3 Initialization.
As soon as you connect the power cord,the system runs a quick self-test. When
the test is complete,the system enters an initial setup mode (this happens only the
first time you plug in the unit). You can change the setup any time by pressing
o(see SET UP SYSTEM FEATURES). The first feature setup you can change is
the language for display messages.
4 Select Display Language.
The current language selection is displayed in the center of the screen. Use the
softkey to select an alternate language for display screen messages. It is pre-set to
English. Select OK to accept English and move to storing the HomeArea Code
— OR —
To change to Spanish,use the left softkey to select ESPANOL. Then select SI when
ESPANOL is displayed in the center of the screen under Idioma/Language.
5 Store Home Area Code.
After you select a language for the display,you’ll need to program your HomeArea
Code into the unit so it can properly recognize and dial calls. Press Cor
cto enter the digits for your HomeArea Code (see note). Select NEXT to
move to the next digit. Select OK to save and move to setting the clock.
NOTE: This procedure for entering your Home Area Code applies to most users (those
who simply dial the seven digits of a telephone number to make a local call). However,
if you live in a region where you must dial 10 or 11 digits for calls within your Home
Area Code, you must enter“000”instead of your Home Area Code in step 5.
