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 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.
