Home area code
If you dial 7 digits to make a local call (no area code 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
7 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 7 digits.
To set the home area code:
1. Press
MENU/
�ELECT
in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Use q
CID
or p
DIR
to scroll to >�ettings, then press
MENU
/�ELECT.
3. Use q
CID
or p
DIR
to scroll to >Home area code, then
press
MENU
/�ELECT. The screen briefly shows
Only for 7 digit dial from CID.
4. Use the dialing keys to enter a 3-digit home area code.
Press
MUTE
/DELETE to delete a digit.
Press and hold
MUTE
/DELETE to delete all digits.
5. Press
MENU
/�ELECT to save. There is a confirmation tone
and the screen shows Area code will not show in CID
briefly before returning to the previous menu.
NOTE: If in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial 10 digits to
make a local call (area code plus telephone number), you need to delete your home
area code and dial out locally from the call ID log. With the home area code displayed,
press and hold
MUTE
/DELETE until the digits are deleted, and then press
MENU
/�ELECT.
The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
