CHAPTER 6: USING YOUR PHONE
20
What can I do with my phone?
Before you can use your phone, you must have Skype and SkyMagic installed and
running. Make sure you are logged into Skype and your phone is plugged in. Please refer
to Chapters 2 through 4 to learn how to set up these programs and connect your phone.
Your phone can make and receive free Skype-to-Skype calls. You can also use your
phone to make SkypeOut calls to any phone number in the world at a lower rate than
what phone companies charge.
In addition, you can also utilize the hands-free headset jack and use the call waiting, hold,
and mute functions when making Internet calls. You might also like to choose your ring
tone.
General Operation
Viewing Your Contact List & Contact Info
The NT-P500 has a graphic LCD screen that lets you view your Skype contacts and
their personal information, such as their work and mobile phone numbers, right on the
phone. This is easily done by pressing a few buttons.
1.
On your phone, press
to display your contact list on the phone screen.
2. If you wish to see a contact’s personal information, press
to scroll to
that contact.
3. Once the desired contact is highlighted, press
to see his or her information.
4. After you are done, press
to return to your contact list. Press the same
button again to return the phone to the idle state.
⇒
To find a contact more quickly, use the letters on the numeral buttons to jump to
his or her Skype name instead of scrolling. For example, if I wanted to jump to my
Skype contact named
RachelSmith
, I would press the
7
button three times to
jump to the ‘R’ entries in my contact list because the letters for the number
7
are
PQRS
.
