STORING YOUR
AREA CODE
You can store your local area code in the
phone’s Caller ID record so it does not show
the area code if the received call is from your
local area. If for some reason you need to
dial the area code (or store it in the memory),
you can add it afterwards. See “Adding/De-
leting the Area Code” on Page 20.
Note: If your calling area requires 10-digit di-
aling including area code, do not enter the
area code but leave this option blank.
Follow these steps to store your area code.
