Home area code
If you dial 7 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 7 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 7 digits.
To set the home area code:
1. Press MENU/SELECT in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Press CID or DIR to scroll to Settings, then press
MENU/SELECT.
3. Press CID or DIR to scroll to Home area code, then
press MENU/SELECT. The screen briey shows
Only for 7digit dial from CID.
4. Use the dialing keys to enter a three-digit home area code.
Press MUTE/DELETE to delete a digit.
Press and hold MUTE/DELETE to delete all digits.
5. Press MENU/SELECT to save. There is a conrmation tone and the screen
shows Area code will not show in CID briey before returning to the
previous menu.
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 caller ID
log. 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 _ _ _ (empty).
