Display Dial

NOTE: To use the Display Dial feature, you must follow the directions for “Programming Home and Local Area Codes” in the FEATURE SETUP section of this manual.

As you review calls in call history, you can dial a displayed phone number by pressing Don the handset. The screen displays the number being called. If the screen displays an error indicator (for example Er), you cannot dial any displayed digits.

If the call came from your home area code, then the screen displays only the seven digits of the number you’re calling (without an area code). When you press D, the phone dials the seven displayed digits. You must program your home area code for this to work.

You can also program up to four other local area codes. These are area codes that do not require dialing a “1” before them. After storing these area codes, if you receive a call from one of these area codes, the screen displays the ten digits (three digits of area code plus seven digits of phone number). When you press D, the phone dials ten digits, without inserting a “1” before the area code. If you receive a call from an area code not programmed in the phone, you will see 10 digits on the screen (the area code and the phone number). The phone will automatically dial “1” before the number when you press D.

If you try to use the Display Dial feature, but your call cannot be completed unless you dial “1” before the number, follow the steps below:

1Press <or >to locate the number you want to call.

2Press M.

3Press >until the screen displays DIAL 1+.

4Select DIAL 1+ to dial the number.
