STORING YOUR AREA CODE

To quickly dial a number from a Caller ID record (see “Dialing Numbers from a Caller ID Record” on Page 26) or to cor- rectly store a number from a record into a memory dialing location (see “Storing a Caller ID Record to Memory” on Page 26), you must store your local area code in the TAD-729’s memory. Then, when you dial from a Caller ID record, the TAD-729 skips the area code if it matches the one you stored.
