Set home and local area codes
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, and when you dial from the caller ID
history, only seven digits are dialed.
This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID history. If
you must dial 10 digits (area code + telephone number) to make a local call,
do not program the home area code. Then, if you receive a call from within
your area code, the screen displays the 10 digits of the telephone number,
and when you dial from the caller ID history, all 10 digits will be dialed.
