Caller ID number auto edit feature

Once you call back an edited number (see “Editing a caller’s phone number before calling back” on page 35), the unit can automatically edit other incoming phone numbers each time you receive a call. For example, you can use this feature to set the unit to ignore the area code of callers in your area code, so that you can call these local numbers using caller information without dialing the area code. To activate this feature, you must edit an item in the caller list (see “Editing a caller’s phone number before calling back” on page 35), then call that number. After that, calls from that caller’s area code will be edited automatically. This feature can be turned on or off (page
