Step 4: Setting up the Telephone
SETTING UP LCD CONTRAST, LANGUAGE, AREA CODE, TIME AND DATE
You may need to set up the LCD contrast level, language, area code, time and date for your telephone when you power your phone for the first time or when you move to an area that has a different area code. This is necessary because the phone must distinguish local or long distance calls to properly dial calls from the Caller ID list.
Press and hold the DELETE button down, then press the DOWN button, the following will show in the display (FIG. 1). Release the DELETE button, press the UP or DOWN button to choose the LCD contrast level
The default language “E” (“E” = English; “F” = French; “S” = Spanish) will flash (FIG 2).
FIG. 1FIG. 2FIG. 3
Press the UP or DOWN button to choose your desired language (flashing). Press the DELETE button to confirm and accept. If you do not press the DELETE button within 15 seconds, English will be selected automatically.
Then the display will ask you to set your Area Code:
While the first digit is flashing, you should:
1. Press the UP button till the first digit of your area code is displayed (flashing).
2. Press the DELETE button to accept and go to the next digit.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above to set the 2nd and 3rd digits of your area code.
NOTE: At any time during setup, you may just pick up the handset or press the SPEAKER button to dial or receive a call.
NOTE: If you make a mistake, you can just do it over again or call customer service for help.
