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 ten 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.
