HNT1 Internet Phone User’s Manual
4a. Using the HNT1 Phone with Skype
®
Connecting the HNT1 USB Phone
When the USB Phone is connected to a computer, the LCD backlight will turn on
and the device will connect to the installed Net-Talk™ software. When the
connection has been established, USB Phone is displayed, indicating the device is
ready for use.
Note: If Connecting… keeps showing on the display in Windows XP/2000, the
device might have a problem communicating with Skype. Please, refer to the
“Troubleshooting” section of this manual to resolve this problem.
Specifying a Audio Playback Device
When the Internet USB Phone is connected for the first time, Windows will reset its
audio settings to use the USB Phone as the default audio in/out device. In this
situation, the USB Phone will take over your current sound and speakers’ settings.
To continue to use your original soundcard and speakers for standard audio
playback, you can manually specify a preferred audio playback device (e.g., your
sound card or USB speaker) while at the same time, continue to use the USB
Phone as the default audio input/output device in Skype
®
.
To specify a sound device for audio playback in Windows, go to Control Panel >
Sounds and Audio Devices (or Sounds and Multimedia) > Audio and select a
desired device in the Sound playback section.
