Home area code
If you dial seven digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter
your area code into the telephone as 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 make a call from the caller ID history.
If you dial 10 digits to make a local call, do not use this home area code
feature. If you do, you will not be able to place calls from your caller ID
history because they have only seven digits.
