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:
Press MENU in idle mode.
Press CID or DIR to highlight Directory, then press SELECT.
When Home is highlighted, press OPTION.
Press CID or DIR to highlight Home area code, then press
SELECT. The screen briefly shows Only for 7 digits dialing
from Caller ID log.
Use the dialing keys to enter a three-digit home area code.
Press CID or DIR to move the cursor to the left
or right.
Press MUTE/DELETE on the handset, or press
X/DELETE on the telephone base to erase a digit.
Press and hold MUTE/DELETE on the handset, or
press and hold X/DELETE on the telephone base to erase all digits.
Press SAVE to confirm. You hear a confirmation tone and the screen shows
Area code will not show in Caller ID log 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 + telephone number), you will need to delete your home area code.
With the home area code displayed, press and hold MUTE/
DELETE
on the handset or
press and hold X/
DELETE
on the telephone base until the digits are deleted, and then
press SAVE. The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
