the time manually, or

be set automatically only if
you subscribe to caller ID

local telephone company
(page 24). The date and
time for the answering
machine need to be set
separately (page 31).
2. Caller ID will not set the
year. See page 31 for
instructions on how to set
the year.
HOME AREA CODE
NOTE: If, in the future,
your telephone service
provider requires you to
dial 10 digits to make a
local call (area code +
phone number), program
your home area code to
000.
