Introducing the Aplio/Phone

Thank you for choosing the Aplio/Phone NP-100. The Aplio/Phone will dramatically reduce your long distance telephone charges by letting you call any other Aplio/Phone user in the world, for the cost of a local call and a low monthly Internet subscription fee for both parties.

How the Aplio/Phone works

Aplio's "IP-Finder" technology (patent pending), lets you make a call over the Internet as easily as you would make a regular phone call - all it takes is the press of a button.

The Aplio/Phone uses your Internet Service Provider (ISP) access number, user name and password to connect to your ISP and switch your call over to the Internet. The 100% Free Mode (formerly known as Economy Mode) provides further cost-savings.

Package contents

In your Aplio/Phone package, you will find:

	An Aplio/Phone NP-100
	An AC adapter
	A telephone cord
	A warranty registration card
	A User's Manual
	A list of compatible ISPs
	A Getting Started Guide

You will also need to have:

	A dial-up Internet account
	A touch-tone phone
	An analog phone line
	An electrical outlet

If you do not have an Internet account, you will need to contact an ISP in your area. Presently, the Aplio/Phone functions only with the standard Point-to-Point (PPP) Internet Access Type. The Aplio/Phone is not currently compatible with certain commercial services, such as America Online (AOL), which are proprietary and do not follow the PPP standard.
