You may, however, live in a region where for calls within your own area
code, you must dial 10 digits (that is, the three-digit area code and phone
number). If this applies to you, enter "000" for the Home Area Code and
enter your area code as a Local Area Code. After programming, if you
receive a call from within your area code, the screen displays the 10 digits
of the phone number. When you use Display Dial, the unit will know to
dial your area code along with the seven digits of the telephone number
(and "1" if appropriate).
Be sure to follow the directions on page 20 for programming the Home
Area Code.
Local Area Code: Most users dial 11 digits to make calls outside their
Home Area Code. These users do not need to program any Local Area
Codes.
However, if you dial only 10 digits to make calls to some areas outside
your Home Area Code (without dialing "1"), then program these Local Area
Codes into the unit (up to five Local Area Codes can be programmed).
See page 20 for directions.
After programming, if you receive a call from one of these Local Area Codes,
the screen displays the 10 digits of the phone number. When you use
Display Dial, the unit will dial the 10 digits, without inserting a "1" before
the area code.
Line Group: A group of 964 phones sharing some lines within a multi-phone
system.
Navigation buttons: These are the buttons used when programming

E, S).
Prime Line: This is the line on your phone you designate to be selected
automatically when you lift the handset, press K or h.

Auto-Attendant: This is a phone (within your 964 multi-phone system)
that you designate to pick up a ringing line automatically after a selected
number of rings. The Auto-Attendant plays the selected outgoing message,
and redirects the call if the caller dials an extension number. You can
designate up to 12 Auto-Attendants in your system.
CID: This stands for Caller Identification, which is a subscriber service,
available from most local telephone companies for a fee. When you
subscribe to Caller Identification, you can see who's calling before you
answer the phone if you and the caller are both in areas offering Caller ID
service with compatible equipment.
Caller ID with Call Waiting: This is a single combined subscriber service
which may be available from your local telephone company. If you subscribe
to this service you can use your 964 telephone system to see who's calling
even while you are on another call (as long as your caller is in an area with
Caller ID service and both telephone companies use compatible equipment).
Centrex Service: A special subscriber service which may be available
from your local telephone company for a fee. The 964 telephone system

D-TAD: Digital Telephone Answering Device is the sophisticated tapeless
answering system built into the 964 telephone system.
Home Area Code: This is the area code for your telephone number. Most
users simply dial the seven digits of a phone number to make a call within
their own area code and 11 digits outside of their area code. If this applies
to you, you should enter your own area code into the unit as the Home Area
Code. After programming, if you receive a call from within your Home Area
Code, the screen will display the seven digits of the phone number. When
you use Display Dial, the unit will know to ignore the Home Area Code, and
dial only the seven digits of the phone number.
