Information about Caller ID with Call Waiting

This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with services from your local phone service provider.

Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who is calling before you answer the phone, even when you’re on another call.

You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact your phone 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 product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service.

There are fees for Caller ID services, and these services may not be available in all areas.

Depending on your service, you may see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number. This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the service provider along with the call information.

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.

Telephone operating range

This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, the 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 cordless handset

might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press

PHONE/FLASH. Move closer to the

telephone base, then press PHONE/

FLASH to answer the call.

If you move out of range during a telephone conversation, you might

hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.

If you move out of range without pressing OFF/CLEAR, your telephone

will be left off the hook. To hang up properly, walk back toward the telephone base, periodically pressing

OFF/CLEAR until the call is discon-

nected.

See Caller ID Operation, beginning on page 29, for more details about how these features work.

Getting Started

Telephone base installation

Install the telephone base as shown below. Choose a location within the home:

• Away from any other cordless (wireless) device such as cordless telephones, 802.11 wireless router (for example, WiFi).

• Away from other electronic equipment, microwave oven, television, computer, etc. Avoid excessive heat, cold, dust, and moisture.

• If you need to install your phone within the same room as other cordless phones or wireless products, you may need to select a different channel for your router and or change the channel on your phone’s cordless handsets (see page 18).

Plug the large power adapter into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

Plug the long telephone line cord into telephone jack.

Plug handset cord into handset and jack at the bottom of the telephone base.

NOTE: Use only the power adapter supplied with this product. If you need a replacement, call 1 (800) 222-3111.

In Canada, call 1 (866) 288-4268.

NOTE: Be sure to use an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

How Caller ID works

If you subscribe to Caller ID service provided by your local phone company, information about each caller will be displayed at both the cordless handset and the telephone base after the first or second ring.

With most incoming calls, the screen shows the name of the caller (up to 15 alphanumeric characters including spaces) in the top row, and the caller's telephone number, including the area code (up to 11 digits including area code) in the second row. The third row shows the date and time of the call, the total number of Caller ID entries already stored in the handset memory, as well as the low-battery icon if the battery is low. The low battery icon will be displayed if the battery on the handset is low.

If the caller has made 2 or more consecutive calls, the repeat tag (*) will be displayed in the top right corner of the screen.

Caller ID and Call Waiting Functions

There may be a charge for the caller ID and call waiting services provided by your local telephone company.

Contact your telephone company 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, or

• you currently do not have Caller ID or Call Waiting services.

You can use this telephone 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.

Caller ID Operation

There are also occasions when other information or no information is displayed for various reasons:

On-Screen Message Reason

PRIVATE NAME Caller prefers to remain anonymous.

PRIVATE CALLER Caller's name and telephone number are

not revealed at caller's request.

UNKNOWN NAME Your local telephone company is unable to

determine the caller's name.

UNKNOWN CALLER Your local telephone company is unable to

determine the caller's name and telephone number. Long-distance calls from overseas also generate this message.

Contrast Adjustment (telephone base only)

There are four levels of contrast on the screen of the telephone base which can be adjusted to suit different viewing angles for both desktop use or wall-mounting. Press CONTRAST on the telephone base to adjust the contrast on the screen.

NOTE: The cordless handset

and CID logs on the telephone base not shared. Action taken on one will not affect the other.

NOTE: Only the cordless

handset will show the order of the call in call history.

Caller ID Operation

CID memory

Memory Capacity

E5908 telephone can store up to 30 CID records in both the telephone base and the cordless handset respectively. These numbers are available for subsequent retrieval or for saving into the internal directory for long-term storage until they are deleted.

Troubleshooting

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. In Canada, call 1 (866) 288-4268.

My telephone does not work at all.

I cannot get a dial tone.

• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.

• Make sure the battery pack is installed and charged correctly (see page 7).

• Make sure the telephone line cord is securely plugged firmly into the telephone base and the telephone wall jack.

• Charge the battery pack in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours. For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to its base when not in use.

• Reset the base. Unplug the unit’s electrical power. Wait for approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and base to reset.

• You may need to purchase a new battery pack, please refer to page 7 of this user’s manual.

• Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a working telephone. If it still does not work, the problem is probably in the wiring or the local service. Call the local telephone company.

• First try all the suggestions above.

• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You might have moved out of range.

• Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.

• If the previous suggestions don’t work, disconnect the telephone base unit from the telephone jack and connect a different telephone. If there is no dial tone on that telephone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company.

I cannot dial out.

• First try all the suggestions above.

• Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless handset

may take a second or two to find the telephone base and produce a dial tone. This is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.

• Make sure your telephone is set to the correct dial mode for the type

of service that you have (pulse or touch tone). Refer to the Installation section of this user’s manual (page 13) to set the dial mode.

• If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem,

the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company (charges may apply).

• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or

Important safety instructions

Especially About Cordless Telephones

• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset.

For this reason, you should not think of cordless phone conversations as being as private as those on corded phones.

• Electrical Power: The base unit of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the base unit is

unplugged or 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 base unit 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 either Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting 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-Cadmium Rechargeable Batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of in household garbage. 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-Cadmium 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 Nickel-Cadmium Batteries. 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.

• 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.
