Beyond the Basics

Seven-Digit Dialing
If you can make a local call by dialing only 7 digits (instead of 10),
you can program your local area code into your phone. If you
get a call from within your area code, you’ll only see the 7-digit
phone number. If you get a call from outside your area code,
you’ll see all 10 digits. To enter an area code, follow the steps
below:
Press the MENU soft key. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu,
and then the AREA CODE submenu.
Use the number keypad (0-9) to enter a 3-digit area code. If
an area code has already been stored, it will appear in the
display. Press the DELETE soft key to delete the stored code,
and then enter a new one.
Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.
Traveling Out of Range
During a call, if you move your handset too far away from your
base, noise may increase. If you pass the range limits of the base,
you will hear a beep and see OUT OF RANGE on the display, and
then the handset returns to standby.
