When your phone is connected
Once the installation and the power-up sequence are complete, your phone
is ready to make and receive calls.
If the display is hard to see, you can adjust it. A button to the right of the
display lets you control the contrast for easy reading in different lighting
conditions.
How to adjust the contrast:
1. Press the CONTRAST button repeatedly until the display is easy to read.
When to set the time and date:
If you subscribe to Call Display, you do not have to set the time and date.
The current time and date appear automatically when the first call comes in.
If you do not subscribe, set the time and date manually using the steps
below.

• If a number is already correct, you can press SAVE to skip to the next item.
• If you make a mistake and want to start over, lift the receiver then hang
up.

You can save emergency numbers and phone numbers of your family and
friends in Vista’s ten memory keys. You can also use the dial pad to save a

How to save a number in a memory key:
1. Press SAVE.
2. Press the memory key where you want to save the number.
3. Use the dial pad to enter the number.
For example, to save 555-1440 , press [5] [5] [5] [1] [4] [4] [0] on the dial pad.

How to save a name when you save a number:

name. In most cases, press once for the first letter on a key, twice for the second
letter, and three times for the third. "S" and "Z" need four key presses. (The chart
at the bottom of the page shows which keys to press for each letter.)

For example, to enter the name "JEAN," you would follow these steps:
For "J," press [5} , then press [->] ; for "E," press [3] [3] , then [->] ;
for "A," press [2] , then [->] ; for "N," press [6] [6] .
• If you wish to change a letter after you've entered it, press [<-] to erase it.
