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 18, 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.

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.)

Announce Only mode
In Announce Only mode, callers hear an announcement
but cannot leave messages. This option is useful, for
example, to notify callers that you will be away for an
extended period and request that they call back after a
certain date.
To turn Announce Only on or off
Press MENU repeatedly until you hear “Change
Announce Only.” Then press CHANGE until you hear
the option you want (On or Off). Press PLAY/STOP to
store your selection and exit, or press MENU again to
modify other features (see page 24).
To record your outgoing announcement
When Announce Only is turned on, calls are answered
with a pre-recorded announcement that says “We’re
sorry, messages to this number cannot be accepted.”
You can use this announcement, or replace it with a
recording of your own voice.
After turning on the Announce Only feature, follow the
steps on page 22 to record your announcement. Callers
will hear this announcement only when the Announce
Only feature is turned on. Otherwise they will hear the
standard announcement asking them to leave a message.

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 battery is 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 13).
• If these suggestions do not work, unplug the base, remove and reinsert the battery, then place the handset in the base to re-initialize.
Phone does not ring
• Make sure the ringer is on (see page 12).
• 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.

Appendix
Incomplete messages
• If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the
system disconnects the call after 4 minutes.
• If the caller pauses for more than 7 seconds, the system stops
recording and disconnects the call.
• If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system
stops recording and disconnects the call.
Difficulty hearing messages
• Press ^ on the base to increase speaker volume.
System does not answer after correct number of rings
• Make sure that the answering system is on.
• If Toll Saver is activated, the number of rings changes to 2 when you
have new messages waiting (see page 24).
• In some cases, the system may be affected by the ringing system
used by the local telephone company.
• If the memory is full or the system is off, the system will answer after
10 rings.
“CL” flashes in message window
• You need to reset the answering system clock (see page 21).
Announcement message is not clear
• When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a
normal tone of voice, about 9 inches from the base.
• Make sure there is no “background” noise (TV, music, etc.) while you
are recording.
System does not respond to remote commands
• Make sure to enter your Remote Access Code correctly (see page 28).
• Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone. When you dial a
number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the phone is not a
touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system.
• The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code
while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over before entering the code.
• There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using.
Press dial-pad buttons firmly.
