STORING YOUR AREA
CODE
To quickly dial a number from a Caller
ID record (see “Dialing Numbers from a
Caller ID Record” on Page 26) or to cor-
rectly store a number from a record into
a memory dialing location (see “Storing
a Caller ID Record to Memory” on
Page 26), you must store your local area
code in the TAD-729’s memory. Then,
when you dial from a Caller ID record,
the TAD-729 skips the area code if it
matches the one you stored.
Follow these steps to store your area
code.
1. Lift the handset and hold down
CALL ID until Caller ID Setup
appears on the display with Auto
Talk selected.
