Program home and local area codes                               
Home area code is the area code for your telephone 
number. Most users dial the seven digits of a telephone 
number to make a call within their own area code and 
 digits outside of their area code. If this applies to you, 
you should enter your own area code into the telephone 
as the home area code. After setting, if you receive a 
call from within your home area code, the screen will 
display the seven digits of the telephone number. You 
may, however, live in a region where you are required to 
dial   0 digits (area code and telephone number) for calls 
within your area code. If this applies to you, enter 000 for 
the home area code and enter your area code as a local 
area code. After setting, if you receive a call from within 
your area code, the screen displays the   0 digits of the 
telephone number.
Most users dial 
  digits to make calls outside their home 
area codes. If this applies to you, it is not necessary to 
set any local area codes. However, if you dial only   0 
digits to make calls to areas outside your home area 
code (without dialing  ), then set these local area codes 
into the telephone. Up to four local area codes can be 
set. After setting, if you receive a call from one of these 
local area codes, the screen displays the   0 digits of the 
telephone number.
Be sure to follow the directions below to set the home 
and local area codes:
Press ENTER to begin feature setup.
Press  until the screen displays CALLER ID.
Press ENTER. The screen displays AREA CODES.
Press ENTER. The screen displays HOME and the 
current setting.
Use the dial pad keys to enter your home area code, 
then press  to save the setting. The screen displays 
LOCAL 1 and the current setting. If it is necessary to 
enter any local area codes, use the dial pad keys and 
then press  to save your entry and scroll to the next 
local area code (LOCAL 2, LOCAL 3 and LOCAL 4).
