Product Description ----------------------- Phone Plus is a full featured telephone dialer with optional Caller ID and speakerphone support. You can organize names, numbers, addresses, and other information in multiple user-defined phone books and dial using a standard Data/Fax modem. Other features include automatic redial of busy numbers, and call logging. Caller ID lets you know who is calling before you answer. Announce the caller's name using speech synthesis. A flashing icon in the system tray lets you know that calls were logged while you were away from the computer. With Pager and E-mail Notification you can be automatically notified when someone calls your home or office. Place and receive calls using the full featured speakerphone. See the help file for a complete list of available features. Phone Plus is TAPI compliant and can share your modem with other TAPI programs. ----------------------- 2. System Requirements ----------------------- - 486/33 or higher to use text-to-speech option - Microsoft(r) Windows(r) 95/98 or 2000 - 5 MB (minimum) of free disk space - TAPI 2.1 or higher * In addition, the Caller ID and Speakerphone features require: - A TAPI compliant modem with Caller ID or speakerphone functionality - Caller ID service from your phone company - Microsoft(r) Unimodem/V universal modem driver * * The Unimodem requirement is only a concern if you are using an early version of Windows 95. If so, an update is available. Windows 95 users will need to install the TAPI 2.1 update. Both of these updates are available at http://www.imptec.com/support.htm. Phone Plus will run on Windows NT, however the version of Unimodem provided with Windows NT does not support Caller ID or a speakerphone. ---------------- 3. Installation ---------------- If you are updating a previous version of Phone Plus, do not uninstall the old version. This would remove the configuration settings. Simply install this new version over the old one. Be sure the old version is not running when installing the new one, or you will need to restart Windows to finish the installation. First, extract the files to a temporary directory. You can delete this directory when setup has completed. Run Setup.exe and follow the instructions. Use one of these methods to run Setup.exe: - Select Run from the Taskbar Start menu, type the full path of the temporary directory followed by a backslash and the name of the installation program (e.g., C:\TEMP\SETUP.EXE). Press the ENTER key. - Use My Computer or the Explorer to find the Setup.exe file. Double-click the icon to run it. To uninstall Phone Plus simply double-click "Add/Remove programs" in the control panel, select Phone Plus in the list, and click the "Add/Remove" button. After uninstalling you will need to manually remove the Phone Plus directory and any files left in it since the uninstall does not remove any data files or temporary files that were created. ------------------- 4. Troubleshooting ------------------- If you are using a modem with Caller ID or Speakerphone capabilities and have problems getting these features to work, be sure to read the "Troubleshooting" chapter in the Phone Plus help. ----------------- 5.
