Once you call back an edited number,
the unit which was used to call back
remembers the area code and format of
the edited number. The next time
someone calls from the same area
code, caller information is customized by
the unit as follows:
– When the call is being received, the Caller ID number is displayed in the
same format as the edited number.
– After the call has ended, the caller’s phone number is displayed in the
same format as the edited number,
when reviewed from the caller list.
For example, you can use this feature to
set the unit to ignore the area code of
callers in your area, so that you can call
these local numbers using caller
information without dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an
entry in the caller list, then call that
number. After that, phone numbers from
that caller’s area code are edited
automatically.
This feature can be set for each unit
(page 28). The default setting is  “On ”.
Note:
R Phone numbers from the 4 most
recently edited area codes are
automatically edited.
R If you move to another area, you can
turn this feature off to erase previously
edited area codes. To use this feature
again, turn it on and reprogram the
area codes you want to edit once
again.
