Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even while on another call.
It might be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:
You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate
• services (you might need to combine these services).
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
• You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.

There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment. The time and date, along with the call information, are from the telephone service provider.
Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To view caller ID log entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you must save the entry to the directory (see page 40).
NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

Caller ID
Caller ID history
How the caller ID history (caller ID log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handsets, so changes made using any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.
NOTE: Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name.
Missed (new) call indicator
When a handset is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls.

All new or missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by NEW on the handset screen), the number of missed calls decreases by one.
If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, but still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you can press and hold OFF/CANCEL for four seconds when the handset is idle. All the entries in the caller ID history become old (reviewed already), and the missed calls message goes away.

Caller ID
Caller ID operation
Memory match
If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.
NOTE: The number shown in the caller ID log will be in the format sent by the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit phone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a number in your directory, the name will appear as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.
Review the caller ID history
Review the caller ID history to find out who called, to return the call, or to copy the caller’s name and number into your directory. Caller ID log empty appears if there are no records in the caller ID log.

If the name you received from the telephone service provider is all in capital letters, the first
• letter of every word remains a capital letter, while other letters become lower case. However, the next letter after the prefix “Mac”, “Mc”, or “O’”, is kept as a capital letter. For example, the “D” in “MacDonald” is kept as a capital letter. Another exception is that “VAN DER” will be changed to “Van der”.

The user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a charged handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a fire or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet
basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquid, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power cords.
Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
If this product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section on pages 48-54 of

CAUTIONS:
Use only the power adapters provided with this product. To obtain a replacement, visit our
website at www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
Use only the supplied rechargeable battery or replacement battery (model BT183342/
BT283342). To order, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com or call
1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
To prevent risk of fire or battery explosion, replace with the correct battery type. Dispose of
used batteries according to the instructions.
Especially about cordless telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations.
Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working
electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive material such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not
burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1-800-8-BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.
