To edit a telephone number

You can edit a phone number into one of 3 patterns to call back or store it into the directory. Press {*} repeatedly after step 2 on page 42. Each time you press {*}, the telephone number will be changed as follows:

1 Local telephone number only

2 Area code – Local telephone number

3 1 – Area code – Local telephone number

LThe order in which patterns 1–3are

displayed depends on how the telephone number is displayed in step 2 on page 42.

LTo return a call, press {DIGITAL SP- PHONE}.

LTo store the number in the directory, follow from step 3 of the base unit storing procedure on page 45.

Note:

LIf a 7-digit number comes without editing, you

cannot edit that 7-digit number.

LThe unit provides an auto edit feature for Caller ID numbers. For details, see page 43.

3.10Caller ID number auto edit feature

This feature allows the unit to automatically edit incoming phone numbers, and display or store phone numbers using a preset pattern of your choosing. (These 3 patterns are explained on page 42, 43, 1, 2, and 3.) For example, you may want the unit to ignore the area code of calls originating from your area code, so that you can call these numbers without dialing the area code. Once you have set a telephone number to be edited according to pattern 1 or 2, all other numbers from the same area code will be automatically edited according to the same pattern. The unit can remember up to 4 area codes to be edited according to patterns 1 and 2.

To activate this feature, you must first set this feature to ON, then make an outgoing call from the Caller ID list to a number which you have assigned to one of the auto edit patterns.

This feature can be turned ON using either the handset or the base unit. The default setting is ON.

Caller ID numbers will not be automatically edited.
