Entering Your Area Code If you can make a call by dialing only 7 digits (instead of 10), you can program your local area code in your phone. If you get a call from within your area code, you'll only see the 7-digit phone number. If you get a call from outside your area code, you'll see all 10 digits. 1) When the phone is in standby mode, press and hold the call id/menu key. The following screen appears. 2) Press the M key twice to select Area Code. 3) Press the select/remote key. If an area code was already stored, the phone will display it. 4) Use the number keys (0 - 9) to enter the 3-digit area code. If you make an error, use the delete/chan key to backspace. 5) Press the select/remote key. A confirmation tone sounds. 6) Press the end key to complete the setting. The handset returns to standby mode. Choosing the Dialing Mode Your phone can communicate with the telephone network in two different ways: tone dialing and pulse dialing.
