For assistance, please call: 1-800-211-PANA(7262)
Basic Operation
Caller ID Number Auto Edit 
Once you call back an edited number (p. 26), this unit can automatically edit 
incoming phone numbers from the same area code in the Caller List and each time 
you receive a call. For example, it can ignore the area code of calls originating from 
your area code, so that you can call these numbers from the Caller List without 
dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit a caller’s phone number in the Caller List 
(p. 26) by selecting pattern F, G, or H, then make a call to that number. Calls 
from numbers in that area code will be edited automatically. The unit can remember 
up to 4 area codes to be edited according to patterns F and G. 
When more than 5 area codes are edited, older area codes are reset to pattern H. 
Phone numbers from the 4 most recently edited area codes will be automatically 
edited.
You can turn this feature on or off using the handset. The factory preset is ON.
To turn on or off Caller ID Number Auto Edit feature
•If you fail to reach your destination when making a call, the phone number you 
dialed might have an incorrect pattern. Edit the phone number with another 
pattern (p. 26).
•When this feature is turned off, the unit will still be able to display Caller ID, but 
incoming Caller ID numbers will not be automatically edited.
•If you move to another area you may need to turn this feature off to erase the 
previously edited area codes. To use this feature again, turn it on and reprogram 
the area codes you want to be edited once again.
