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 local calls from your caller ID log, as they will have only seven digits.

To set the home area code on a cordless handset:

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

2.Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Settings, then press

MENU/SELECT.

3. Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Home area code, then press MENU/SELECT.

4.Use the dial pad keys to enter a three-digit home area code. Press MUTE/DELETE to delete a digit while entering,

or press and hold MUTE/DELETE to delete all digits.

5. Press MENU/SELECT to save and return to the main menu. There is a confirmation tone. Press OFF/CLEAR to cancel.

NOTE: If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to

dial 10 digits to make a local call (area code plus telephone number), you need to delete your home area code and dial out locally from the call log. 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 _ _ _(empty).

Dial mode

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.

To set the dial mode on a cordless handset:

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

2.Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Settings, then press

MENU/SELECT.

3.Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Dial mode, then press

MENU/SELECT.

4.Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Tone or >Pulse, then press

MENU/SELECT. There is a confirmation tone. Press OFF/CLEAR to cancel.
