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 history 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.

NOTE: If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to
dial 10 digits to make a local call (area code plus telephone number),

until the digits are deleted, and then press
area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
