INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased one of the most sophisticated cordless telephones on the market! The Ameritech AM 1930 has been de­signed to offer a new standard in cordless telephone technology.
The Ameritech AM 1930 scrambles your voice before it transmits it. This allows you the security of knowing that no one can tune in and eavesdrop on your conversations.
The Ameritech AM 1930 decodes and displays name and/or number Caller ID information where available and when subscribed to. The alpha-numeric display can show both the name and number of the calling party. Up to 24 name characters or 11 phone number digits can be displayed.
With the Ameritech AM 1930, the user can easily answer a call by pressing any key other than the OFF, MUTE or VOLUME Keys. In addition, the handset keypad and display illuminate while the handset rings to signal an incoming call. This is very useful in a dark environment.
The Ameritech AM 1930 also provides a two-way Intercom/Handset locator function.
The Ameritech AM 1930 uses special memory in both the base and handset which is not susceptible to power failures. This provides permanent storage of all memory dial numbers, Caller ID information, and the base and handset security codes.
When an optional battery pack is installed in the base unit, the Ameritech AM 1930 uses this battery pack to provide operational backup in case of power failure. In this way you have access to Handset functions during a total power outage. Calls can still be placed and received on the Handset without interruption. Up to 5 hours backup will be possible with a fully charged battery pack in the base unit.
The Ameritech AM 1930 informs you when another extension is currently in use on the same phone line. The phone will also alert you when you are Out of Range, even when you're not using the phone!
There are two dedicated Billed Services keys on the handset for your convenience. When pressed, these keys will automatically dial the appropriate keys for REPEAT DIALING, or 69 AUTO CALLBACK. There may
*
be an access charge for these services. Contact your local telephone company for more details.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interfer­ence, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interfer­ence that may cause undesired opera­tion of the device.
A label is located on the underside of the base unit containing either the FCC registration number and Ringer Equiva­lence Number (REN) or the Industry Canada (IC) registration number and Load Number. You must, upon re­quest, provide this information to your local telephone company.
This equipment is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.
Should you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact:
FCC Part 15
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment gener­ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful inter­ference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particu­lar installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures: AMERITECH at 1-800-456-6858. For repair/warranty information. The

FCC Regulations
FCC Part 68
The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the nation­wide telephone network through a modular telephone jack (USOC RJ11C, RJ11W or RJ14).
Your telephone company may discon­tinue your service if your equipment causes harm to the telephone network. They will notify you in advance of disconnection, if possible. During notification, you will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Occasionally, your telephone com­pany may make changes in its facili­ties, equipment, operation, or proce­dures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If so, you will be given advance notice of the change to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
The base unit contains no user service­able parts. The handset contains a user replaceable battery pack.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the phone company or Party Lines.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still enable the devices to ring when you receive a call. The general rule is that the REN value should not exceed 5.0A total; however, contact your local telephone company for the specific number in your area.
Your Ameritech AM 1930 is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by the FCC. This means your handset and base unit can communicate only over a certain distance - which will depend on the location of the base unit and handset, weather, and the construction and layout of your home or office.
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be used and that it be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the manufacturer's Limited Warranty.

REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
Charging The Handset Battery Pack The handset of yourAmeritech AM 1930 cordless telephone is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. It charges automatically whenever the handset is in the base. You should charge the battery pack for 16 hours when you first receive your phone. You’ll know the battery pack needs charging when:
• The phone emits a warning tone when you press the PHONE key.
• The low battery message is displayed:
To Charge The Battery Pack
To charge the battery pack, place the handset in the base unit. The CHARGE indicator will light to show the handset is seated properly and the battery pack is charging. It is recommended that the battery pack be charged for at least 16 hours initially and 8 hours for mainte­nance charging. You can use your telephone before that with diminished capacity, but it is best to charge the battery pack fully. It will take several recharge cycles to maximize the charge capacity of your battery pack. The maximum battery life between charges is 7 hours of continuous talk time or 7 days of stand- by.
Alternatively, if you have purchased a spare battery pack and it has been charging in the base unit, simply exchange the drained handset battery pack with the fully charged replace­ment battery pack from the base charger. Place the drained handset battery pack into the base charger to recharge.
The base spare battery charger does NOT charge a battery pack as quickly as the handset battery charger. A full charge requires 24 hours when using the spare battery charger.
It's Impossible To Overcharge The Battery Pack The battery pack can be recharged many times, but if you get a low battery message even after 16 hours of charging in the base cradle (or 24 hours in the base spare battery charger), the battery pack(s) should be replaced.
To purchase replacement battery packs, call Ameritech at 1-800-456-
6858. A Word About Rechargeable Batteries
Your NiCad battery pack recharges whenever the Handset is returned to the Base Unit cradle. You may return the Handset to its cradle whenever you're not using the phone.

