About Home Area Code and Local Area Codes
Always program your Home Area Code,and, if you need them, up to four Local Area Codes. (See “Program Home Area Code”on page 7 for information about the Home Area Code). Programming these area codes changes how numbers are displayed in the call history, and allows for correct operation of the Display Dial feature.
Refer to the chart below to determine whether you will need to program Local Area Codes after you install your phone.
If for You dial Then enter
All calls outside 11 digits No Local Area Codes your Home Area Code (1 + area code
+ phone number)
Some calls outside 10 digits Area codes that do your Home Area Code (area code not require a “1”
+ phone number)
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.
Use the softkeys to select the area code you want to program (LOCAL1–LOCAL4), then use the keypad to enter each area code. Use the softkey to select DONE.
If you don’t program your Home Area Code, the system will continue to display the Home Area Code entry screen, and will be unable to display Caller ID information. If you try to exit area code programming without entering a Home Area Code, you will hear an error tone.

About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This unit keeps a record of the names and numbers of the last 99 calls, whether you answer the phone or not.
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 area code is not displayed if it is programmed as the Home Area Code);
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.
Headset Jack
You can use this telephone hands-free when you install any industry standard 2.5 mm headset, purchased separately. For best results, use an AT&T 2.5 mm headset.
Plug the headset into the jack. Do not force the connection, but make sure the plug fits securely.
Data Port
If you want to connect another device (such as a modem, fax machine, answering system, or cordless extension phone) to a wall jack used by this phone, you can use the jack on the back of the phone labeled DATA L2. The data port uses Line 2; a call picked up on Line 2 at another extension may interrupt data, fax, or message transmission.

This telephone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 99. The most recent call will have the highest number. For example, if two calls have been received, call number 2 is the most recent. When the memory is full, the oldest call information is automatically deleted to make room for the new incoming call information. New (unreviewed) calls in the call history are displayed in the order in which they were received, followed by previously reviewed calls, also in the order in which they were received. Calls are not renumbered as they are reviewed, so the call number may appear out of sequence.

No Dial Tone
Make sure all plugs are connected properly. Inspect the line cord connections at the modular jack and at the telephone. Also inspect the coiled handset cord connection at both ends.
Check to make sure the phone is not on hold.
In the event of a power failure when there is not a charged 9V battery installed, Line 2 cannot be used. Use Line 1 to make your call.
Unplug the telephone and connect it to another modular jack. If it still does not work and other telephones in your home are working, the problem is with this phone.
An Error Tone Sounds During Area Code Programming
If you try to exit area code programming without entering a Home Area Code, you will hear an error tone. Follow the instructions to “Program Home Area Code” under “Table/Desk Installation”in the INSTALLATION section of this manual.
Call Cannot Be Dialed or is Dialed Slowly
In the event of a power failure,a charged 9V battery must be installed for the phone to dial out or receive calls. If no battery is installed the phone will not ring, but can be used to make a call on Line 1.

Telephone Does Not Ring
Make sure the ringer volume is not turned off.
If there are several other telephones on the same line, try disconnecting some of the other telephones. Having too many telephones connected can also create problems such as low ringer volume or impaired sound quality during calls.
