BEFORE YOU BEGIN
About the Base and the Charger
This cordless product provides you with two cordless handsets, a base
station and a spare charger. You can charge either handset in the base or in
the spare charger. You’ll need to connect the base to both AC power and a
modular telephone jack. You’ll connect the spare charger to AC power
only. For more installation information, please see INSTALLATION in this
User’s Manual.
About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with
service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who’s 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 they may not be available in
all areas.
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.
About Call History
This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 25. The most
recent call will have the lowest number. When the memory is full, the
oldest call information is deleted to make room for new incoming call
information.
If you answer a call before call information appears on the screen, it will
not be in the call history.

BATTERIES
Battery Life
Battery life depends on how far the handset is from the base, and other
environmental conditions.
NOTE: For optimum performance, charge your handset on the base or
charger every night.
Charge the Handset Battery Pack
•
This battery should remain charged for up to three days. A fully
charged battery provides an average talk time of about five hours.
The battery pack needs charging when:
•
– The battery icon (
) flashes,
– A warning tone sounds, or
– The screen displays LOW BATTERYwhen idle.
Place the handset in the base or charger so the CHARGING light goes
on. The battery pack is typically charged in eight hours. For best
results, the initial charge should be 12 hours.
•
•
•
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the
base or charger after each use.
If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after eight hours of
charging, the battery should be replaced. Use only AT&T Battery 2422,
SKU# 23402.
CAUTION: Charge the battery provided with or identified for use
with this product only in accordance with the instructions and
limitations specified in the User’s Manual, Part 1.

IN CASEOFDIFFICULTYT
If you have difficulty operating this phone, try the suggestions below.
1 800 222–3111. Please retain your receipt as your proof of purchase.
If the phone does not work at all, check these items first:
•
Make sure the power cord is plugged into the base and an electrical
outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
•
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit
and the telephone jack.
•
•
Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.
If the screen displays LOW BATTERY, place the handset in the base or
charger and charge for at least eight hours.
•
If the battery does not charge after eight hours, replace it with AT&T
Battery 2422, SKU# 23402.
If the above suggestions do not solve the problem, try re-initializing the
handset and base (see “To re-initialize the handset and base” below).
If you have no dial tone:
Check all the previous suggestions. If you still do not hear a dial tone,
disconnect the phone and try another phone in the same jack. If there is
no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is probably in your wiring
or local service.
If you hear a two-beep signal when you try to use the handset:
•
The handset and base are not communicating properly. You might be
out of range. Move closer to the base and try again.
If moving closer to the base does not help, follow the directions below
to re-initialize the handset and base.
•
To re-initialize the handset and base:
1
Disconnect the power to the base.
Remove the handset battery pack.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
2
3
4
5
6
7
Insert the handset battery pack.
Connect the power to the base.
Put the handset in the base to re-initialize.
Wait for handset to display READY(or handset name).
19
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:
•
You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.
•
Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can
sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base to
another outlet.
•
•
The layout of your home or office may be limiting the operating range.
Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an upper floor.
Using the handset near household appliances (microwaves, computers,
televisions, stereos, etc.) can sometimes cause interference. Move away
from appliances while using the handset.
If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
•
Make sure the ringer is on.
•
Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly to the base and
the telephone jack.
•
Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an electrical outlet not
controlled by a wall switch.
•
•
You might be too far from the base; move closer.
You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to
allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.
If your telephone misdials:
•
If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, you’ll need to set the dial mode
to PULSE. Follow the instructions under “Set Dial Mode” in the
FEATURE SETUP section of this manual.
•
If you have touch tone service and you hear clicks while you are dialing,
you’ll need to set the dial mode to DTMF. Follow the instructions under
“Set Dial Mode”in the FEATURE SETUP section of this manual.
If the caller’s name or phone number is not displayed:
•
Make sure you subscribe to a Caller ID service from your local
telephone company.
•
•
Make sure the battery is charged.
Caller ID service might not work when the phone is connected to a
Private Branch Exchange (PBX).
If the caller’s name or phone number is not displayed during
Call Waiting:
•
You should call your service provider to confirm that you subscribe to
a combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service.
Caller ID information received during Call Waiting is displayed only on
the handset that is in use. The information is stored in the Caller ID log
on both handsets.
•
•
Make sure the battery is charged
