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.
The screen briefly 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 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 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 call 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 restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
