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 in idle mode.
2. Press CID or DIR to highlight Directory, then press SELECT.

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).
