Home area code

If you dial 7 digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter your area
code into the telephone as home area code. When you receive a call from
within your home area code, the caller ID log only displays the 7 digits of the
telephone number.
This feature makes it easy for you to make a call from the caller ID log. If you
dial 10 digits to make a local call, do not use this home area code feature. If
you do, you will not be able to place calls from your caller ID log because they
have only 7 digits.

now restored to its default setting of _ _ _(empty). Press
