Using Services

The Model 390 telephone allows you
to access enhanced telephone
company subscription features and
services, which can include home
banking, catalogue shopping,
restaurant guides, and voice mail.
Services may be free or may have a
subscription cost. Contact your
telephone company for information.
The Services menu shows the services
that require subscription. Before
selecting a service, you must
download the service into your
telephone. Contact your telephone
company for information on
downloading services in your area.
Downloading a service is as simple as
dialing the subscription number and
following any voice prompts.
Your phone may be capable of
automatically dialing out to update
your subscribed features and services.
For more information on this ability,
contact your telephone company.
Some services may be available by
dialing them directly. You do not
have to download these services, but
you may wish to save them in your
Directory.

Note: Some options, such as the call

timer, may be disabled when

you are using a service.

Troubleshooting

What are services, and how do
I use them?

Services are provided by your telephone
company, and include basic features such
as Caller ID

. Other services can be

accessed through the 

Í

 

key,  and

may include services such as Call
Forwarding

 and Voice Mail

. Before using

your services, you must activate them by
contacting your local telephone company.
See the section “Using Services” for
more information.

I’m having trouble with
services I have subscribed to –
how do I get help?

Usually your telephone company supplies a
special number to call for activation of
your services. When you call this number,
you must follow the recorded instructions
carefully. This allows the telephone
company’s system to recognize your
phone and customize it with the services
you have subscribed to. If you have any
activation problems call your local
telephone company.

Why are there no prompts on
the screen when a Call Waiting
call comes in?

You must subscribe to Call Waiting
Identification

 from your telephone

company.

Why is the light not coming on
with a new Voice Mail Message?

You must subscribe to the “Visual”
Message Waiting

 service from your

telephone company for this function to
work.

Why don’t numbers I return
from the Callers List connect?

Incoming calls are recorded with the area
code attached, whether they are long
distance or local calls. You must remove
the area code from local calls in order to
call from the Callers List, or use the Area
Code option in the options list to have
local area codes automatically removed.
See the section “Customizing your
phone
” for information about the Area
Code option.
Alternatively, you may need to add ‘1’
before long distance numbers in order to
dial long distance.

Why is my display blank?

Ensure that the power adaptor is fully
plugged into the electrical outlet, and that
the outlet is supplying power (you can test
this with another electrical device, such as
a lamp).

How do I set the time and
date?

If you subscribe to the Caller ID

 service,

the first incoming call will update the
phone with the correct time & date.
Otherwise, use the Time/Date option in
the options list to manually set the time
and date.

Why can I only see 4 options
when the user guide says there
are 6?

The telephone screen will only show 4
options at a time. To see more, press the
down arrow button 

˘

.

How do I remove the stand
from the phone?

Place one hand on top of the phone, and
place the other hand on the top of the
stand. Pull the stand away from the
telephone. You will have to pull quite
forcefully, but this will not break the stand.

Can I turn the light on the
screen off?

No. You can only adjust the contrast of the
display.

Why are Callers not
identified on the display?

Caller ID information usually arrives
between the first and second ring. Let the
telephone ring at least once before
answering. Make sure you subscribe to
Caller ID

 services from your local

telephone company.

Why can’t I dial a number in
the Callers List?

You must subscribe to a Caller ID

 service

for names and/or numbers to be recorded
in the Callers List. If the number of the
caller is unknown or private, you cannot
return the call. Or, the number may
require an area code. Press the 

EditNum

softkey to edit the number, then press the

Dial

 softkey.

Why can’t I hear a caller or be
heard?

Increase the receiver or speaker volume.
Make sure the handset cord is inserted
securely into the jack. If the speaker light is
flashing, the call is muted; press the

ß

 key to turn mute off; the light

will be steady and not flashing.

Why does the telephone
wobble?

Make sure the cords are routed properly
through the stand, as indicated in the
Installation section. Check that the stand
has been properly snapped into place.

 services. When you are on a call,

and another call comes in on Call Waiting,
you can press the 

Hold Msg

 softkey to

send a network message to the caller. The
message will ask the caller to hold, and tell
them that you will be with them shortly.
You can then answer the call at your
convenience. Contact your local telephone
company for activation information.

telephone company for activation
information.

What is a softkey?

There are three keys on both the left and
right side of the display. They do different
things, depending on the command
displayed next to them. See the section
How do I use softkeys?” for more
information.

If you’ve read this owner’s manual and consulted the Troubleshooting section and still
