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 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 make a call from the caller ID history. If you dial 10 digits to make a local call, do not use this home area code feature. If you do, you will not be able to place calls from your caller ID history because they have only seven digits.

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

2.Press CID or DIR to scroll to >Settings, then press menu/select.

3.Press CID or DIR to scroll to >Home area code, then press menu/select.

4.Use the dialing keys to enter your three-digit area code. Press mute/delete to erase digits while entering.

5.Press menu/select to save the setting.

HOME AREA CODE

___

note: If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial 10 digits to make a local call (area code + telephone number), you need to delete your home area code. While the home area code is displaying in Step 4 above, press and hold mute/delete. The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _(empty).
