Notes on Establishing Wireless Link  Your wireless phone and dongle are packaged as an exclusive pair. They share a unique ID to communicate only to each other. This means your wireless phone cannot link to a dongle other than the one delivered with the wireless phone and vice versa. Likewise, you cannot expect the wireless phone to work with multiple dongles and vice versa.  Currently up to 7 pairs of wireless phone and dongle can co-exist within one radio range. The more pairs are present, the more likely interference will occur and thereby reduce the transmission range.  The maximum outdoor wireless range is about 30 meters while indoor range is about 15 meters in an open-air environment. If you cannot make the link, move the wireless phone closer to the dongle.  Other Bluetooth adapters may detect the presence of your wireless phone and USB dongle (which are identified as WBPA-G-Remote and WBPA-G-Dongle). But they cannot build a connection with either of them. 13

The systray message language depends on the language you select during the SkyWin installation process. About the Contact Name Language As for the contact names, as long as they are correctly displayed in Skype on the host computer, they should also be correctly displayed in the LCD, regardless of your user interface language. The character of your contact name is not properly displayed? If a language is not correctly displayed in Skype, you need to install additional language on your system.

Wireless USB Phone User’s Manual 8. Troubleshooting Q1. When I try to operate the wireless phone, the LCD keeps showing “Linking”. A1. If the RF indicator disappears from the screen in working mode, it means the wireless connection cannot be made. Move your wireless phone closer to the dongle to see if the problem is solved. If the RF indicator remains absent, verify if any of the following situations occurs: • The dongle has been un-plugged or not properly plugged. • Your computer enters standby or hybernation mode. Q2. I’ve got noise and hiss on my phone conversion. A2. There are a couple of reasons that might degrade the sound quality, such as distance, obstacle and network traffic. You may try to improve the sound quality by first moving closer to your host computer. Also, a partition wall or window in your home or office may be obstacle to the RF signal. Keep away from possibel obstacle and try move closer to the dongle. If you intend to use more than one pair of wireless phone and transceiver dongle within a wireless radio range, try to increase the distance between the dongles. Q3. The phone doesn’t work at all. A3. Check these items first: • Make sure the battery is not running off. • Make sure the dongle, SkyWin and Skype communicate well on the host computer. • If the problem persists, reset the phone by inserting a paperclip into the Reset hole. Press lightly and then release to power off the phone. Then re-power on the phone by long-pressing the Power key. 34

8. Troubleshooting Q4. While using the wireless phone: • There is no dial tone after pressing the dial key. • I cannot hear the other party on my wireless phone. • I hear the other party on my PC’s sound card (or another USB speaker) instead of the wireless phone. • The other party cannot hear me. A4. Make sure your software is configured to use wireless phone as the audio in/out device. In Skype window, click Tools > Options > Sound Devices. Make sure the Audio In (microphone) and Audio Out (speaker) and are correctly configured to use USB Audio Device, i.e. the wireless phone. Q5. When the phone’s USB port is connected to a computer for charging purpose, can I unplug the dongle and allow the phone to directly communicate with the host computer? A5. No. The phone’s USB port is only for power charging but not for data transfer. It always needs a USB dongle as a data transceiver. Q6 Will the Wi-Fi devices interference with the phone? A6. Although the wireless phone shares 2.4 GHz frequency band with Wi-Fi devices (such as the popular IEEE 802.11x wireless network device in office use), the phone has implemented Adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) solution to mitigate radio interference so that the phone can co-exist with Wi-Fi devices without degrading the wireless performance. Q7. Why cannot my contact’s name correctly displayed? The name is in one of the supported languages of the phone. A7. Make sure the language is correctly displayed in Skype, If not, you need to install related language on your system. (Refer to Windows Online help for more information.) Q8.
