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 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 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 calls from your caller ID log as they have
only seven digits.

NOTE:

a local call (area code + phone number), you need to delete your home area code. With the
home area code displayed, press and hold
MUTE
/DELETE
until the digits are deleted, and
then press
MENU
/SELECT
. The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _.
