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.
You may, however, live in a region where for calls within your own area code,
you must dial 10 digits (that is, the 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.
Be sure to follow the directions under Program home and local area
codes on page 38 during feature setup.
Line group: A group of system phones sharing some lines within a
multi-phone system.
Local area code: Most users dial 11 digits to make calls outside their home
area codes. If this applies to you, you 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 phone. Up to five local area codes can be programmed. See Program
home and local area codes on page 38 during feature setup for
instructions.
After programming, if you receive a call from one of these local area codes,
the screen displays the 10 digits of the phone number.
Navigation buttons: These are the buttons used when programming
your 974 phone and for scrolling through feature options (E, +, -,
>, <).
Phone system: Two or more system phones combined to form an
interacting system of shared lines. You can have up to 16 phones in
the system.
NOTE: If you have one or more 964, 955, or 944 phone(s) installed in
the same phone system with this 974 telephone, you can have only 12
extensions in the phone system.
Prime line: This is the line on your phone you designate to be selected
automatically when you lift the handset, press K, or press h.
System phone: Any 944, 945, 955, 964, 974 or 984 phone in your phone
system (also called an extension).
