view the caller list to see who called while 
you were out.
Example: Handset off the base unit

“Voice Mail” instead of “missed 
calls”.

Caller ID number auto edit feature
Once you call back an edited number (see 
“Editing a caller’s phone number before 
calling back”), the unit can automatically 
edit other incoming phone numbers each

For example, you can use this feature to 
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”), 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 
32). 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 
again, turn it on and reprogram the area 
codes you want to edit once again.
