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 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.
2. Press CID or DIR to highlight Settings, then press
MENU/SELECT.
3. Press CID or DIR to highlight Home area code, then
press MENU/SELECT.
4. Use the dialing keys to enter a three-digit home area code.

5. Press MENU/SELECTtoconrm.
Note: If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial 10 digits to make a local call (area code +
telephone number), you need to delete your home area code. While the home area code is displaying in Step 4,
press and hold DELETE. The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _(empty). Press
MENU/SELECT to save.
