Home area code

If you dial seven digits to make a local call (area code not 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.
To set the home area code:
1. Press the MENU softkey on the telephone base in idle
mode to enter the main menu.
2. Press CID or DIR to highlight Directory, then press
the SELECT softkey.
3. Press the SELECT softkey to choose Home.
4. Press CID or DIR to highlight Home area code, then
press the SELECT softkey.
5. Use the dialing keys to enter the desired home
area code.
• Press CANCEL
• Press CID
to the right.
6. Press the SET softkey to confirm. You hear a
confirmation tone.
NOTE: If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial 10 digits
to make a local call (area code + telephone number), or, if you move to a location that
requires it, delete your home area code you have already programmed following the step
above. After you have delete the home area code, _ _ _ appears in the display.
