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 20, 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. For best performance,
install the telephone base away from
electronic equipment, such as personal
computers, television sets or
microwave ovens
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 L1/L2.
Move closer to the base, then press
L1/L2 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.
Each log entry is numbered (number 1 is always the most
recent). 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.
Handset and base call logs
There are separate Caller ID logs in the handset and
the base.
Each call log can store up to 50 entries. Each entry can
contain a number up to 14 digits, and a name up to 16
letters long.
The procedure for viewing, dialing, deleting and transferring call log entries to your phonebook is the same
for both the handset and the base.

Charging a spare battery
An optional spare battery (AT&T 2401 or 2403, sold separately) can be kept charged
in the base, for quick replacement when the handset battery becomes depleted.
In the event of a power failure, the charged battery in the base will allow you to make
and receive calls for up to one hour.
A spare battery requires at least 24 hours to reach full charge.
Caution: Use only supplied
rechargeable battery. Replace
only with AT&T Model 2401
battery (SKU 26820).
Press latch on side of phone to
open drawer, insert battery, then

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 the battery is installed and charged correctly (see page 8).
• 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 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 pages 14-15).
• Make sure the telephone line cord and AC adapter are plugged in
properly (see pages 6-7).
• 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.
ATT-2562CIB-d4.qxd 12/29/2003 6:26 PM Page 38

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 ^ 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 two when
you have new messages waiting (see page 29).
• 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.
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.
On/Off button is flashing
• The On/Off button on the base flashes when one mailbox is turned
off. To stop the flashing, press ON/OFF, then set both mailboxes to
“On” (see page 24).
System does not respond to remote commands
• Be sure to enter your Remote Access Code correctly (see pages 32-33).
• 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.

Before you begin
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. For best performance,
keep the base antenna fully upright.
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.
