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
Identi

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 may
have to 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.

How do I set the time and date?

update the phone with the correct
time & date. Otherwise, use the
