STORING YOUR AREA CODE
To dial a number from a Caller ID record (see “Dialing Numbers
from a Caller ID Record” on Page 29), you must first store your
local area code in the phone’s memory. When you dial from a
Caller ID record, the system skips the area code if it matches
the one you stored. Follow these steps to store your area code.
