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.
1.  Press MENU/SELECT when the handset is idle.

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.
