Caller ID: Caller identification is a subscriber service available from most local telephone companies for a fee. When you subscribe to caller identification, you can see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, if you and the caller are both in areas offering caller ID service with compatible equipment.

Caller ID with call waiting: This is a single, combined subscriber service which may be available from your local telephone company. If you subscribe to

this service, you can use your 993 telephone to see the name and telephone number of the caller even while on another call (as long as the caller is in an area with caller ID service and both telephone companies use compatible equipment).

COVM: Central office voicemail is a subscriber voice message service which may be available from the local telephone company. This service may be called by another name in your area (e.g., call answering or voicemail).

Home area code: This is the area code for your telephone number. Most users simply dial the seven digits of a telephone number to make a call within their own area code and 11 digits outside of their area code. If this applies to you, enter your own area code into the unit as the home area code. After programming, if there is a call from within your home area code, the screen will display the seven digits of the telephone number.

You may, however, live in a region where you are required to dial 10 digits for calls within your area code (area code and telephone number). If this applies to you, enter 000 for the home area code and enter your area code as a local area code. After programming, if there is a call from within your area code, the screen displays the 10 digits of the telephone number. Be sure to follow the directions under Program home and local area codes on page 26 during feature setup.

Local area code: Most users dial 11 digits to make calls outside their own area codes. If this applies to you, you do not need to program any local area codes.

However, if you dial only 10 digits to make calls to areas outside your own area code (without dialing 1), then program these local area codes into the telephone. Up to four local area codes can be programmed. After programming, if there is an incoming call from one of these local area codes, the screen displays the 10 digits of the telephone number. See Program home and local area codes on page 26 for instructions.

Navigation buttons: These are the buttons used when setting up your 993 telephone and for scrolling through the feature options (ENTER, , , , ).

Primary Line: This is the line on your telephone designated to be selected automatically when you lift the handset, press SPEAKER, or press HEADSET.
