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

You may, however, live in a region where for calls within your own area code, you must dial 10 digits (that is, the area code and phone 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 you receive a call from within your area code, the screen displays the 10 digits of the phone number.

Be sure to follow the directions under Program home and local area codes on page 38 during feature setup.

Line group: A group of system phones sharing some lines within a multi-phone system.

Local area code: Most users dial 11 digits to make calls outside their home 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 some areas outside your home area code (without dialing 1), then program these local area codes into the phone. Up to five local area codes can be programmed. See Program home and local area codes on page 38 during feature setup for instructions.

After programming, if you receive a call from one of these local area codes, the screen displays the 10 digits of the phone number.

Navigation buttons: These are the buttons used when programming your 974 phone and for scrolling through feature options (E, +, -, >, <).

Phone system: Two or more system phones combined to form an interacting system of shared lines. You can have up to 16 phones in the system.

NOTE: If you have one or more 964, 955, or 944 phone(s) installed in the same phone system with this 974 telephone, you can have only 12 extensions in the phone system.

Prime line: This is the line on your phone you designate to be selected automatically when you lift the handset, press K, or press h.

System phone: Any 944, 945, 955, 964, 974 or 984 phone in your phone system (also called an extension).
