BEFORE YOU BEGIN

About Caller ID with Call Waiting

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 also 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 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 the Data Por t

If you want to connect another device (such as a modem or fax machine) to the wall jack,you can use the jack on the phone labeled DATA PORT. This convenience port uses Line 2;a call picked up on Line 2 at this or another extension,or incoming Caller ID information,may interrupt a fax, modem,or message transmission.

About the Spare Battery Charger

This phone is equipped with a built-in spare battery charger in the base unit. The spare batter y charger allows you to always have a charged battery available should the handset battery charge become low. For complete information,see page 29.

• If you choose not to record an announcement,the system answers with a pre-recorded announcement.

• The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. I’m

unable to answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number and message after the tone.” The Announce Only pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. I’m unable to answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank you.” The Announce Only

recording is repeated,then the line is disconnected.

• By setting Announce Only to On or Off,you decide which announcement your callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set for normal answering,with Announce Only turned off). See “Set Announce Only”on page 22 to change your announcement selection.

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 L or l. 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 batter y should be replaced.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injur y to persons or damage to the telephone,read and follow these instructions carefully:

• Use only Replacement Battery #3095 (AT&T SKU# 92070).

• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell might explode. Check with local codes for special disposal instructions.

• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings,bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.

• Charge the battery provided with or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.

• Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery and battery charger.

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 pur chase.

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.

• Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.

• If the handset does not beep when you press L or l, the

battery might need charging.

• If you have dial pulse (rotary) service on your phone line,make sure

the dial mode switch is set to 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:

• The handset battery pack might need recharging or replacement.

• You might be out of range. Move closer to the base and try a gain.

• If moving closer to the base doesn’t help,try following the directions

above for re-initializing the handset and base.

If the handset 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.

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.

• 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 f loor.

• 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:

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 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 messages are incomplete:

• If a caller leaves a very long message,part of it may be lost when the

system disconnects the call after four minutes.

• If the caller pauses for more than seven seconds,the system stops

recording and disconnects the call.

• If the system’s memory becomes full during a message,the system

stops recording and disconnects the call.

If you have difficulty hearing messages:

Check the volume setting.

If the system does not answer after the correct number of rings:

• Make sure that the ANSWER ON/OFF light on the base is on. If it is off,

press A.

• If Toll Saver is on,the system answers after two rings when you have

new messages waiting,and after four rings when there are no new messages

• In some cases,the system may be affected by the ringing system used

by the local telephone company.

• If the memory is full or the system is off,the system answers after

10 rings.

If CL appears in the Message Window:

You need to reset the clock.

If the system does not respond to commands from a remote touch tone phone:

• Make sure you are calling from a touch tone phone. When you dial a

number,you should hear tones. If you hear clicks instead,the phone is not a touch tone telephone.

• The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code while

your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over before entering the code.

• Make sure you enter your Remote Access Code cor rectly.

• There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using.

Press keys firmly.

If your outgoing announcement isn’t clear:

• When you record your announcement,make sure you speak in a

normal tone of voice,about nine inches from the base.

are recording.
