Important notes
♦
During registration you MUST NOT pick up the telephone handset (or any
extension phone). Carry out registration at a time when no-one else will be
using the phone.
♦
During registration, if you see 'rolling' numbers
10101010
or a rotating clock
$
at the top left of the display, this means that the
e-m@iler
is
communicating via the internet. Always wait for
10101010
or
$
to disappear
before continuing.
♦
Note that sometimes it takes a few seconds for the entire screen to be
displayed. Always make sure the screen appears
in full
before continuing.
CPS (Carrier Pre-Selection)
If you are using the
e-m@iler
on a
BT
telephone line but with an alternative network
service provider,
CPS
can be used to determine the optimum network for carrying the
various types of calls you make. If you are operating
CPS
, then during the registration
procedure…
♦
at step 3, press letter
O
(for Office), and
♦
at step 8, type in
1280
as the prefix number.
Doing this will make the
e-m@iler
dial the prefix
1280
(in order to disable
CPS
temporarily) before any call for email, texting, faxing, surfing, services or games.
Choosing your email address
During registration you will be asked to choose a
username
– this forms the first part
of your email address. When choosing a username, please bear in mind the following.
Junk email (known as '
spam
') is becoming an ever-greater nuisance these days (note
that spam is
unauthorised
and has nothing to do with Amstrad/Amserve). Spam is sent
by various e-marketing companies, some of whom send spam speculatively – they
automatically generate every conceivable username from
to
, so it helps if you have a longer username or one which
contains a dot or a dash or numbers – these are less likely to be auto-generated. If you
do receive spam,
never
reply to it – even if the message contains an
'unsubscribe'
option or address. Replying to spam will alert the company that they have contacted a
valid email address, after which they will send you even more spam.
