Home area code

If you dial seven digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter your area code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive a call from within your home area code, the caller ID history only displays the seven digits of the telephone number.

This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID history. If you dial 10 digits to make a local telephone call, do not use this home area code feature. If you do, you will not be able to place calls from your caller ID history as they have only seven digits.

1.Press MENU/SELECT in the idle mode to enter the main menu.

2.Press DIR or CID to scroll to >SETTINGS, then press MENU/SELECT.

3.Press DIR or CID to scroll to >HOME AREA CODE, then press MENU/SELECT.

NOTE: If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial 10 digits to make a local call (area code + telephone number), you will need to delete your home area code. While the home area code displaying in Step 4 above, press and hold MUTE/DELETE. The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).

The dial mode is preset to tone dialing. If you have pulse (rotary) service, you must change the dial mode to pulse dialing before using the telephone.
