Telephone base settings

Home area code

If you dial local calls using only seven digits (area code not required), you can program your home area code so that when you receive a call within your local area, the telephone number is automatically stored without the area code in the call log.

To change the setting:

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.
