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 telephone call, do not use this home area
code feature. If you do, you will not be able to place your caller ID history as
they have only seven digits.

Press the dial pad keys to enter your three-digit area
code. Press MUTE/DELETE to delete digits while entering.

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 displaying in Step 4 above, press and hold MUTE/DELETE. The home area code is
now restored to its default settings of _ _ _(empty).
