3) Setting Up Your Phone

Your phone has four basic options that you need to set up first. You should only have to set these options once, and you may not have to change any of them:

•

Dial mode (tone or pulse dialing)

•

Language

•

CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting)

•

Auto talk

You might change two handset-specific options --ringer type and ringer volume -- and one base setting – ringer volume --more often, depending on the situation. There’s another option, area code, that you should only set if you can use seven-digit dialing (see section 5-3 on Using Seven Digits Instead of Ten).

3-1. Activating Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW)

You must subscribe to Caller ID service through your local telephone provider to use this feature. Caller ID allows you to see the name and number of the calling party before you answer the phone. Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) lets you see the name and number of a call that comes in when you are on the line.

1)With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].

2)Press [] to move the pointer to CIDCW.

3)Press [select/channel] to toggle and turn on Caller ID on Call Waiting.

4)Press [END] and put the handset back in the base. The handset communicates the new setting to the base.

3-2. Setting the Display Language (LANGUAGE)

The handset menus can use English (ENG, default), French (FR) or Spanish (ESP).

1)With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].

2)Press [] to move the pointer to LANGUAGE.

3)Press [select/channel] to select ENG, FR. or ESP.

4)When the display shows the language you want, use [/ ] and [] to move the pointer to another menu item.

OR

If you’re finished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.

Note: To change the language used by the answering system, see Section 7-1 on Setting Up the Answering System.

3-3. Activating AutoTalk (AUTO TALK)

With Auto Talk, you can answer the phone just by picking up the handset from the cradle: you don’t have to press any keys. If the handset is already off the cradle, Auto Talk also lets you answer by pressing any key on the twelve-key dial pad (instead of just [TALK/flash]).

1)With the phone in standby, press and hold [cid/menu].

2)Press [] to move the pointer to AUTO TALK.

3)Press [select/channel] to turn Auto Talk on.

4)Use [/ ] and [] to move the pointer to another menu item.

OR

If you’re finished, press [END] to return the handset to standby.
