Home area code

If you dial 7 digits to make a local call (area code not required), enter your area

code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive a call from

within your home area code, the caller ID history only displays the

7 digits of the telephone number.

This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID log. If you

dial 10 digits to make a local phone call, do not use this home area code

feature. If you do, you cannot place local calls from your caller ID log, as they

will have only 7 digits.

To set the home area code:

Press MENU in idle mode to enter the main menu.

Press CID or DIR on the handset, or press CID or DIR on the

telephone base to highlight Directory, then press SELECT .

Press OPTION to choose Home.

Press CID or DIR on the handset, or press CID or DIR on the

telephone base to highlight Home area code, then press SELECT . The screen

briefly shows Only for 7 digits dialing from Caller ID log.

Use the dialing keys to enter the desired home area code.

Press MUTE/DELETE on the handset, or DELETE/X on the telephone base

to erase a digit.

Press and hold MUTE/DELETE on the handset, or DELETE/X on the

telephone base to erase all digits.

Press CID or DIR to move the cursor to the right or left, or press

CID or DIR on the telephone base to move the cursor to the left or right.

Press SET to save.

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 will need to delete your home area

code. With the home area code displayed, press and hold MUTE/DELETE on the handset, or

DELETE/X on the telephone base and then press SET . The home area code is now restored

to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
