General Information
Before any call is made, please note the following.
Emergency Calls
SKYPE does not support emergency call; all emergency calls will be routed via the normal landline.
Out of range warning
If you move too far away from the base unit during a call, your phone will sound an alert tone, and 
will flash. You need to move closer to the base unit or your call will be disconnected.
If the handset cannot find the base within 30 minutes, it will automatically turn itself off and you will have to manually turn it on again when back in range of the base.
Low battery warning
If your phone is almost out of battery power during a call, it will sound an alert tone. Place your phone on the charger to charging as soon as possible.
