Installation
Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet
not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line)
through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone
line cord and the telephone wall jack (see the following page). The filter prevents
noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL
service provider for more information about DSL filters.
Your product may be shipped with protective stickers covering the handset
and telephone base displays - remove them before use.

Battery backup mode
Battery backup mode allows your telephone to function in the event of
power outage. The telephone system uses stored power from the handset’s
battery to operate.
To activate the mode
After the power goes out, if there is already a handset with
enough charge placed in the telephone base, the telephone
system enters battery backup mode automatically. That
handset screen shows Powering base... Don’t pick up. All
other handset screens show Pwr outage mode.
-OR-
If there is no handset placed in the telephone base after
the power goes out, all handsets show Out of range OR
No power at base and Put HS on base to power base,
alternatively. Place any handset with enough charge in the
telephone base. Its screen shows Powering base... Don’t pick
up. All other handset screens show Pwr outage mode.
NOTE: A handset which does not have enough charge to power up
the base, its screen shows Out of range OR No power at base and
Not enough batt to power base, alternatively, after the power goes out.
Find another system handset that has enough charge to activate the mode.
Operation
During battery backup mode, the telephone base and answering system will
be disabled. The operating time is subject to the battery level of the handset
placed in the telephone base and the actual usage. For optimal performance,
you are not recommended to use the handset placed in the telephone base
when this mode is on.
Using other system handsets (Recommended):
Operate the handsets the same way as usual, except the answering system
which will be disabled.
Using the handset placed in the telephone base:
To maximize the operating time, you are not advised to use this handset. If
you do have to use it, make sure you do not lift it from the telephone base.
All operations should be done with the handset placed in the telephone base.
In this case, calls can only be made and received using the speakerphone.

Installation options
Your telephone base is ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your
telephone on a wall, follow the steps on this page to connect the telephone
base with a standard dual-stud telephone wall-mounting plate. You may need
a professional to install the mounting plate.
Tabletop to wall-mount installation
1. Plug the power cord and telephone line into the telephone base. If you
are using a DSL filter, plug the other end of the telephone line into the
filter. Route the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) through the wall-mount
bracket hole.
2. Position the telephone base, as shown below. Insert the extended tabs
(marked B in the following illustration) of the wall-mount bracket into the
slots on the back of the telephone base. Push the telephone base down
until it is securely in place.
3. Plug the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) into the wall jack. Plug the
power adapter into a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
4. Align the holes on the wall-mount bracket with the standard wall plate
and slide the wall-mount bracket down until it locks securely. Bundle the
telephone line cord and power adapter cord neatly with twist ties.

Caller ID announce
The caller ID announce feature lets you know who’s calling
without having to look at the display. When you have an
incoming call, the handset and/or base speaks “Call from...”
and the name of the caller based on the directory or caller
ID information. If the caller’s name is private or unknown, the
phone number up to the last 11 digits will be announced.
If the caller’s phone number is also private or unknown, no
information will be announced. The default setting is On.
To turn on or off the caller ID announce feature:
1. Press MENU/SELECT in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to Settings, then press
MENU/SELECT.
3. Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to Caller ID annc, then
press MENU/SELECT.
4. Use qCID or pDIR to highlight the desired option, then press MENU/SELECT.
Set all On/Off - Change the setting for the base and all handsets.
Local handset - Change the setting for that handset only.
Base - Change the setting for the telephone base only.
5. Use qCID or pDIR to highlight On or Off, then press MENU/SELECT.
There is a confirmation tone and the screen returns to the previous menu.
If you change the setting to Set all On/Off, the screen shows
CID Annc ON/OFF on all HS & BS.
NOTES:
To use the caller ID announce feature, you must subscribe to caller ID service from your
telephone service provider.
If you have paired an AT&T TL80133 DECT 6.0 cordless speakerphone to the telephone base, the
caller ID announce setting for all devices also applies to the cordless speakerphone. When the
setting is On, the cordless speakerphone speaks “Call from...” and the name of the caller based
on the directory or caller ID information during an incoming call. If the caller’s name is
unavailable, the phone number up to the last 11 digits will be announced.
When there are up to five handsets registered, the telephone system supports caller ID announce
for all handsets. If six or more handsets are registered, the system supports caller ID announce for
the first four registered handsets only.
This feature does not announce information for call waiting calls.
It takes at least two rings for the phone to receive caller ID information and announce it. If the
phone is answered before the end of the second ring, the phone won’t have time to announce
the caller’s information.
Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be pronounced correctly.
Caller ID announce is available in English only.

features when QUIET mode is on, the sample plays but the feature is still muted after saving the
setting.
After QUIET mode is turned off or the set period of time has expired, all muted features will be
activated again.
The PTT function is not available when QUIET mode is on.
When QUIET mode is on, the handset does not ring when there is an incoming intercom call, but
the handset which initiates the intercom call does have the calling tone as normal.
