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 calls from your caller ID log as they have
only seven digits.
To set the home area code on a cordless handset:
1. Press
MENU/
SELECT
in the idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Use q CID or DIRp to scroll to >HOME AREA CODE, then
press
MENU
/SELECT.
3. Use the dial pad keys to enter a three-digit home area code.
Press
MUTE
/DELETE to delete digits while entering.
4. Press
MENU
/SELECT to save and return to the main menu.
NOTE: If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial 10 digits to make
a local call (area code + phone number), you need to delete your home area code. With the
home area code displayed, press and hold
MUTE
/DELETE until the digits are deleted, and
then press
MENU
/SELECT. The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _.
