All variants of the base
require a connection to a router for the following features
of the phone:
u
You wish to be notified as soon as new software is available for your base on the
Internet and load this onto your base.
u
The date and time on your base should be updated by a time server on the Inter-
net.

You wish to go online with your base, i.e., use the
Info Centre
, display info serv-
ices or search for phone numbers in an online directory.
The base will have to be connected to a PC (via a router or directly) if you wish to
use the following features of your base:
u
You wish to set up the base using its Web configurator.
u
You wish to use the additional PC software, "

to dial numbers via the PC (e.g., numbers from a PC directory) or to load images
or melodies from the PC to your base.
For Internet access you need a router connected to the Internet via a modem (this
may be integrated in the router).
