BASIC TELEPHONE OPERATIONS

AREA CODE PROGRAMMING

To benefit from all the Caller ID features
of your telephone, you must enter your
home area code.
If you live in an area where you dial calls
within your own area code by dialing 7
digits (no area code), follow these steps
(with the Handset OFF ):
• Press Program.
• Press until AREA is blinking.
• Press Select.
• HOME should be blinking. If not, press
until it blinks.
• Press Select. ENTER AREA CODE is
displayed.
• Enter your own home area code.
• Press Select.
LESS COMMON ALTERNATIVE
If you live in an area where all local calls
require 10 digits (area code plus phone
number, without dialing "1" first:)
• Press Program.
• Press until AREA is blinking.
• Press Select.
• HOME should be blinking. If not, press
until it blinks.
• Press Select. ENTER AREA CODE
is displayed.
• Enter 000.
• Press Select and continue below.
You may program up to 5 local area
codes. An area code is "local" if you do
not dial "1" when you make calls to that
area code. In other words, you make calls
to "local" area codes by dialing 10 digits
(area code plus phone number) without
a preceding "1". This might include your
own area code
• Press Program.
• Press until AREA is blinking.
• Press Select.
• Press until LOCAL is blinking.
Press Select.
• Press until the desired location is
blinking (#1.....#5).
• Press Select . ENTER AREA CODE is
displayed.

code, use the key to delete the exist-
ing digits, and enter the desired area
code. Press Select when done.

SPEAKERPHONE TIPS

If you use your Speakerphone in a noisy
environment, the other person's voice
may fade out. In this case, try eliminating
the environmental noise (a television or
radio playing, for example). Otherwise,
press Mute while the other person is
speaking. Before you start to talk, press
Mute again so the other person can hear
you.
