Reviewing Call History
You can review information in the call history at any time by pressing either
< or >, or by pressing U, then selecting CALL ID. The screen displays
the number of calls in the call history and how many, if any, are new. You can
continue to use < or > to scroll through the call history. The screen displays
the name (if your service provides this), number, date, and time of the call
simultaneously, beginning with the most recent call.
When you reach the end of the call history, the screen displays END OF
LIST. Press < or > to continue reviewing the call history.
To exit the review, you can press either softkey or wait 30 seconds.
Display Dial
NOTE: To use the Display Dial feature, you must follow the directions for
“Programming Home and Local Area Codes” in the FEATURE SETUP
section of this manual.
As you review calls in call history, you can dial a displayed phone number by
pressing D on the handset. The screen displays the number being
called. If the screen displays an error indicator (for example Er), you cannot
dial any displayed digits.
If the call came from your home area code, then the screen displays only the
seven digits of the number you’re calling (without an area code). When you
press D, the phone dials the seven displayed digits. You must
program your home area code for this to work.
You can also program up to four other local area codes. These are area codes
that do not require dialing a “1” before them. After storing these area codes, if
you receive a call from one of these area codes, the screen displays the ten
digits (three digits of area code plus seven digits of phone number). When
you press D, the phone dials ten digits, without inserting a “1” before
the area code. If you receive a call from an area code not programmed in the
phone, you will see 10 digits on the screen (the area code and the phone
number). The phone will automatically dial “1” before the number when you
press D.
If you try to use the Display Dial feature, but your call cannot be completed
unless you dial “1” before the number, follow the steps below:
1 Press < or > to locate the number you want to call.
2 Press M.
3 Press > until the screen displays DIAL 1+.
4 Select DIAL 1+ to dial the number.
