SETTING THE AREA
CODE
When you return a call from a Caller ID
record (see “Dialing Numbers from a
Caller ID Record” on Page 28), your
phone automatically dials 1, the area
code, and the number. However, if you
store your area code into memory and
the number you call has the same area
code, the ET-521 only dials the 7-digit lo-
cal number.
Follow these steps to set the local area
code.
Note: If you do not press a key within 15
seconds during these steps, the display
clears and you must start again at Step
1.
1. Pres SETUP . The language selection
display appears.
2. Press REVIEW t or s twice. The cur-
rently entered area code (or -- - )
appears.
3. Enter your 3-digit area code, then
press SETUP to store it.
Note: If you make a mistake while
setting the area code, press
DELETE
and re-enter the area code.
SETTING THE RINGERS
You can easily set the handset and base
ringers to fit your personal needs.
Notes:
• Even with the base and handset
ringers off, you can make or receive
calls using this phone, and tele-
phones on the same line still ring
when there is an incoming call. The
IN USE indicator on the base and
the TALK indicator on the handset
flash until you answer the call.
• If the base’s ringer is off and the
handset is on the base, the handset
does not ring.
