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 log 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 ten 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:
1. Press in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Use or to scroll to Settings, then press .
3. Use or to scroll to Home area code, then press
. The screen briefly shows Only for 7digit dial from
CID.
4. Use the dialing keys to enter a three-digit home area code.
Press
to delete a digit.
Press and hold
to delete all digits.
5. Press 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 ten
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 until the digits are
deleted, and then press . The home area code is now restored to
its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
