Appendix Frequently Ask Question
Q1. How to distinguish the Skype voice and operational system voice
by USB phone?
A1： You can set Skype and operational system to use different sound device
Please set the operational system audio input/output in “Start”à“Control panel”à“Sounds
and audio device”
Please Set the Skype audio input/output in Skype àTool à OptionsàSound Devices,
select “USB Audio Device”
Q2. How to change the ring tones of USB phone?
A2： Current USB Driver supports four different ring tones. User can edit his favorite ring to
replace the default ring. Ring files are saved at “C:\Program Files\PLANET UP-120”. The
default four ring files are: music1.wav, music2.wav, music3.wav and music4.wav. User should
replace the original ring file when user wants to change the ring or edit a new ring file, the file
should be in .wav format.
For example, you can rename your own ring file my_ring.wav to music1.wav and place this file
in C:\Program Files\PLANET UP-120, now the ring1 is your favorite ring tone.
Q3. When USB phone rings, why I can hear 2 rings- - both USB phone
ring and Skype ring. How to deal with this?
A3： If you want to hear only the USB phone ring, please set as below:
SkypeàToolàOptionàSound Altersàuncheck “play sound when somebody is calling
me”
Uncheck this
If you want to hear only Skype ring, please use a silent ring file to replace the USBphone
ring file. And select “play sound when somebody is calling me” We provide a silent ring file
(silent.wav) in our CD; you can use this file to replace the ring file. Please refer to Q1 for
the detail operation.
Q4. Why sometimes the LCD display flashing when USB phone
ringing?
A4： If your USB power supply is lower than the USB phone power supply, the LCD display
panel may flash in ringing even your computer restart. In this case, you can set the USB phone
ring volume to a lower value (refer to ring_volume) to reduce the USB phone ringing power
requirement.
Q5. How to deal with if USB phone occupy 99% CPU memory?
A5： When several programs use the skype at the same time, this symptom may happen.
You can exit the skype and the related programs, and then run the skype and USB phone
again.
Q6. Why does USB phone LCD show nothing or characters missing
when use in some computers?
A6： If your USB port can’t supply enough power to the USB phone,(for example, using a PCI
USB cardbus.), the following may happen: power surge indication in PC; no LCD display in
USB phone or some characters missing. Please change the USB port in this case.
Q7. How to solve if the other party hears echo?
A7： When you use the hand free function to talk to your friend and set the MIC input volume
to a high value, then your friend may hear echo in his/her side. You can right click the USB
phone icon in the task menu and reduce the MIC value in the volume control setting to cancel
the echo.
Q8. How to solve if some voices miss out when using hand free?
A8： When using hands free function, USB phone work in half d uplex status, in this status, if
the MIC input volume higher than the other party voice, USB phone will automatically reduce
the speaker output volume to reduce the echo. So if the caller and callee talk at the same time,
the one with the lower voice will be listened with some words missing. Avoid speak at the same
time can avoid this happen.
