SETTINGUSER'S AREA CODE AND NEIGHBORING AREA CODE
In order to use callback function, the user's area code and neighboring area code
must be programmed. Neighbor area code is optional.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE CALLBACK FEATURE AND
AREA CODE SET-UP IN CANADA.
The Excursion® 36247 Callback feature will automatically redial any number from the
Caller ID records. Most telephone service providers in major metropolitan areas in
Canada send the caller ID information in a format which the Excursion® 36247
Callback feature can automatically redial any number (including long distance / toll
numbers) without any changes to the stored number.
The Excursion® 36247 can automatically detect this type of Caller ID information
format. In this situation, there is no need to set the Area Code(s) in the user setup.
Simply review the incoming calls, if the phone numbers in the Call records list
appear exactly as you would dial them, without any changes, then you do not need
to setup the area code for the Callbackfeature.
In rare cases in Canada where the local telephone provider does not send the Caller
ID information in a format which the Callback feature can automatically redial any
number, without any changes to the stored number, the Area Code(s) must be setin
the user setup.
IMPORTANT: Please note that most Canadian phone subscribers will not need to
perform the area code setup!
AREA CODE SETUP (If Needed)
If you don't live in an area where the local phone provider sends Caller ID
information in a format which can automatically redial any number (including long
distance / toll numbers) without any changes to the stored number, up to 3 different
Area Codes can be programmed into the Excursion® 36247.

OWNER＿＿S MANUAL#36247 VER.12229C-1
PAGE: 17 English version
If you don't live in large metropolitan area where 10 digits dialing may be required
into certain area codes, then it may only be necessary to set 1 area code in the
Excursion® 36247 area code setup as indicated below.
Single Area Code Setup
Do this method if you only need to dial 7 or 11 digits numbers. Your User's (Home)
area code is set and all calls dialed using the Callback feature that are called into
your User's (Home) area code, will be dialed as 7 digits. All other calls from outside
area codes will automatically dial as 11 digits (1 + Area Code + Local Number).
Please refer to PROGRAMMING MODE section to set single area code on page 26.
NOTE: If you need to dial calls to your User's (Home) area code and that call being
a toll call (as required in some areas) then the 1 + Area Code can be added back to
the 7 digits number. Please refer to CALLBACK OPTION 2 on page 25.
Multiple Area Code Setup
In some large metropolitan areas, 10 digits dialing may be required into certain
neighboring area codes. In these situations, the phone company will take an existing
area code and split the area code into 2 or 3 area codes. One area code is the
original "User's (Home)" area code and the new "Neighboring" area code(s) are
assigned new area code numbers.
In some cases a new area code is overlayed into the old area and only the new
phone subscribers will be assigned the new neighboring area code number. In either
case, the Excursion® 36247 can automatically dial these numbers using the Callback
feature correctly, even if your local phone number service provider doesn't send ID
information in a format which can automatically redial 7, 10, or 11 digits.
NOTE: If you are not sure how to dial your User's (Home) or adjoining Neighboring
area code, please contact your local phone service provider first before attempting
the area codes setup.
2 Area Code Setup
Your User's (Home) area code can be programmed as 7 or 10 digits Callback. If
your situation was due to an area code split, then the 7 digits dialing is usually
required for local calls. If your situation was due to an area code overlay, then 10
digits dialing is likely required into your User's (Home) area code. In either case
dialing into the new area code (Neighboring area code) created by the split or
overlay may require 10 digits dialing into the Neighboring area code. Please refer to
the PROGRAMMING MODE section to set 2 area code on page 26.
NOTE: If your User's (Home) area code requires 10 digits dialing for the Callback
feature, set Callback Number. Please refer to the PROGRAMMING MODE section
to set CALLBACK NUMBER on page 26. The default setting for the Callback
Number of digits is 7. In many split area codes, 7 digits dialing is required in the

In most overlay area codes, 10 digits dialing is required in both the User's (Home)
and Neighboring area codes.
NOTE: If you need to dial calls to your User's (Home)
area code and that call requires 11 digits due to that call
being a toll call (as required in some areas), then the 1
+ Area Code can be added back to the 7 digits number. Please refer to CALLBACK
OPTION2onpage25.
3 Area Code Setup
Your User's (Home) area code can be programmed as 7 or 10 digits Callback. If you
have 2 new area codes that require 10 digits dialing because of a 3 way area code
split or overlay, then use this procedure to set your Excursion® 36247 Area Code
setup.
If your situation was due to an area code split, then 7 digits dialing is usually
required for local calls from your User's (Home) area code and calls placed into the
new Neighboring area codes may require 10 digits dialing.
If your situation was due to an area code overlay, then 10 digits dialing is likely
required into your User's (Home) area code. In either case, dialing into the new
Neighboring area codes created by the split or overlay may require 10 digits dialing
into those new area codes. Please refer to the PROGRAMMING MODE section to
set 3 area code on page 26.
NOTE: If your User's (Home) area code requires 10 digits dialing for the Callback
feature, set Callback Number. Please refer to the PROGRAMMING MODE section
to set CALLBACK NUMBER on page 26. The default setting for the Callback
