SETTING THE AREA CODE

When you return a call from a Caller ID record (see “Dialing Numbers from a Caller ID Record” on Page 28), your phone automatically dials 1, the area code, and the number. However, if you store your area code into memory and the number you call has the same area code, the ET-521 only dials the 7-digit lo- cal number.

Follow these steps to set the local area code.

Note: If you do not press a key within 15 seconds during these steps, the display clears and you must start again at Step 1.

1.Pres SETUP. The language selection display appears.

2.Press REVIEW t or s twice. The cur- rently entered area code (or ---) appears.

3.Enter your 3-digit area code, then press SETUP to store it.

Note: If you make a mistake while setting the area code, press DELETE and re-enter the area code.

SETTING THE RINGERS

You can easily set the handset and base ringers to fit your personal needs.

Notes:

•Even with the base and handset ringers off, you can make or receive calls using this phone, and tele- phones on the same line still ring when there is an incoming call. The IN USE indicator on the base and the TALK indicator on the handset flash until you answer the call.

•If the base’s ringer is off and the handset is on the base, the handset does not ring.

Checking/Setting the Handset Ringer

You can set the ET-521’s handset to sound any of three ring types or you can turn off its ringer. Follow these steps to check the current ringer type, and change it if desired.

1.Press SETUP.

2.Repeatedly press REVIEW s or t un- til the handset rings and Ringer PAT (ringer pattern) and the current setting appear.
