1.Press the MENU softkey when the telephone base is not in use.

2.Press /CID or /DIR to select Settings, then press the SELECT softkey.

3.Press /CID or /DIR to select Home area code, then press the SELECT softkey.

4.Use the dialing keys (0-9) to enter the desired home area code. Press CANCEL to delete a digit.

5.Press the SET softkey to confirm or press the BACK softkey to exit to the previous menu.

If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial the area code when making a local call, or, if you move to a location that requires it, delete the home area code you have already programmed following the steps above. After you delete the home area code, _ _ _ appears in the display.

This model is particularly popular among consumers looking for a versatile and efficient home communication solution. The DS6151 integrates several technologies and characteristics that enhance its usability.

At the core of the DS6151 is its DECT 6.0 technology, which provides superior sound quality and extended range compared to traditional cordless phones.

Additionally, a digital volume control feature allows users to adjust ringer and speaker volume levels for enhanced audio clarity.

The phone's other noteworthy features include caller ID and call waiting capabilities, which help users manage incoming calls effectively.
