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 log. 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 log, as they
will have only seven digits.
To set the home area code:
Press MENU/SELECT on the handset in idle mode to enter the main menu.
Press CID or DIR to highlight Directory, then press MENU/SELECT.
Press MENU/SELECT to choose Home.
Press CID or DIR to highlight Home area code, then press
MENU/SELECT.
Use the dialing keys to enter the desired home area code.
Press MUTE/DELETE to erase a digit.
Press and hold MUTE/DELETE to erase all digits.
Press CID to move the cursor to the left or DIR to the right.
Press MENU/SELECT 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), you will need to delete your home area
code. With the home area code displayed, press and hold MUTE/
DELETE
. The home area
code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
