Technical Support Information
17: I am already using Skype on my computer with many contacts. Do I need to add all of them manually
to the phone?
No your existing contacts will be automatically downloaded from the Skype server once you enter your Skype
Username/Password onto the phone.
18: My friend wants to borrow my Wi-Fi Phone for Skype. Does he/she have access to my Account?
Make sure you to select "prompt for password" before giving your phone away. Otherwise your friends will be
able to sign-in with your account details.
You can do this by going to Select [Menu] > [Settings] > [General] > [Auto Sign in] to active "prompt for
password"
19: When networks are displayed on my Wi-Fi Phone for Skype, some have a 'lock' icon. What does that
mean?
The lock next to the network name indicates that the network is encrypted. You'll need a passphrase or
encryption key to access these networks. Contact the provider of the network or check the routers encryption
settings.
20. I don't like the ring tone. How do I change it to a different tone?
Select [Menu] > [Settings] > [Tones]. In this menu you can change the following settings
•Incoming Alert - Ringing, Ring Once, Beep Once, Off
•Ringing Tone - Sing-a-Long, Bubbly, Medley and Silent
•Ringing Volume - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
•Vibrating Alert - Always, When Silent, Never
•Notification Tones - On or Off
21: What about privacy?
Skype protects the privacy of users by requiring authorisation of names that are added to a contact list. When
you want to add a contact to your list, an Authorisation Request is sent to the user. The user can accept or deny
the request.
22: Is it possible to block a user that I previously authorised?
Yes, Skype allows you to also block contacts that you have previously authorised. When you block contacts, you
will always appear offline to them and they will not be able to call you. To block a user
•Select [Menu] > [Contacts]
•Scroll to the contact in your list that you want to block
•Select [Options] > [Advanced] > [Block]
23: What about security?
To prevent anyone on the Internet from listening to your calls Skype uses a protocol that ensures secure and
encrypted communication. For secure wireless connections the phone supports Wired-Equivalent-Privacy (WEP)
and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) levels of encryption.
24:Which Wireless LAN standard is used?
The F1PP000GNukSK supports both the IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11b standards with 54Mbps/ 11Mbps in the
2.4GHz frequency band.
