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 log. If you dial 10 digits to make a local phone call, do not use this home area code feature. If you do, you cannot place calls from your caller ID log as they have only seven digits.

To set the home area code on the telephone base:

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

2.Use qCID or DIRp to scroll to >HOME AREA CODE, then press MENU/SELECT.

1.If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial 10 digits to make a local call (area code + phone number), you need to delete your home area code. With the home area code displayed, press and hold X DELETE until the digits are deleted, and then press MENU/SELECT. The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _.

2.The home area code settings are common to the telephone base and the handsets. Setting the home area code on one sets the home area code for all.
