Getting started
Installation
You must install and charge
the battery before using the
cordless handset.
See pages 11-13 for easy
instructions.
Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not
controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface
or vertically mounted on the wall (page 15). For optimum range and better
reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.
You may hear interference if your cellular phone is too close to the telephone
base during a CELLULAR call. Make sure that your Bluetooth enabled cellular
phone is within 15 feet of the telephone base in order to maintain a clear and
consistent connection between your Bluetooth cell phone, telephone base and
cell tower.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line)
through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (page 9). The filter prevents
noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your
DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
Your product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the handset or
telephone base display - remove it before use.
For customer service or product information, visit our website at
www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial
1 (866) 288-4268.
Avoid placing the telephone base and charger too close to:
Communication devices such as television sets, VCRs, or other
•
cordless telephones.
Excessive heat sources.
•
Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave
•
ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.
Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
•
Excessive moisture.
•
Extremely low temperature.
•
Mechanical vibration or shock, such as on top of washing machine or
•
workbench.

Operation
During battery backup mode, the telephone base, answering system and all
Bluetooth related features will be disabled. The operating time is subject to the
battery level of the handset placed in the telephone base and the actual usage.
For optimal performance, we recommend that you do not use the handset
placed in the telephone base when this mode is on.
Using other system handsets (Recommended):
Operate the handsets the same way as usual, except the answering system and
all Bluetooth related features which will be disabled.
Using the handset placed in the telephone base:
To maximize the operating time, you are not advised to use this handset. If
you do have to use it, make sure you do not lift it from the telephone base. All
operations should be done with the handset placed in the telephone base. In
this case, calls can only be made and received using the speakerphone.

Caller ID announce
The caller ID announce feature lets you know who’s calling without having to
look at the display. When you have an incoming call, the handset and/or base
announces “Call from...” and the name of the caller based on the directory
or caller ID information. If the caller’s name is private or unknown, the phone
number up to the last 11 digits will be announced. If the caller’s phone number
is also private or unknown, no information will be announced. By default, the
caller ID announce feature is On.

NOTES:
To use the caller ID announce feature, you must subscribe to caller ID
•
service from your telephone service provider.
If you have paired an AT&T TL80133 DECT 6.0 cordless speakerphone
•
to the telephone base, the caller ID announce setting for all devices
also applies to the cordless speakerphone. When the setting is On, the
cordless speakerphone speaks “Call from...” and the name of the caller
based on the directory or caller ID information during an incoming call.
If the caller’s name is unavailable, the phone number up to the last 11
digits will be announced.
When there are up to five handsets registered, the telephone system supports caller ID
•
announce for all handsets. If six or more handsets are registered, the system supports caller ID
announce for the first four registered handsets only.
This feature does not announce information for call waiting calls.
•
When this feature is on, the telephone plays both the caller ID information and the ringer at the
•
same time when there is an incoming call.
It takes at least two rings for the phone to receive caller ID information and announce it. If the
•
phone is answered before the end of the second ring, the phone will not have time to announce
the caller’s information.
Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be pronounced correctly.
