To use this feature, you may need to change your phone service. Contact your local phone service provider if you have: · no Caller ID or Call Waiting service · either Caller ID or Call Waiting as a single service · both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service). You can also use this product with regular Caller ID service or no Caller ID services. To turn off this phone's Caller ID with Call Waiting feature, see the FEATURE SETUP section of this manual. There may be fees for Caller ID services, and such services may not be available in all areas. This phone can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. About Home and Local Area Codes Always program your home area code, and, if you need them, your local area codes (up to four -- see page 9). Programming these area codes will change how numbers are displayed in the call history, and will allow for correct operation of the Display Dial feature (see page 39). If you dial 7 digits (phone number, no area code) 10 digits (area code + phone number) -- OR -- 11 digits (1 + area code + phone number) If you dial 11 digits (1 + area code + phone number) 10 digits (area code + phone number) For Calls within your home area code Calls within your home area code Enter as Home Code Your home area code 000 For All calls outside your home area code Some calls outside your home area code Enter as Local Codes No Local Area Codes Area codes that do not require a "1" If you dial 10 digits (area code plus phone number) for calls within your own area code, include your area code as a Local Area Code. 3 INSTALLATION Before You Install Choose a location for the base near an electrical outlet and a telephone jack. This phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard electrical outlet (110v AC) not controlled by a wall switch.
