SETTING THE AREA CODE FOR CALLER ID

Setting your area code is necessary for proper caller ID operation.

Once you set the code, the phone will automatically remove it from local calls within your area before it stores the number in memory. This will enable you to use the Redial feature more efficiently because you will not have to remove the code each time you call that number.

To set your area code:

1.Make sure the phone is OFF.

2.Press ENTER. The Caller ID display on the handset prompts you to enter your area code.

3.Enter your 3-digit area code by pressing the appropriate number keys. The phone emits 2 beeps to confirm it has accepted the area code entry.

4.To change or enter your area code again, follow steps 1-3 above.
