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 the 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 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 seven digits.
To set the home area code on a cordless handset:
1. Press
MENU/
SELECT
in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Use q CID or pDIR to scroll to >Settings, then press
MENU
/SELECT.
3. Use q CID or pDIR to scroll to >Home area code, then
press
MENU
/SELECT.
4. Use the dial pad keys to enter a three-digit home area
code. Press
MUTE
/DELETE to delete a digit while entering,
or press and hold
MUTE
/DELETE to delete all digits.
5. Press
MENU
/SELECT to save and return to the main menu.
There is a confirmation tone. Press OFF/
CLEAR
to cancel.
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 log. With the home area code displayed, press and hold
X/DELETE
until the digits are deleted, and then press
MENU
/SELECT. The home
area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
Dial mode
The dial mode is preset to tone dialing. If you have pulse (rotary) service, you
must change the dial mode to pulse dialing before using the telephone.
To set the dial mode on a cordless handset:
1. Press

SELECT
in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Use q CID or pDIR to scroll to >Settings, then press
MENU
/SELECT.
3. Use q CID or pDIR to scroll to >Dial mode, then press
MENU
/SELECT.
4. Use q CID or pDIR to highlight Tone or Pulse, then press
