The Smart dialing method will compare the area code of the Caller ID number to your local area code to determine whether to dial 7 digits or 11 digits. NOTE: s Area Code programming will ONLY display when "Smart Dial" is selected as the Dialing Method. If any other method is selected, the Area Code programming option will be hidden. Once the Area Code has been set, it will remain in the system's memory, even if the option is hidden.

DIALING MODE When dialing from Caller ID records, the unit can use one of the following four dialing methods: A) 7/10/11 Digit Dialing - For each call, the unit will prompt you to choose 7-digit, 10-digit, or 11-digit dialing, based on the local telephone company's requirements. This system is useful in areas that sometimes require the user to dial 10 or 11 digits for local dialing. When dialing from a Caller ID record, the LCD will display your choice of 7, 10, or 11 digits. Press "1" to initiate dialing using 7 digits, Press "2" for 10 digits, or Press "3" for 11 digits. B) All 11 Digit Dialing (Always 11)- For each call, the unit will dial 11 digits (a "1" and the area code, followed by the 7 digit number). C) Smart Dialing - For each call, the unit will look at the Caller ID phone number to see if the area code of the number matches your local area code (Note- this feature requires you to enter your area code - see "Programming Area Code"). If the area code does match, the unit will dial only 7 digits. If it does not match, the unit will dial 11 digits. D) Exact Dialing - The unit will always dial the exact digits that are displayed in the Caller ID record.
