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 ten 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.
