About Home Area Code and Local Area Codes
Always program your Home Area Code, and, if you need them, up to four Local Area Codes. (See “Program Home Area Code”on page 7 for information about the Home Area Code). Programming these area codes changes how numbers are displayed in the call history, and allows for correct operation of the Display Dial feature.
Refer to the chart below to determine whether you will need to program Local Area Codes after you install your phone.

If you dial 10 digits (area code plus phone number) for calls within your own area code, include your area code as a Local Area Code.
Use the softkeys to select the area code you want to program
(LOCAL1–LOCAL4), then use the keypad to enter each area code.
Use the softkey to select DONE.
If you don’t program your Home Area Code, the system will continue
to display the Home Area Code entry screen, and will be unable to display Caller ID information. If you try to exit area code programming without entering a Home Area Code, you will hear an error tone.

About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This unit keeps a record of the names and numbers of the last 99 calls, whether you answer the phone or not.
For each call that comes in, the screen displays the following information between the first and second rings:
•Your caller’s name (15 letters are sent by your telephone company);
•The caller’s area code and telephone number (the area code is not displayed if it is programmed as the Home Area Code);
•The time and date of the call; and
•The position of the call in call history.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will not be in the call history.
Headset Jack
You can use this telephone hands-free when you install any industry standard 2.5 mm headset, purchased separately. For best results, use an AT&T 2.5 mm headset.
Plug the headset into the jack. Do not force the connection, but make sure the plug fits securely.
Data Port
If you want to connect another device (such as a modem, fax machine, answering system, or cordless extension phone) to a wall jack used by this phone, you can use the jack on the back of the phone labeled DATA L2. The data port uses Line 2; a call picked up on Line 2 at another extension may interrupt data, fax, or message transmission.
