“Out of area”: The caller dialed from 
an area which does not provide Caller ID 
service.
“Private caller”: The caller 
requested not to send caller information.

information, please contact your 
telephone company.
LIf you subscribe to both Caller ID and 
Call Waiting with Caller ID services

while talking, a call waiting tone will be 
heard and the second caller’s

calling back using the handset”), the unit 
can automatically edit other incoming 
phone numbers each time you receive a

set the unit to ignore the area code of 
callers in your area code, so that you can 
call these local numbers using caller 
information without dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an 
item in the caller list (see “Editing a caller’s 
phone number before calling back using 
the handset”), then call that number. After 
that, calls from that caller’s area code will 
be edited automatically. 
This feature can be turned on or off 
(page 42). The default setting is ON.
Note:
LThe handset can remember up to 4 area 
codes to be edited. Phone numbers from 
the 4 most recently edited area codes 
will be automatically edited.
LThis feature will not be activated until 
edited numbers are called back.
LIf you move to another area, you can 
turn this feature off to erase previously 
edited area codes. To use this feature  Example:
