Getting Started with the Base Station

To connect the base station, follow these instructions:

1.If you have a landline, connect a RJ-11 telephone line cord (included) to the LINE port of the base station. Then connect the other end to your telephone wall jack. If only the landline is connected you can only make and receive calls over the landline.

2.Connect the Ethernet RJ-45 cable (included) to the Ethernet port of the base station. Then connect the other end to a network Ethernet jack. If only the Ethernet cable is connected, you can only make and receive Skype or SkypeIn calls.

3.Connect the included power adapter to the power port of the base station. Then plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.

Proceed to the next section, “Powering On the Handset.”
