Telephone settings
Use caller ID to automatically set date and time
You can choose if the date and time are automatically set by incoming  
caller ID. The default setting is on. 
1. When the telephone base is in idle mode, press 
MENU/SELECT to enter the main menu.
2. Press q/CID or p/DIR to scroll to >Settings, then 
press MENU/SELECT.
3. Press q/CID or p/DIR to scroll to >Set date/time, 
then press MENU/SELECT.
4. Press q/CID or p/DIR to scroll to >CID time sync, 
then press MENU/SELECT.
5. Press q/CID or p/DIR to highlight On or Off, 
then press MENU/SELECT to confirm. You hear a 
confirmation tone. 
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 on the telephone base:
1.  Press MENU/SELECT in the idle mode to enter the main menu.
2.  Use q/CID or p/DIR to scroll to >Settings, then press 
MENU/SELECT. 
3.  Use q/CID or p/DIR to scroll to >Home area code, 
then press MENU/SELECT. 
4.  Use the dial pad keys to enter a three-digit home area 
code. Press X/DELETE to delete a digit while entering, or 
press and hold X/DELETE to delete all digits. 
5.  Press MENU/SELECT to save and return to the main menu. 
There is a confirmation tone. Press CANCEL to cancel.
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 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).
