�aller ID operation

This product supports caller ID services provided by most local telephone service companies. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number which are sent by the telephone company after the first or second ring. Caller ID from the HOME line allows you to see the name, number, date and time of the incoming call. However, caller ID from the CELLULAR line only shows the number of the incoming call; date and time of the call will not be shown.

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, even when on another call. For incoming HOME calls, the time and date will also be sent by the telephone service provider along with the caller ID information. For incoming CELLULAR calls, only the caller's number will be provided. These services are available only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

Contact your local telephone company and cellular service provider if:

• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to combine these services).

• 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, or you can use this product’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

Caller ID history information

If you subscribe to caller ID services, provided by your local telephone company and/or cellular service provider, the caller ID history storesthe caller ID history stores information about the last 50 incoming calls forfor both the HOME and CELLULAR lines.

Although the caller ID history records the caller ID information of both lines, the CELLULAR line caller ID entries only provide the incoming telephone number. The Bluetooth name of the cellular phone will also appear. However, if the number on the incoming CELLULAR call matches a number in the directory, the name will be retrieved from the matched directory entry.

Review the caller ID history to find out who called, to easily return the call, or to copy the caller’s name and number into your directory.

The phone deletes the earliest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls.

If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the caller ID history.

The caller ID history is stored in the telephone base, and is shared by all handsets. Changes made on any one handset will be reflected in all.

NOTE: Only one handset can review the caller ID history

at a time. If another handset attempts to enter the directory or caller ID history, it will display NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

Answering system

About the answering system

Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication. Voicemail is offered by your telephone service provider (fees may apply). Your telephone’s answering system and voicemail indication are independent features, and each alerts you to new messages differently. For more information on the voicemail indicators see page 25. To listen to your voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone company, followed by a security code or PIN. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press button on the telephone base.

If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service through your telephone service provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, set your voicemail to answer calls after six rings and set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings; in this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting. By doing this, if you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.

Maintenance

Taking care of your telephone

Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must

•

be treated with care. Avoid rough treatment.

•

Place the handset down gently.

•

Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever

•

need to ship it.

Avoid water

Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in

•

the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.

Electrical storms

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic

•

equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances during storms.

Cleaning your telephone

Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for

•

many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap.

Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

•

Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

Appendix D

Important safety information

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 con-

•

nected 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 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 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 1-800-8BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.

Important safety information

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers

Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones): Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led

a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:

Pacemaker patients

Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.

•

Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as

•

in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON. Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.

•

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.

Especially about telephone answering systems

Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other party that you are recording the conversation.

DECT 6.0 digital technology

The AT&T DECT 6.0 products offer unsurpassed range performance and sound clarity. This is achieved through a unique antenna design and advances in noise-filtering technology. An independent laboratory has confirmed that AT&T DECT 6.0 products perform up to 45% better in range competitions. Now calls can be taken in the basement, backyard and garage with exceptional sound quality.

Telephone operating range

This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.

Extended range and clarity

This telephone base comes with an antenna which gives much better clarity and covers a longer range than before.
