PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
I experience a bad
sound quality during
Skype calls.
• You are probably behind a
router which interferes with
the sound.
• Another unit (for instance a
computer) is using the Internet
connection.
• In order to obtain better sound, we
recommen d that you open the specifi c port
shown under Settings > Advanced >
Internet settings > Skype ports to
incoming TCP and/or UDP traffi c. However,
on some routers you cannot confi gure
incoming UDP traffi c although you can still
confi gure rerouting of ports with incoming
TCP traffi c. If you are using several Skype
clients on the same router, you must make
sure that they are not using the same Skype
Port.
• Free up bandwidth by ending other ongoing
Internet traffi c or get an Internet connection
with more bandwidth.
I cannot send

• People calling you should allow the phone to
ring at least fi ve times before they hang up
due to the delay before the Online Number
call reaches you.
I cannot call via my

• The base station is not
connecte d to your landline.

occupied by another phone in
the house.
• The base station is not turned
on.
• Connect the landline to your base station.

traditional phone and hear if there is a
dialling tone. If not, contact your landline
provider.

occupied.
