Caller ID Number Auto Edit Feature  
There are 3 patterns of phone number ( ,   and  , p. 30). This feature allows 
your phone to automatically edit an in-coming Caller ID number into a pattern of 
your choice, and display the Caller ID number with that pattern.
After this feature is activated, Caller ID numbers coming from specific area codes 
(201, for example), from which the Caller ID numbers have been chosen to follow 
the desired pattern (7-digit pattern, for example), will be automatically edited from 
other patterns (11-digit pattern, for example) into the same pattern you have 
previously selected (which is 7-digit pattern, in this example).
Up to 4 area codes can be designated for this feature for pattern  ,   and  
  
(p. 30).
To activate this feature, you must (1) set this feature to ON, and (2) make an out-
going call from Caller List (p. 29) with a number which has one of the 3 patterns that 
you have edited with specific area codes, and that you prefer to be followed by 
future Caller ID numbers, so that in the future all the Caller ID numbers coming from 
the same area code will be displayed in the same pattern.
The Caller ID number Auto Edit feature is preset at the factory to ON. 
•If a call does not go through, the phone number you dialed may have an incorrect 
pattern. Please edit the phone number with another pattern (p. 30).
For example, if you move to another area, you may need to turn this feature OFF to 
erase previously edited area codes. Then, if still necessary, you may activate this 
feature again.   
•When the feature is set to OFF, the unit will still be able to display Caller ID, but the 
in-coming Caller ID number will not be edited by a pattern or area codes.
