SETTING THE AREA CODE

When you return a call from a Caller ID record (see “Dialing Numbers from a Caller ID Record” on Page 21), your phone automatically dials 1, the area code, and the number. The ET-1105 lets you store one local area code and three neighborhood area codes. If the number you call has the same area code with your local area code, the ET-1105 dials the 7-digit local number. If the number you call has the same area code with one of three neighborhood area codes, the ET-1105 dials the 10-digit local number.

Follow these steps to set area codes.

Note: If you make a mistake or do not press a key within 10 seconds during these steps, start again at Step 1.
