Using Aplio/Dialer

When calling between a PC and an Aplio/Phone, the PC user must initiate the call and the Aplio/Phone must be set to 100% Free Mode so that it can receive the incoming call.

The sections below outline the steps required for both the PC user making the call and the Aplio/Phone user receiving the call.

Calling an Aplio/Phone from a PC

1. Configure your computer and install the software as noted in the first section above.
   
2. Turn on your microphone and speakers and adjust the volume of the speakers.
   
3. In Aplio/Dialer:

• Click on the Add button and enter the name and Aplio ID of the Aplio/Phone User you want to call.
  The Aplio ID is the same as the serial number (located under the Aplio/phone on the same sticker as the bar code) without the beginning zeros. For example, if the serial number is 00044390, the Aplio ID is 44390.

• Click on the name of the Person you want to call and then click on the Call button.
• When you have finished your call, click on the Hangup button in Aplio/Dialer.

Receiving a Call from a PC with your Aplio/Phone

As the receiving party, you must wait for the other person to call you. Remember that you have to answer the call on the telephone directly connected to your Aplio/Phone.

1. Place the Aplio/Phone in 100% Free Mode. To do this, press the button once without taking the receiver off the hook. The button will begin flashing.

A voice prompt from the speakerphone will say "Connection in progress, please wait". When the connection to the Internet is established, the voice prompt will say "Connection successful".

The Aplio/Phone is now connected to the Internet and waiting to receive a call.

Note: You can be called at anytime by a PC user if you are in Permanent 100% Free Mode (see User’s Manual).

2. When the call comes in, the phone connected to the Aplio/Phone will ring and the button will flash. Answer the phone to begin your conversation. You are now talking over the Internet.
   
3. When you have finished your call, hang up your phone.
   
4. The Aplio/Phone will disconnect from the Internet and re-connect only if it was in Permanent 100% Free Mode. If you want to exit 100% Free Mode manually, press the button.

Note: If you want to change the default value of the duration of the 100% Free Mode, see your User’s Manual.
