Connecting the Soft Phone to the PC
Connect the soft-phone’s cable to the USB port on your PC. The red sta-
tus LED on the soft-phone should illuminate once the phone is connected.
If you are connecting the soft-phone to your computer for the first time
and you are using Windows XP your computer will detect the new device
and install the necessary drivers. There is no need for any special driv-
ers, as the phone supports the Windows Human Interface Device and
USB Audio Device 1.0 standards.
If you are installing your soft-phone with systems other than Windows XP,
you will need to follow the set-up procedures that will be displayed on
your computer by the New Hardware Installation Wizard.

™
and Skypemate
™
software on
the CD
Skype™ and Skypemate™ is the software designed to enable your XACT
soft-phone to work with Skype™ internet calling.
Insert the installation CD into your computer and the files will automatical-
ly open for download. You need to install the set-up file (Skype@phone-
setup.exe) and the Skypemate™ file.
Once the installation is complete, the Skype™ software will be automati-
cally launched when Windows restarts.