Power Backup
When a Spare Battery pack is installed in the Base Unit, the Ameritech AM 1930 uses this battery pack to provide operational backup in case of a power failure. If you have a fully charged battery pack in the Spare Battery pack charger and there is a power outage, you will still be able to place and receive calls on the Handset for up to five hours.
Note:
During Power Backup mode the Base Unit telephone functions are not oper­able. In addition, Caller ID information may not be reliable.
Replacing a Drained Handset Battery
The Spare Battery pack can also be used to replace a drained Handset battery pack to ensure uninterrupted use. Be sure to put the drained battery pack in the Spare Battery charger for recharging.
Please note that the Spare Battery compartment charges at a slower rate than a battery pack charging in the Handset. It takes 24 hours to fully charge a battery pack in the Spare Battery charger.

CALLER ID
Caller ID
Your Ameritech AM 1930 cordless phone is capable of displaying the name and/or phone number of the person calling, before you answer the phone. Subscription to Caller ID service through your local phone company is required to utilize this feature.
If you subscribe to alphanumeric (name and number) Caller ID service, the calling party's name and phone number (when available) will be displayed on the handset screen while the phone is ringing.
If you subscribe to numeric (number only) Caller ID service, the calling party's phone number (when available) will be displayed on the handset screen while the phone is ringing.
Call Waiting Caller ID (Type II )
Your Ameritech AM 1930 cordless phone is also capable of displaying Caller ID information in connection with a Call Waiting signal. If you are on a call, and receive a Call Waiting alert signal, the handset will display the name and/or number (when available) of the party trying to reach you. As above, subscription to Call Waiting ID service through your local phone company is required in order to utilize this feature.
A Word About Caller ID
Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID information may not be available for every call you receive. In addition, the calling party may intentionally block their name and phone number from being sent.
NOTE:
You must be in an area where Caller ID service is available and you must subscribe to it to use this feature.
If you do not subscribe to the Caller ID service, the phone will still operate normally, except that the Caller ID information is not received or displayed.
Receiving and Storing Calls
This unit receives and displays all Caller ID information: the caller’s telephone number, the caller’s name and the exact date and time of the call.
The phone sequentially numbers these call records and retains them in the unit’s memory for later review. The unit can store up to 50 numbers in its memory.
Once the Caller ID memory is full, any new call forces a deletion of the oldest call record.
Dialing From Caller ID Memory NOTE:
Only the last 7 digits of any number are displayed when dialing from Caller ID memory.
For example, when you press and hold the 7 key to view the phone number, you would see the following:
AM 1930 9/5/99, 12:14 AM32
32
CALLER ID
However, when you dial directly from Caller ID memory, only the last 7 digits of the received telephone number will be used. Consequently, you would actually dial this:
The Ameritech AM 1930 was de- signed to accommodate this situation. If you need to temporarily add a long distance prefix and /or area code (such as 1503) before the Caller ID number, do the following:
• Beginning from the standby mode, key in the necessary digits. Your display will look like this:
• Then, to temporarily add the last 7 digits only from a Caller ID memory, press CALLERS .
• Using the ( ) and (#) keys, scroll through the received calls to locate the number you wish to dial.
*
Special Message Indicators Out of Area Calls
If for any reason the telephone number of the caller is unavailable, or if the caller is outside the Caller ID service area, the message UNAVAILABLE is displayed.
“Private” Calls
If the caller has exercised the option to block his or her number from being sent, then the display will show
PRIVATE.
Transmission Error
If an error is detected, then the Caller ID information is incomplete and will not be displayed. TRANSMISSION ERROR will be displayed.
• Once you have located the number you wish to dial, simply press PHONE . The last seven digits will be added to the numbers already in the display, and the whole number shown below will be automatically dialed.
AM 1930 9/5/99, 12:14 AM33
The occasional appearance of TRANS- MISSION ERROR on your display does not indicate a problem with your unit or your telephone line. However, if this appears frequently, you may want to notify your telephone com­pany.

