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 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 on a cordless handset:
1. Press MENU/
2. Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Settings, then press

NOTE: If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to
dial 10 digits to make a local call (area code plus telephone number), you need to delete
your home area code and dial out locally from the call log. With the home area code
displayed, press and hold X/DELETE until the digits are deleted, and then press
/SELECT. The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _(empty).
