Connecting the HNT1 USB Phone

When the USB Phone is connected to a computer, the LCD backlight will turn on and the device will connect to the installed Net-Talk™ software. When the connection has been established, USB Phone is displayed, indicating the device is ready for use.

Note: If Connecting… keeps showing on the display in Windows XP/2000, the device might have a problem communicating with Skype. Please, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual to resolve this problem.

Specifying a Audio Playback Device

When the Internet USB Phone is connected for the first time, Windows will reset its audio settings to use the USB Phone as the default audio in/out device. In this situation, the USB Phone will take over your current sound and speakers’ settings. To continue to use your original soundcard and speakers for standard audio playback, you can manually specify a preferred audio playback device (e.g., your sound card or USB speaker) while at the same time, continue to use the USB Phone as the default audio input/output device in Skype.

To specify a sound device for audio playback in Windows, go to Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices (or Sounds and Multimedia) > Audio and select a desired device in the Sound playback section.
