7. Making and Receiving Calls

You can continue to use the telephone handset connected to the DPH-50U
VoIP USB Phone Adapter to make and receive standard telephone calls as
you used without any change. To make a standard phone call, just pick up the
handset and dial as you normally would. To answer (receive) a standard
phone call just pick up the handset when the phone rings.
When you receive an incoming Skype™ call, the handset connected to the
DP-50U will ring. If you handset supports Alphanumeric Caller ID, then the
Skype username will be displayed on the handset's screen where the
standard caller ID information is displayed. To answer the call, just pick up the
handset and speak as you normally would. To end the call, simply hang up the
handset as you normally would.
If you have SkypeOut™, you can use the DPH-50U connected handset to
make SkypeOut™ calls by picking up the handset, pressing ##, to indicate to
the DPH-50U that this is not a standard call but a Skype call, dialing as per
the SkypeOut™ recommended dialing sequence, 00 + country code +
telephone number (e.g. 001 617 555 1212) and pressing the asterisk (*) key.
In order to make a call to a Skype™ contact, you will need to use the Skype™
program to assign a speed dial (as described in the next section) to each
person you would like to call from the DPH-50U connected handset. Then
simply pick up the handset, press ##, to indicate to the DPH-50U that this is
not a standard call but a Skype call, you will hear a new dial-tone, press the
speed dial number (e.g. 22) and then press the asterisk (*) key.
