Before you begin

About Caller Identification

Caller ID with Call Waiting features in this telephone let you see who’s calling before you answer the phone, even when you’re on another call. These features require services provided by your local telephone company.
Contact your telephone service provider if:
• You have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service)
• You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service
• You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this phone with regular Caller ID service, and you can use its other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and they may not be available in all areas.
Caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.
See Caller ID Operation, beginning on page 19, for more details about how these features work.

Telephone operating range

This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not
ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press PHONE. Move closer to the base, then press
PHONE to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might hear
noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your phone will be left
“off the hook.” To hang up properly, walk back toward the telephone base, periodically pressing OFF until the call is disconnected.

NOTE:
Use only the power cord supplied with this product. If you need a replacement, call 1-800-222–3111.
Be sure to use an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

Caller ID Logs

How Caller ID works

If you subscribe to Caller ID service provided by your local phone company, information about each caller will be displayed after the first ring.
Information about the last 50 incoming calls is stored in your call log. You can review the call log to find out who has called, return the call without dialing, or copy the caller’s name and number into your phonebook.
When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new incoming call information.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in your call log.

About names

Names of callers will be displayed only if this information is provided by your local telephone company.
If the telephone number of the person calling matches a number in your phonebook, the name that appears on screen will match the name as you entered it into your phonebook.
(Example: If “Christine Smith” calls, her name will appear as “Chris” if this is how you entered it into your phonebook.)

In case of difficulty

If you have difficulty with your phone, please try the suggestions below. For Customer Service, visit our web site at www.telephones.att.com, or call 1-800-222–3111.

Telephone does not work at all

• Make sure batteries are installed and charged correctly (see page 7).
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the modular jack.
• If you have dial-pulse telephone service, make sure the dial mode is set to Pulse (see page 14).
• If these suggestions do not work, unplug the base, remove and re­insert the batteries, then place the handset in the base to re-initialize.

Phone does not ring

• Make sure the ringer is on (see page 13).
• Make sure the telephone line cord and AC adapter are plugged in properly (see page 6).
• Move the handset closer to the base.
• You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.

If you hear noise or interference during a call

• You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.
• Appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or base to another outlet.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.
• If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds.
• Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a corded tele­phone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone service company.
