Activating Your Phone, Setting Up Your Voicemail | Sanyo PLS-3810

Activating Your Phone

If you purchased your phone at a store, it is probably activated and ready to use.

If you received your phone in the mail, your phone is designed to activate automatically when you first turn it on. To confirm your activation, make a phone call.

If you received your phone in the mail and you are switching numbers from a previous phone to the new phone, you need to contact your service provider to activate the number on your new phone. When you have finished, make a phone call to confirm your activation.

Tip	Do not press END while the phone is being activated.
	Pressing END cancels the activation process.


Note	If you are having difficulty with activation, contact your
	wireless service provider.

Setting Up Your Voicemail

Your phone automatically transfers all unanswered calls to your voicemail, even if your phone is in use or turned off. You should set up your voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your phone is activated.

1.From standby mode, press and hold .

2.Follow the system prompts to:

Create your passcode.

Record your name announcement.

Record your greeting.

Note	Voicemail Passcode
	It is strongly recommended that you create a passcode
	when setting up your voicemail to protect against
	unauthorized access. Without a passcode, anyone who has
	access to your handset is able to access your voicemail
	messages.

For more information about using your voicemail, see “Voicemail” on page 84.
