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:
1. Press
MENU/SELECT in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2.
Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to Settings, then press MENU/SELECT.
3.
Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to Home area code, then press MENU/SELECT.
4. Use the dialing keys to enter a three-digit home area code.
Press X/DELETE to delete a digit.
Press and hold X/DELETE to delete all digits.
5. Press
MENU/SELECT to save.
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 caller ID 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:
1. Press
MENU/SELECT in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Use
qCID or pDIR to scroll to Settings, then press MENU/SELECT.
3. Use
qCID or pDIR to scroll to Dial mode, then press MENU/SELECT.
4. Use
qCID or pDIR to highlight Touch-tone or Pulse, then press
MENU/SELECT.
