Home area code

If you dial seven digits to make a local call (area code not 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 history only displays the
seven digits of the telephone number.

This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID history. 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 history, as
they will have only seven digits.

To set the home area code:

Press the

MENU softkey on the handset in idle mode to

enter the main menu.
Press

to highlight

DIRECTORY, then press the

SELECT softkey.
Press the

SELECT softkey to choose Home.

Press

to highlight

Home area code, then press the

SELECT softkey.
Use the dialing keys to enter the desired home area code.

Press

OFF

/CLEAR

to erase a digit.

Press to move the cursor to the right or to
the left.

Press the

SET softkey to confirm. You hear a

confirmation tone.

NOTE: If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial 10 digits

to make a local call (area code + telephone number), or, if you move to a location that
requires it, delete your home area code you have already programmed following the steps
above. After you have deleted the home area code,

_ _ _ appears in the display.
