displayed depends on how the telephone 
number is displayed in step 2.
5To call the edited number, press [C] or [s].
• If Caller ID Number Auto Edit is turned on (factory preset is on), phone 
numbers with the same area code as the number you edited will now be 
edited in the Caller List and each time you receive a call.

activate the Auto Edit feature without actually dialing the number you just 
edited.

Book” on page 32, from step 4.
