Chapter 3: Getting Started

The Wi-Fi Phone requires a wireless connection to a Wi-Fi access point to operate. In addition, the access point network must provide access to the Internet to make Skype calls.

You can set the phone to connect to specific wireless networks or search for “open” networks. Wireless network information is stored in the phone’s memory as “Preferred Networks” that are searched for each time the phone is powered on.

When powering on the Wi-Fi Phone for the first time, there are no Preferred Networks in the phone’s memory. You need to select a wireless network and sign into your Skype account before you can start making calls.
