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 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 make a call from the caller ID log. If you
dial 10 digits to make a local call, do not use this home area code feature.
If you do, you will not be able to place calls from your caller ID log because
they have only 7 digits.
Press MENU/SELECT when the handset is idle.
Press
CID or
DIR to scroll to Settings, then press
MENU/SELECT.
Press
CID or
DIR to scroll to Home area code, then
press MENU/SELECT.
Use the dialing keys to enter your 3-digit area code.
Press MUTE/DELETE to erase digits while editing.
Press MENU/SELECT to save the setting.
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 MUTE/DELETE. The home
area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _(empty). Press MENU/SELECT to save.
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.
