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 history. If
you dial 10 digits to make a local telephone call, do not use this home area
code feature. If you do, you will not be able to place calls from your caller ID
history as they have only seven digits.
