vary with the locations of the base and handset, the

Charging the Handset Battery Pack
This battery should remain charged up to six days with
the ringer turned on and up to 12 days with the ringer
off. A fully charged battery provides an average talk time
of about six hours.
The battery pack needs charging when:
• A new battery is installed in the handset.
• The phone beeps twice when you press P.
• The phone light flashes slowly.
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light
turns on. The battery pack is typically fully charged in
eight hours.
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the
handset to the base after each use.
If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator,even
after eight hours of charging, the battery should be
replaced.
Replacing the Handset Battery Pack
1 Remove the battery compartment cover on the
handset by pressing on the indentation and sliding
the cover downward.
2 Lift out the old battery pack and disconnect.
3 Align the two holes in the new battery pack’s
plug with the socket pins, and snap the plug into
place. Place the battery pack in the compartment
with the wires in the lower left corner, along the
bottom of the battery pack.
4 Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.
5 The new battery pack must be charged before
using the phone. Place the handset in the base
and allow it to charge for at least 24 hours the first
charge. The telephone might operate before that,
but for best performance, let the battery pack
charge fully.

If you have difficulty operating this phone, try the suggestions below. For Customer Service, visit our website at
www.telephones.att.com or call 1 800 222–3111.
Please retain your receipt as your proof of purchase.
If the phone doesn’t work at all, check these items
first:
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet
not controlled by a wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly
into the base unit and the modular jack.
• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
• If the handset does not beep when you press P,
the battery might need charging.
• Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.
If the above suggestions don’t solve the problem,
try re-initializing the handset and base:
1 Disconnect the power to the base.
2 Remove the handset battery pack.
3 Wait a few minutes.
4 Connect the power to the base.
5 Insert the handset battery pack.
6 Put the handset in the base to re-initialize.
If you hear a two-beep signal when you try to
use the handset:
• You might be out of range. Move closer to the
base and try again.
• If moving closer to the base doesn’t help, try
following the directions above for re-initializing
the handset and base.
If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
• Make sure the handset ringer is on.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is connected
firmly to the base and the telephone jack.
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into
an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
• You might be too far from the base;move closer.

your telephone line to allow all of them to ring.

• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
• You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.
• Press and release C to change to another of the

move closer to the base before changing channels.
• Household appliances plugged into the same circuit
as the base can sometimes cause interference. Try

• The layout of your home or office might be limiting
the operating range. Try moving the base to another
location, preferably on an upper floor.

the base for at least 15 seconds.
If you hear other calls while using your phone:
• Press C to change to another channel.
• Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug
in a corded telephone. If you still hear other calls, the
problem is probably in your wiring or local service.
