OVERVIEW

STEP ONE

Activate your connection

Call Spark on 0800 785 785 to activate your connection. You’ll need your Spark Wireless Number which was sent to you by email. Your Spark Wireless Number will look like 027XXXXXXX. In most cases, your connection should be activated in just a few minutes, but it can take up to 4 hours. For the best connection, put your modem on a windowsill or close to a window.

Plug it into a power outlet using the black cable provided in the box.

Wait 15 seconds for the symbol to light up. This will change from red to blue

when you’re connected.

If you don’t see the light change from

red to blue, turn your modem off and on again to activate your connection.

Great! You’re connected!

STEP TWO

Plug your modem in and power it up BLACK CABLE Wireless Landline doesn’t require you to plug your phone into a jackpoint in the wall. Unplug your home phone from the jackpoint and remove the existing phone cable. There is a new grey phone cable in the box to connect your phone to the modem. Plug one end of this into your phone. Next, plug the other end into the on the back of the modem.

You will now hear a dial tone and be able to make and receive calls like normal. If you can’t hear a dial tone, turn your modem off and on again to activate your connection. Then you’re good to go.

You’re done – make a call!

STEP THREE

If you’ve ordered Landline – connect your home phone

How to configure your Wireless Landline feature settings

Some of the Wireless Landline features require you to enable them. For example, you can specify which number you would like your incoming calls to be diverted to. You can also activate or disable the features and change the settings in MySpark or by using quick dial codes (see page 7 of this guide).

MySpark

You can see your current settings by logging in to MySpark – spark.co.nz/myspark Note: The Simultaneous Ring feature must be setup and managed via MySpark. There are no quick dial codes that can be used to setup and activate this feature.

Using Quick Dial Codes

A quick dial code is a short numeric code that you can enter into your phone to configure some features To use a quick dial code:

1. Dial the appropriate code on the phone followed by the # key. These are listed on page 7 of this guide. 2. Listen to the prompt and enter any additional values that may be required.

For example, to hide your number, press *26#. You’ll then hear an automated message: “Your calling line ID blocking service is now set to hide your identity. Thank you”.

Automatic Call Back

With this feature, you can call back the last person who called you, whether or not the call was answered, using a quick dial code: *69# or 1469#. Note: Call Back will fail if the calling number is unavailable or withheld/restricted.

Call Barring

You can restrict outgoing calls from your phone to stop anyone making chargeable calls from home. The Call Barring options include:

• All calls allowed.

• Don’t allow calls to National, Mobile, International or 0900 numbers. • Don’t allow calls to International numbers. • Don’t allow calls to Mobile, International or 0900 numbers. • Don’t allow calls to 0900 numbers. Note: Only one option/setting can be selected at a time. You can control your Call Barring using a quick dial code (please see page 7 of this guide), followed by the profile number between (0-4, as per the below table) and the 4-digit PIN code. The default pin is 1212. You may choose to change your PIN code via MySpark.

Call Diversion/Call Forward

Call Diversion gives you the ability to divert your incoming calls to somewhere else, be it to another mobile, another landline or even overseas number. There are four ways you can do this:

• Immediate Call Diversion – all your calls go to the number you’ve chosen;

• Call Diversion if not answered – the call goes to your phone first. If there’s no reply after preconfigured time, your call will diverted to another number;

• Call Diversion if busy – calls are only diverted if the phone is busy.

• Selective Call Diversion – only divert calls from selected numbers you have chosen. You can specify up to 12 numbers, so when you receive calls from any of these numbers the call will be diverted. You can also choose to divert calls from private numbers or when the calling number is unavailable. You can control your Call Diversion setting via MySpark or by dialing the quick dial codes below. • To activate Immediate Call Diversion and set up the destination number, dial *17# or 1417#.

With confidential listing, your number will also be hidden when you ring someone.

Hide My Number
