Telephone settings
Use caller ID to automatically set date and time
You can choose if the date and time are automatically set by incoming
caller ID. The default setting is on.
1. When the telephone base is in idle mode, press
MENU/
SELECT
to enter the main menu.
2. Press q /CID or p/DIR to scroll to >Settings, then
press
MENU
/SELECT.
3. Press q /CID or p/DIR to scroll to >Set date/time,
then press
MENU
/SELECT.
4. Press q /CID or p/DIR to scroll to >CID time sync,
then press
MENU
/SELECT.
5. Press q /CID or p/DIR to highlight On or Off,
then press
MENU
/SELECT to confirm. You hear a
confirmation tone.
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 the telephone base:
1. Press
MENU/
SELECT
in the idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Use q /CID or p/DIR to scroll to >Settings, then press
MENU
/SELECT.
3. Use q /CID or p/DIR 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 X/DELETE to delete a digit while entering, or
press and hold X/DELETE to delete all digits.
5. Press
MENU
/SELECT to save and return to the main menu.
There is a confirmation tone. Press CANCEL 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).
