Home area code

If you dial your local calls using only

you can program your home area code
so that when you receive a call within
your local area, the telephone number
is automatically stored without the area
code in the caller ID log.
1. Press MENU when the phone is not in
use.
2. Press or to highlight Settings, and
then press SELECT.
3. Press or to highlight Home area
code, and then press SELECT.

three-digit home area code.
5. Press SELECT to save your selection.
Then the handset returns to

NOTE
• If, in the future, your telephone service
provider requires you to dial the area code
when making a local call, or, if you move to
a location that requires it, delete the home
area code you have already programmed,
following the steps above. After you have
deleted the home area code, _ _ _ will
appear on the display.
