Getting started

See pages 8-9 for easy instructions.

You must install and charge the battery before using the telephone.

STOP!

Installation

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 (see page 11). For optimum range and better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.

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 (see the following page). 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 protective stickers covering the handset and telephone base displays - remove them 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 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 a washing machine

or workbench.

Introducing Bluetooth

Your new AT&T CLP99183/CLP99283/CLP99353/CLP99383/CLP99483/

CLP99553/CLP99583 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology

has the following features:

Pair up to 4 Bluetooth enabled devices (cell phones or headsets) with the telephone base.

Connect a maximum of 2 Bluetooth enabled devices to make and receive cell calls. Both Bluetooth enabled devices can be active on a call at a time.

Connect a Bluetooth enabled headset for making and receiving home calls. Conference any combination of cell and home call. Make and receive calls using your cell phone service with your telephone

base or system handsets.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

After plugging in the telephone base, wait at least 20 seconds before connecting a Bluetooth device. The screen shows Bluetooth system busy if you try to connect too soon.

Refer to the user's manual of your Bluetooth enabled cell phone or headset for more information about how that device uses Bluetooth connectivity.

Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (up to 30 feet) from the telephone base. Keep connected cell phones and headsets within this range.

If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the CLP99183/

CLP99283/CLP99353/CLP99383/CLP99483/CLP99553/CLP99583

cannot improve the reception. However, if there is a location in your house with better reception, you can leave your cell phone at that location while you use the CLP99183/CLP99283/CLP99353/CLP99383/CLP99483/

CLP99553/CLP99583 cell line. For optimal performance, the cell phone

must be within 15 feet of the telephone base. If you experience poor sound quality, it may be caused by the distance

between your cell phone and the telephone base. To improve the performance, place your cell phone closer to the telephone base (within 15 feet) and make sure that there are no physical obstacles such as large furniture or thick wall in between.

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 speaks “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. The default setting is On.

To turn on or off the caller ID announce feature:

1. Press MENU in idle mode to enter the main menu.

2. Press qCID or pDIR on the handset, or press qCALLER ID

or pDIRECTORY on the telephone base to scroll to Caller ID annc, then press SELECT.

3. Press qCID or pDIR on the handset, or press qCALLER ID

or pDIRECTORY on the telephone base to highlight On or Off, then press SELECT. There is a confirmation tone. The handset screen shows Caller ID Annc On on all HS & BS briefly and the telephone base screen shows Caller ID Annc On on all devices briefly before returning to the previous menu.

NOTES:

To use the caller ID announce feature, you must subscribe to caller ID service from your telephone service provider.

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. It takes at least 2 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 won’t have time to announce the caller’s information.

Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be pronounced correctly. Caller ID announce is available in English only.

If you dial seven digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter your area code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive a call from within your home area code, the caller ID history only displays the seven digits of the telephone number.

This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID log. If you dial ten digits to make a local phone call, do not use this home area code feature. If you do, you cannot place local calls from your caller ID log, as they will have only seven digits.

NOTE: If in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial ten digits to make a local call (area code plus telephone number), you need to delete your home area code and dial out locally from the call ID log. With the home area code displayed, press and hold MUTE/DELETE until the digits are deleted, and then press SELECT. The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
