Seven-Digit Dialing
If you can make a local call by dialing only 7 digits (instead of 10), you can program your local area code in to your phone. If you
get a call from within your area code, you'll only see the 7-digit phone number. If you get a call from outside your area code,
you'll see all 10 digits. To enter an area code, follow the steps below:
1) Press the MENU soft key. Select the GLOBAL SETUP menu, and then the AREA CODE submenu.
2) Use the number keypad (0-9) to enter a 3-digit area code. If an area code has already been stored, it will appear in the display.
Press the DELETE soft key to delete the stored code, and then enter a new one.
3) Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.
