Important! Prior to connecting the Sweex USB Internet Phone to the computer, you must first install the SkyWin software provided.

The developments in the fields of hardware and software follow each other in rapid succession.

This update is easy to carry out by starting up "Internet Explorer" and selecting the option "Windows Update" in the "Extra" menu.
