Caller ID number auto edit feature

Once you call back an edited number (see “Editing a caller’s phone number before calling back”), the unit can automatically edit other incoming phone numbers each time you receive a call.

For example, you can use this feature to set the unit to ignore the area code of callers in your area code, so that you can call these local numbers using caller information without dialing the area code. To activate this feature, you must edit an item in the caller list (see “Editing a caller’s phone number before calling back”), then call that number. After that, calls from that caller’s area code will be edited automatically.

This feature can be turned on or off (page 32). The default setting is ON.

Note:

LThe handset can remember up to 4 area codes to be edited. Phone numbers from the 4 most recently edited area codes will be automatically edited.

LThis feature will not be activated until edited numbers are called back.

LIf you move to another area, you can turn this feature off to erase previously edited area codes. To use this feature again, turn it on and reprogram the area codes you want to edit once again.

Items in the caller list can be stored into the phonebook.
