About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with
service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the
phone, even when you’re on another call.
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact
your phone service provider if:
• You have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services
(you may need combined service)
• You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service
• You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use
this product’s other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or
combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service.
There are fees for Caller ID services, and they may not be available in all
areas.
This product 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.

If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might
hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.

About Call History
This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 50. The most
recent call will have the highest number. When the memory is full, the
oldest call information is deleted to make room for new incoming call
information.
For each call that comes in, the screen displays the following information
between the first and second rings:
• Your caller’s name (15 letters are sent by your telephone
company);
• The caller’s area code and telephone number;
• The time and date of the call; and
• The position of the call in call history.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will
not be in the call history.
Review Call History
The screen displays call information for about 30 seconds after it has been
received. Press > to scroll through call history.

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 five hours.
The battery pack needs charging when:
• A new battery is installed in the handset.
• The phone beeps twice every 16 seconds.
• The screen displays LOW BATTERY and the low battery icon.
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 charging
overnight, the battery should be replaced. Use only AT&T battery 3301
(SKU# 91076).
CAUTION: Charge the battery provided with or identified for use
with this product only in accordance with the instructions and
limitations specified in the User’s Manual, Part 1.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
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 you have dial pulse (rotary) service on your phone line, make sure
the dial mode is set to dial pulse (see INSTALLATION).
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.
• You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line
to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.
24
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:
• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
• You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.
• Press and release G to change to another of the 30 channels
available. If noise is exceptionally loud, move closer to the base before
changing channels.
• Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can
sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base
to another outlet.
• 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.
• If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at
least 15 seconds.
If you hear other calls while using your phone:
• Press G 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. Call your local telephone service company.
If you lose a call after changing channels:
You were probably almost out of range. Move closer to the base before
changing channels. Before placing another call, set the handset in the base
for at least 15 seconds.
If you are unable to operate special telephone services or other
equipment requiring touch tone signals:
If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, follow the directions under
“Temporary Tone Dialing”in the TELEPHONE OPERATION section
of this manual.
If the MESSAGE light does not go off even after you’ve listened to
voice mail messages:
1 Press G until the screen displays MSG WAIT OFF?.
2 Press > to display YES or NO.
3 Press to choose the displayed setting.
