We recommend that you send this request but you do not have to do so –and you can send the request whenever you wish to. If you do not send the request, you will never be able to see the contact’s online status.
Call Waiting SK9500 DECT has a Call Waiting feature that works with Caller ID service from your telephone service operator. When you’re engaged on a landline ongoing call, if you receive a second Skype call, your phone will use a call waiting signal to let you know another call is ringing in.
Welcome message: After activating voicemail you can record your welcome message. If you do not record a personal message, the Skype standard message will be used instead. Skype conference call The SK9500 cannot initiate a Skype conference call, but you can participate in a Skype conference call initiated from a computer.
Troubleshooting Always check first that: You have followed the steps listed on pages to install and set up your SK9500. All connects are firmly inserted in their sockets. Mains power is switched on at the socket.

The base unit needs mains power for normal operation of the phone-not just charging the batteries. Make sure you are using the telephone line cable that was supplied with your SK9500. Other telephone line cables might not work. Check that you have set the ringer volume to off. See the user manual for more information.

Clean the batteries charging contacts with a dry cloth. When I press the CALL button, I hear a loud noise. The strange noise is caused by interference. Disconnect the mains power lead from the back of the base unit, and then wait for 30 seconds before reconnecting it. There is 'beep' sound while I am on a call.
