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 the telephone base:
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 X DELETE to delete digits while entering.
4. Press
MENU
/SELECT to save and return to the main
menu.
NOTES:
1. 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 X DELETE until the digits are deleted, and then press
MENU
/SELECT. The
home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _.
2. The home area code settings are common to the telephone base and the handsets. Setting the
home area code on one sets the home area code for all.
