If you dial seven digits to make a local call (no

home area code, the caller ID history will only
display the seven digits of the telephone number.
1. Press MENU/SELECT in the idle mode to enter
the handset main menu.

digit while entering.
4. Press MENU/SELECT to save and return to the
main menu.
NOTE: If, in the future, your telephone service provider
requires you to dial 10 digits to make a local call (area
code + phone number), re-program the home area code
by following the steps above. With the home area code
displayed, press and hold DELETE/MUTE to remove the
contents. The home area code will now be restored to its
default setting of

Temporary ringer silencing
Press OFF/CLEAR or DELETE/MUTE while the
telephone is ringing to silence the ringer temporarily.
This will silence the ringer without disconnecting the
call. The next incoming call will ring normally at the
preset volume.
NOTE: Each handset will ring when there is an incoming
call unless the ringer volume is turned off. Pressing
OFF/CLEAR or DELETE/MUTE on one handset will only
silence the ringer of that particular handset.
