This 974 telephone is fully compatible with any AT&T Four-Line Small Business System Speakerphone 945 or 984 units you may have installed. You can use a total of 16 945/974/984 units together as extensions in your phone system.

This 974 telephone is also compatible with any AT&T 964/955/944 phones you have previously installed. This 974 telephone is NOT compatible with any 843, 853, 854, 874, or 954 telephones you may have previously installed.

NOTE: If you have one or more 964, 955, or 944 phone(s) installed in the same phone system with this 974 telephone, you can have only 12 extensions and 15 telephone lines in the phone system.

•You must have a modular telephone jack and an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch near where you’re installing the phone. The total length of telephone wiring used in this system MUST NOT be more than 600 feet as it may cause interference with the advanced features of this telephone.

•Identify the number of phone lines you’ll use.

•Plan the layout of your phone system.

•All connected phones must have the same line 1 phone number for the intercom and paging features to work.

Every individual phone in your telephone system MUST be assigned a unique extension number for the intercom feature to work. If you try to assign the same extension number to a second phone, you will hear a repeating short ring and the the screen display will includehEXThXXhishalreadyhusedhAssignhnewhEXTh#hif the phone is in idle mode. If the phone is in the programming mode, you will hear the repeating short ring only. See Assign an extension number to your phone on page 24 of this manual for directions.

•Decide if you want a private line. A private line does not appear on all connected phones.

•Choose your setting for each feature. You will need to program the features after installation. See Programmable features list beginning on page 7 for a brief description of the features. See the Feature setup section beginning on page 23 for programming instructions.

DSL users

Connecting a DSL line to L1/L2 may interfere with the advanced features of this telephone, (such as intercom, hold, and line privacy,) which work by sending data signals over line 1. These data signals are sent at some of the same frequencies as those used by your DSL service.

Also, DSL lines usually have microfilters, which keep the DSL signals from interfering with your telephone's sound quality. These same microfilters will also block the data signals that this telephone system uses to support some telephone system features. Therefore, the advanced features of this phone may not work properly when DSL microfilters are installed on L1/L2 of your phone system. However, you can use a DSL splitter to prevent these problems.

For only one or two DSL lines, install it/them into L3/L4 on the back of the phone.

If your system will only use two or three phone lines, plug a single non-DSL telephone line into L1/L2. (Turn off the L2 line usage lights.) Be sure to use the microfilter(s,) which were probably provided when DSL was installed, on lines 3 and/or 4 if the lines have DSL, to protect the sound quality.

If you have two telephone lines, one of which is DSL, which both appear at a single wall jack, use a Triplex adapter to separate the lines at the wall jack. Call 1 (800) 222-3111 if you need help doing this.

If you must install a DSL line into L1/L2 on the back of the phone, use a DSL splitter.

Lines 1 and 2 share a telephone jack, so if you need to install a DSL line for telephone line 1 or line 2, you will need additional equipment to avoid interference. Any telephone line connected to L1/L2 cannot have a microfilter. It must have a DSL splitter. Use a dual line DSL splitter or a two-line DSL filter. Call 1 (800) 222-3111 if you need help doing this.

Installation, by your DSL service provider or other professional, of a DSL splitter (not a microfilter) as close as possible to the protection block or network interface (where the telephone line enters the house) may resolve DSL interference. (It may be necessary to use a DSL splitter intended for outdoor use.) A DSL splitter allows the data and voice signals to use the same telephone line without interfering with each other.

AT&T cannot supply the DSL splitter. Please contact your DSL service provider or professional contractor for details about obtaining and installing a DSL splitter. Your DSL service provider may require you to bear any installation costs. AT&T and the manufacturer of this product have no affiliation with your DSL provider and the type or quality of services they offer. Installation must be performed at your own expense and AT&T cannot troubleshoot or provide installation support.

974CIB_06 4/7/06 3:32 PM Page 5

NOTE: If your DSL service provider cannot supply a DSL splitter, it is possible to purchase an outdoor DSL splitter over the Internet.

If you are a new DSL customer, your DSL service provider will probably ask you if you have more than one telephone line in your home or business, or if you are installing a phone system. If you answer yes, your DSL service provider will probably advise you that you need a splitter. In most cases, your DSL service provider will supply you with the proper splitter for your specific situation. The DSL splitter, installed properly, should help overcome any interference between the DSL signal and the signals sent by your phone system.

AT&T shall not be responsible for the cost of installation, any damages, lost business, direct or indirect expenses accrued or associated with installation, or other compatibility issues which may arise as a result of using this product while you subscribe to DSL service.

Glossary

Caller ID: Caller identification is a subscriber service available from most local telephone companies for a fee. When you subscribe to caller identification, you can see who’s calling before you answer the phone if you and the caller are both in areas offering caller ID service with compatible equipment.

Caller ID with call waiting: This is a single, combined subscriber service which may be available from your local telephone company. If you subscribe to this service, you can use your 974 telephone to see who’s calling even while you are on another call (as long as your caller is in an area with caller ID service and both telephone companies use compatible equipment).

Centrex service: A special subscriber service which may be available from your local telephone company for a fee. This 974 telephone can be used with Centrex service.

COVM: Central Office Voice Mail is a subscriber voice message service which may be available from your local telephone company. This service may be called by another name in your area (e.g. call answering).

DND: When activated, the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature prevents interruptions during a call.

Glossary

continued from page 5

Home area code: This is the area code for your telephone number. Most users simply dial the seven digits of a phone number to make a call within their own area code and 11 digits outside of their area code. If this applies to you, you should enter your own area code into the unit as the home area code. After programming, if you receive a call from within your home area code, the screen will display the seven digits of the phone number.

You may, however, live in a region where for calls within your own area code, you must dial 10 digits (that is, the area code and phone number). If this applies to you, enter 000 for the home area code and enter your area code as a local area code. After programming, if you receive a call from within your area code, the screen displays the 10 digits of the phone number.

Be sure to follow the directions under Program home and local area codes on page 38 during feature setup.

Line group: A group of system phones sharing some lines within a multi-phone system.

Local area code: Most users dial 11 digits to make calls outside their home area codes. If this applies to you, you do not need to program any local area codes.

However, if you dial only 10 digits to make calls to some areas outside your home area code (without dialing 1), then program these local area codes into the phone. Up to five local area codes can be programmed. See Program home and local area codes on page 38 during feature setup for instructions.

After programming, if you receive a call from one of these local area codes, the screen displays the 10 digits of the phone number.

Navigation buttons: These are the buttons used when programming your 974 phone and for scrolling through feature options (E, +, -, >, <).

Phone system: Two or more system phones combined to form an interacting system of shared lines. You can have up to 16 phones in the system.

NOTE: If you have one or more 964, 955, or 944 phone(s) installed in the same phone system with this 974 telephone, you can have only 12 extensions in the phone system.

Prime line: This is the line on your phone you designate to be selected automatically when you lift the handset, press K, or press h.

System phone: Any 944, 945, 955, 964, 974 or 984 phone in your phone system (also called an extension).
