+### Pass custom Guzzle client
+
+We allow use of any HTTPlug adapter, so you can create a client with alternative configuration if you need it, for example to take account of a local proxy, or deal with something else specific to your setup.
+
+Here's an example that reduces the default timeout to 5 seconds to avoid long delays if you have no route to our servers:
+
+```
+$adapter_client = new Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client(new GuzzleHttp\Client(['timeout' => 5]));
+$nexmo_client = new Nexmo\Client(new Nexmo\Client\Credentials\Basic($api_key, $api_secret), [], $adapter_client);
+```
