Setting the Regional Area Codes

Depending on your area, you may need to set regional area codes. These are needed
in order for the phone to determine the number format to be displayed when a valid
Caller ID signal is received. Calls received that match any of the regional area codes
are displayed as 10 digits. If the number is not displayed correctly, the phone may not
be able to dial back the number properly. You can store up to 6 regional area codes.
You may need to use this feature if you have:
• Multiple area codes
• Overlapping area codes
• Areas that require 10-digit dialing.
