when you want to talk to your friends.  The Linksys Cordless Internet Telephony Kit comes with the Handset and 
its charger, and a USB Base Station that plugs into your computer.  With the Skype application running on your 
PC, the handset can read and display your contact list on its built-in illuminated display.  Just choose who you 
want to talk to from the menu, press a button, and get ready to talk.

Of course, the handset supports SkypeOut™ dialing as well as your Skype contact list.  It rings when you have a 
Skype or SkypeIn™ call coming in, and shows the caller's ID on the screen.  You can hit the Mute button for 
privacy, or use the speakerphone function to let everyone join in.  Put an existing call on hold to pick up or initiate 
a second call.

In short, the Linksys Cordless Internet Telephony Kit gives you all the functionality of a regular phone, through 
Skype.  You'll get the convenience of a cordless phone and all its features, plus the high-quality voice reception 
that you get from Skype on your PC, without being tied to your computer.
