Area code settings
Set 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.

1. Press MENU/SELECT in idle mode.
2. Press p/q to highlight Settings, then
press MENU/SELECT.

code, then press MENU/SELECT.

digit home area code.
• Press p/q to move the cursor to
the left or right.
• Press MUTE/DELETE to erase a
digit.

erase all digits.
5. Press MENU/SELECTto confirm.
NOTE
• If in the future, your telephone service
provider requires you to dial ten
digits to make a local call (area code
+ telephone number), you need to
delete your home area code. While
the home area code is displaying in
Step 4, press and hold MUTE/DELETE.
The home area code is now restored
to its default setting of _ _ _(empty).
