Thank you for choosing the Linksys Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit. It will allow you to make phone calls using
your broadband connection (through Skype™) and traditional phone service.
The 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. The Telephony Kit comes with a handset, its charger, and a USB base station. You
plug the USB base station into your computer using USB, and then connect its LINE port to a telephone wall jack.
With the Skype application running on your computer, the handset can display your contact list on its display.
Find your contact, press the Skype button, and start talking.
The Telephony Kit also supports SkypeOut™ dialing and works as a regular phone. It rings when you have a
Skype, SkypeIn™, or landline call coming in, and it provides caller ID. You can hit the mute button for privacy, or
use the speakerphone function to let everyone join in.
The Linksys Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit gives you all the functionality of a regular phone plus the

This section describes a variety of system features. A handset must be linked to the USB base station in order to
use any of the system features mentioned in this section, except for the registration feature.
Registering a Handset
By default, the handset is registered to its USB base station and ready for use. You only have to register the
handset if it indicates that it is not registered. You can register the handset with up to four USB base stations,
and each USB base station can register up to four handsets.
1. When the handset says, “UNREGISTERED”, select REG.
2. Select OK.
3. Press and hold down the page button on the USB base station until the LEDs of the USB base station flash.
4. On the handset, enter the Personal Identification Number (PIN) code. The default is 0000.

After the handset has been registered, you will see a confirmation screen. The handset will be in standby mode
and display its name, its number, and the Base/Handset Link icon.
If the registration fails, then you will see a warning screen. The Base/Handset Link icon will flash, and the
handset will not display its number. Repeat the registration procedure.

Environment and Safety
Safety information: This telephone is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the power fails. If a power outage occurs, this phone will
not function. An alternative should be made available for the making of emergency calls.
Battery requirements: The handset is powered through two rechargeable NiMH batteries, size AAA 1.2V 750mAh (HR11/45). Please do not use non-
rechargeable batteries.
WARNING:
You may suffer an injury from using this product or other electrical equipment during a thunderstorm. In extreme cases this may be fatal.
You should not use this product during a thunderstorm.
IMPORTANT:
The electrical network is classified as dangerous according to criteria in the standard IEC 60950. One way to power down this product
is by unplugging the power supply from the electrical outlet. Ensure the electrical outlet is located close to the apparatus and is always easily
accessible. You can also power down this product by unplugging the USB base station from the host PC.
WARNING:
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. Never use non-rechargeable batteries; use only the
recommended type supplied with this telephone. NiMH batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable waste disposal regulations.
WARNING:
The phone's handset produces a magnetic field that can attract small metallic objects such as pins and staples. In order to avoid the
possibility of injury, do not place the handset near small metallic objects.
WARNING:
Do not operate this phone in an explosive environment. The phone could ignite gases and vapors.
CAUTION:
The Telephony Kit will not operate during a power outage.

Appendix C: Regulatory Information
Environment and Safety
Safety precautions:
• Do not allow the handset to come into contact with liquids or moisture.
• Opening any part of the Telephony Kit, the handset, charger, or USB base station, could result in dangerous electrical shock.
• Do not allow the charging contacts of the charger or the handset’s battery to come into contact with extraneous conductive materials.
• As there is a slight chance that the Telephony Kit could be damaged by an electrical storm, you should always unplug the phone from your PC’s USB port
during such a storm.
• Do not use the handset in an explosive hazard area, such as gas stations where there is gas leaking.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the Telephony Kit.
Environmental care: Please remember to observe your local regulations regarding the disposal of your packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old
phone and, where possible, always recycle.
Because the phone works by sending radio signals between the USB base station and the handset, wearers of hearing aids may experience interference in
the form of a humming noise.
The Telephony Kit should not be used near intensive care medical equipment or by persons with pacemakers.
As the Telephony Kit can interfere with nearby electrical equipment, such as answering machines, televisions and radios, you should position the USB base
station at least one meter from such appliances.

To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines, the internal antennas used for this mobile transmitter (USB base station) must provide a
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons.
Base and handset must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The handset has been evaluated and found to comply with the applicable RF exposure regulations in accordance with FCC Part 2.1093 for portable devices.
This compliance is based on Specific Absorption Rate testing.
NOTE: All electrical work should be performed by a licensed electrician or licensed cabler.

Appendix C: Regulatory Information
Compliance Information
The base station and handset have been evaluated and found compliant in accordance with Industry Canada RSS-102 with respect to Canada’s Health
Code 6 for Exposure of Humans to RF Fields.
The highest SAR level measured for this phone is as follows:
Max. Head SAR - 0.153 W/kg
Max. Body SAR - 0.172 W/kg
The recommended limits are based on recommendations from the World Health Organizations (WHO) International Committee on Non Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP).
The Maximum allowable SAR as recommended by the ICNIRP limits is 2.0 W/kg based on 10 grams of tissue. However in the US, the recommended FCC limit
is 1.6 W/kg based on 1 gram of tissue.
This phone has been tested and found compliant with the belt clip provided with the product. The use of other type accessories not provided with the product
may not ensure compliance to the recommended RF exposure standards.
Additional information on SAR and RF Exposure can be obtained off the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
There is no conclusive proof that these mobile phones are a health risk. The FDA and numerous researchers are continuing studies of RF radiation and health
issues. Additional information on this subject can be obtained from the FDA web site at www.fda.gov.
There are several suggested methods to reduce exposure for the user. Among those include the following:
1. Using a hands-free handset to increase the distance between the antenna and the head of the user,
2. Orienting the antenna away from the user.

Noise
Electrical pulse noise is present at one time or another. This is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light
dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse
noise through the USB base station. This is usually only a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect of the unit.
This telephone is not designed for making emergency telephone calls when the power fails. Make alternative arrangements for access to emergency
services.
