can be used with the internet
or as a traditional landline telephone
Introduction
Your GE/Skype phone may change the way you think
about using your telephone, and using Skype. You can
use your GE/Skype phone to make and receive both
landline and Skype calls. And, because Skype is built
into your GE/Skype phone, you no longer need a com-
puter to use Skype.
In order to use your GE/Skype phone for Skype calls,
the base station must be linked up with an active Inter-
net connection. If you already have a computer linked
up to your Internet connection, this device might
occupy the connection port that is needed by the
GE/Skype phone base station. In this case you need
a router, allowing you to attach more devices to your
Internet connection.
Attach the router to the Internet connection and
connect your computer and the base station to the
router. Should you have any questions regarding the
use of the Internet and the router please contact your
Internet provider.
Please note: When installing a new router you
should be aware that it might take some time – up to
one hour – before it is properly registered with your
Internet provider.
To use Skype telephony via your GE/Skype phone
you need a Skype account as well as a user name and
a password. Please refer to the Getting started with
Skype section.
With Skype you call for free when talking to other
Skype users – and you can buy a number of additional
features to expand the possibilities of your GE/Skype
phone. Please refer to the Skype services section.

to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs
of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the
number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN,
you should contact your local telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring
and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules
and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and
modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected
to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation
instructions for details.
US Number is located on the base bottom.
REN Number is located on the base bottom.
Notes
• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone
company.

use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your
local telephone company.
• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent
disconnection of your telephone from your line.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the

equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
2
Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the
telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify
you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior
notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the
telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In
case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1)
promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (ꢀ) afford you the
opportunity to correct the situation; and (ꢁ) inform you of your right to bring
a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart
E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in

of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you
adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.

Telephone Solutions
No dial tone
• Check and repeat installation steps:
Verify the base power cord is connected to a working electrical
outlet. Verify the telephone line cord is connected to the base and
the wall jack.
• Connect another phone to the same jack; if there is still no dial tone,
the problem might be your wiring or local service.
• The handset may be out of range of the base. Move closer to base.
• Verify the batteries are installed correctly.
Handset does not ring
• Check the settings of the volume for your various handset tones and
alerts via Settings / Tones/ etc.

• The handset may be out of range of the base. Move closer to base.
• Verify the base is not plugged into an outlet with another household
appliance. If necessary, relocate the base.
• Another unit (for instance a computer) is using the Internet
connection. Free up bandwidth by ending other ongoing Internet
traffic or get an Internet connection with more bandwidth.
• If you use a router it may be interfering with the sound. In order
to obtain better sound, we recommend that you open the specific
port shown under Settings/ Advanced/ Internet settings/ Skype
ports to incoming TCP and/or UDP traffic. However, on some routers
you cannot configure incoming UDP traffic although you can still
configure rerouting of ports with incoming TCP traffic. If you are
using several Skype clients on the same router, you must make sure
that they are not using the same Skype Port.
