Home area code
If you dial 7 digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter your
area code into the telephone as home area code. When you receive a call
from within your home area code, the caller ID log only displays the 7 digits
of the telephone number.
This feature makes it easy for you to make a call from the caller ID log. If you
dial 10 digits to make a local call, do not use this home area code feature.
If you do, you will not be able to place calls from your caller ID log because
they have only 7 digits.
