Installation
You must install and
charge the battery before
using the telephone.
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 surface
or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 9). For optimum range and better
reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL)
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 a protective sticker covering the handset
or telephone base display - remove it before use.
For customer service or product information, visit our website at

for easy instructions.
www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial
1 (866) 288-4268.
Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:
Communication devices such as: television sets, VCRs, or other
•

power is not available, many telephone features do not function. The telephone uses power
from the telephone line to enable you to make and answer calls using only the corded
handset and dial pad keys. However, when more than one telephone on the same line is
being used simultaneously, there might not be sufficient power to operate your telephone in
the event of a power failure.

Set date/time
The answering system announces the day and time of each message prior
to playing it. Before using the answering system, set the date and time as
follows. If you subscribe to caller ID service, the day, month and time are
set automatically with each incoming call. The year must be set so that the
day of the week can be calculated from the caller ID information. You can
turn off the date and time settings of the caller ID service and use your
own settings for each incoming call (see the Use caller ID to automatically
set date and time section on the following page).
After a power failure or handset registration, the system reminds you to set
the date and time for backup before entering the idle mode.
Follow the steps below to set the month, day, year and time.

Home area code
If you dial seven digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter
your area code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive
a call from within your home area code, the caller ID history only displays the
seven digits of the telephone number.
This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID log. If you
dial 10 digits to make a local phone call, do not use this home area code
feature. If you do, you cannot place local calls from your caller ID log, as they
will have only seven digits.
To set the home area code on a cordless handset:
1. Press MENU/SELECT in the 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 >Home area code, then
press MENU/SELECT.
4. Use the dial pad keys to enter a three-digit home area
code. Press MUTE/DELETE to delete a digit while entering,
or press and hold MUTE/DELETE to delete all digits.
5. Press MENU/SELECT to save and return to the main menu.
There is a confirmation tone. Press OFF/CLEAR to cancel.
