You must install and
charge the battery before
using the telephone.
STOP!
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
surface or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 15). For optimum range
and better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.
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 page 9). 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.
For customer service or product information, visit our website at
www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial
1 (866) 288-4268.
Avoid placing the telephone base and charger too close to:
Communication devices such as television sets, VCRs, or other
cordless telephones.
Excessive heat sources.
Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave
ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.
Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
Excessive moisture.
Extremely low temperature.
Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of a washing machine
or workbench.

Battery backup mode
Battery backup mode allows your telephone system to function in the
event of a power outage. The telephone system uses stored power from the
handset’s battery to operate.
To activate the mode

Remote voice control
NOTES:
Once you have activated the remote voice control feature, you are using your cell phone’s
voice app to operate your cell phone.
Please check the cell phone user’s manual and the voice app’s help topics to find out what
commands you can use and any limitations of the voice app.
Some cell phone manufacturers or network carriers may customize the phone’s operating
system and implement their own voice app. If you want to use Google Now, you need to
manually set it as your default voice app. For detailed instructions, refer to your cell phone
user’s manual, or contact your cell phone’s manufacturer or network carrier. You may also go
to “Google Product Forums” on the Internet and check the corresponding help topics.
Due to the settings of certain cell phones and voice apps, your cell phone may not support
the remote voice control feature. Contact your cell phone’s manufacturer or network carrier,
or check the voice app’s help topics if you encounter any problems.
During the remote voice control activation, if your Android cell phone comes with both a
dedicated voice app and Google Now, it may prompt you to select which voice app to use,
and whether use it for just once or always. Select the desired options. If you do not respond
to your cell phone’s prompt in time, the telephone displays Connection timeout. Please
check cell status.. Press O� and try again.

established via the remote voice control feature and the call has just ended.
If you need to press dialing keys (0-9, TONE , QUIET#) during a cell call, please make the
call using the cell lines of your telephone system instead of using the voice app via the
remote voice control feature (see Make, answer or end a cell call on page 54).

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 in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Press
CID or DIR on the handset, or press qCALLER ID
or pDIRECTORY on the telephone base to scroll to
Caller ID annc, then press SELECT.
3. Press
CID or DIR on the handset, or press qCALLER ID or
pDIRECTORY on the telephone base to highlight On or Off,
then press SELECT. There is a confirmation tone. The handset
and telephone base screen show CID Annc ON/OFF on all
HS & BS briefly before returning to the previous menu.
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 2 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 will not have time to
announce the caller’s information.
Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be pronounced correctly.
When this feature is on, the telephone plays both the caller ID information and the ringer at
the same time when there is an incoming call.
Caller ID announce is available in English only.
