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
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:
1. Press MENU/
2. Press or
CID
3. Press or
CID
4. Use the dialing keys to enter a three-digit home area code.
Press

Press and hold

MENU
Note: If in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial ten 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 caller ID log. With
the home area code displayed, press and hold
/SELECT. The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