CALLER ID
Reviewing Numbers
Calls stored in memory can be reviewed by pressing CALLERS . The display will show the number of the most recent (Call #01). The top line of the display is used to indicate the memory location number and the bottom line of the display shows the name, see below:
There may be additional characters in the name which can not be shown on the current display. Press the ( 9 ) key. This will overwrite the Caller ID memory location on the top line to show up to a maximum of 15 alpha characters for the duration of the key press. The first 12 alpha characters will be on the top line with up to 3 additional characters on the second line.
Pressing the ( ) key displays the next lower in sequence call record.
*
Likewise, pressing the (#) key displays the next higher in sequence) call record. The higher the call number, the older the call.
To save you time in reviewing call records, you can “wrap-around” the call history log. For example, if you press the ( ) key enough to scroll back to the first record, pressing it

ADDITIONAL OPERATING TIPS
Noise Or Interference
Your Ameritech AM 1930 cordless telephone has auto-channel scan circuitry which will detect excess noise and change the channel of the phone to reduce it. This is done automatically.
Out Of Range When Phone Is On
Since the Ameritech AM 1930 is a fully digital phone, it does not suffer from noise associated with regular cordless phones. At times you may experience occasional "drop outs", especially at the extreme edges of the phone's range. Simply move closer to the base unit and this will disappear.
Automatic Security Coding
Your Ameritech AM 1930 phone is factory set with 16.8 million possible security codes. This unique security code allows your handset and base to recognize each other, and minimizes the possibility of another cordless phone using your telephone line.
Out Of Range indication
If the handset is moved to a point where the base and handset can no longer communicate, the handset will display CHANNEL SEARCHING and scan all channels in an attempt to re-link with the base.
If you are presently engaged in a phone conversation move closer to the base. If the base unit does not communicate with the handset within 25 seconds of losing contact, it will automatically hang up.
Out Of Range When Phone Is Off
When the phone is OFF, the handset and base still monitor each other to make sure that they can communicate. If the handset is moved out of range, the handset will display CHANNEL SEARCHING. The handset will scan all channels in an attempt to reestablish communication with the base. This process does not require user intervention; the handset will re-link with the base automatically once it is brought back within range. The unit will then be able to receive and place calls.

MAINTENANCE
Taking Care Of Your Telephone
Your Ameritech AM 1930 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 outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your base unit near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment.
For your own safety, use 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 your base unit 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.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If you have difficulty operating your phone, the suggestions below should solve the problem. If you still have difficulty after trying these suggestions, call Ameritech at 1-800-456-6858.
THE PHONE DOESN’T WORK AT ALL.
• Make sure the Power Cord is plugged in
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone wall jack.
• Make sure the batteries are properly charged. If the 'LOW BATTERY' message is shown, the battery pack needs charging.
NO DIAL TONE.
• First check all the suggestions above.
• If you still don’t hear a dial tone, disconnect the base unit from the telephone jack and connect a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company.
YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A WEAK SIGNAL EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NEAR THE BASE UNIT.
• Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base unit can sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base unit to another outlet.
YOU GET NOISE, STATIC, OR A WEAK SIGNAL WHEN YOU’RE AWAY FROM THE BASE UNIT.
• You may be out of range. Either move closer to the base, or relocate the base unit.
. Raise the Base Unit antenna to an
upright position, if the Base Unit is wallmounted, raise the antenna to point at the ceiling.
• The layout of your home may be limiting the range. Try moving the base unit to another position.
THE HANDSET DOES NOT RING WHEN YOU RECEIVE A CALL.
• Make sure you have the handset ringer activated. To set the ringer, see "PROGRAMMING THE RINGER".
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
• You may be too far from the base unit.
• You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of the other phones.
YOU HEAR OTHER CALLS WHILE USING YOUR PHONE.
• Disconnect your base unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company.
AM 1930 9/5/99, 12:14 AM38
