Home area code
If you dial seven 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
seven digits of the telephone number.
This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID history. 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 history, as
they will have only seven digits.
To set the home area code:
Press the MENU softkey on the handset in idle mode to
enter the main menu.
Press or to highlight DIRECTORY, then press the
SELECT softkey.
Press the SELECT softkey to choose Home.
Press or to highlight Home area code, then press the
SELECT softkey.
Use the dialing keys to enter the desired home area code.
Press OFF/CLEAR to erase a digit.
Press to move the cursor to the right or to
the left.
Press the SET softkey to confirm. You hear a
confirmation tone.
NOTE: If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial 10 digits
to make a local call (area code + telephone number), or, if you move to a location that
requires it, delete your home area code following the steps above. After you have deleted
the home area code, _ _ _ appears on the handset.
