Information about Caller ID with Call Waiting  
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 is 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 CallWaiting, but as separate services  
(you may need combined service).  
You have only Caller ID service, or only CallWaiting service.  
You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or CallWaiting 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.  
Depending on your service, you may see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and  
number. 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.  
The time and date are sent by the service provider along with the call information.

Caller ID and CallWaiting  
Telephone Operating Range  
Caller ID with CallWaiting features in  
this telephone let you see who's call-  
ing before you answer the phone, even  
when you're on another call. These  
features require services provided by  
your local telephone company.  
The cordless telephone handset oper-  
ates with the maximum power allowed  
by the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC).This cordless  
handset and the telephone base unit  
can communicate over only a certain  
distance - which can vary with the  
locations of the base unit and the  
cordless handset, the weather, and the  
construction of your home or office.  
Contact your telephone service pro-  
vider if:  
• you have both Caller ID and Call  
Waiting, but as separate services  
(you may need combined service),  
If there is an incoming call but the  
cordless handset is out of range, the  
cordless handset might not ring - or if  
it does ring, the call might not connect  
well when PHONE is pressed. Move  
closer to the base, then press PHONE  
to answer the call.  
• you have only Caller ID service, or  
only CallWaiting service, or  
• you currently do not have any  
Caller ID or CallWaiting services.  
You can use this telephone with regu-  
lar Caller ID service, and you can use  
its other features without subscribing  
to either Caller ID or combined Caller  
ID with CallWaiting service. There  
may be fees for these services, and  
they may not be available in all areas.  
If you move out of range during a tele-  
phone conversation, you might hear  
noise or interference from the cord-  
less handset. To improve reception,  
move closer to the telephone base  
unit.  
Caller ID features will work only if  
both you and the caller are in areas  
offering Caller ID service, and if both  
telephone companies use compatible  
equipment.  
If you move out of range without  
pressing OFF, your telephone will be  
left "off the hook" and the line will be  
busy. To hang up properly, walk back  
toward the telephone base unit while  
periodically pressing OFF until the call  
is disconnected.  
See Caller ID Operation on page 22  
for more details about how these fea-  
tures work.  
If you experience noise or interference  
while on a call, press the CHAN button  
until you find a clearer channel.

Separate Caller ID logs are kept in the cordless hand-

stored in each call log. You can review the call log to  
find out who has called, return the call without dial-  
ing, or transfer the caller’s name and number into your  
phone directory.  
Each incoming call is numbered. The most recent call is  
assigned the highest number. When the call log is full,  
the oldest call information is deleted to make room for  
new incoming call information.  
If you answer a call before the information appears on  
the screen, it will not be saved in your call log.  
NOTE: Caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in  
areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use  
compatible equipment.  
NOTE: Each cordless handset's call log is independent of the other  
cordless handset's call logs. For example, when you delete one or all  
call log entries from one cordless handset, the information on all other cord-  
less handsets does not change.

Troubleshooting  
If you have difficulty with your phone, please try the suggestions below. For Customer  
Service, visit our web site at www.telephones.att.com, or call 1-800-222-3111. In  
Canada, call 1-866-288-4268.  
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.  
My phone  
doesn’t work  
at all.  
Make sure that the battery wire is securely plugged into the cordless  
handset.  
Make sure the telephone line cord is securely plugged firmly into the  
telephone base and the telephone wall jack.  
Charge the battery pack in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours.  
For optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to its  
base when not in use.  
Reset the base. Unplug the unit’s electrical power. Wait for approxi-  
mately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for  
the cordless handset and base to reset.  
If your batteries are old, you may need to purchase a new battery  
pack, please refer to page 7 of this user’s manual.  
First try all the suggestions above.  
I cannot get a  
dial tone.  
Move the cordless handset closer to the base. You might have moved  
out of range.  
Your line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new line cord.  
If the previous suggestions don’t work, 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 ser-  
vice. Contact your local telephone company.  
I cannot dial  
out.  
First try all the suggestions above.  
Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless handset  
may take a second or two to find the base and produce a dial tone.  
This is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.  
Make sure your phone is set to the correct dial mode for the type of  
service that you have (pulse or touch tone). Refer to the Installation  
section of this user’s manual (page 11) to set the dial mode.  
If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the  
problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local tele-  
phone company (charges may apply).  
Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or  
other appliance may cause the phone to not dial out properly. If you  
cannot eliminate the background noise, first try muting the cordless  
handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your home  
with less background noise.

Other cordless phones and 802.11 wireless routers that are used for  
home computer networks both use internal radios to communicate.  
The radios may interfere with one another. You can improve the per-  
formance of your cordless phones and your router by:  
I get noise,  
static, or weak  
signal even  
when I’m near  
the base.  
a. Positioning your new phone as far away as possible from any other  
existing cordless telephone system that is already installed in your  
home to avoid the two systems interfering with each other.  
b. Positioning your telephone base as far as possible from your rout-  
er, computer or any other computer devices.  
c. Selecting channels 4 through 10 for your router (refer to your rout-  
er’s user manual for more information).  
d. If you still have problems with the phone or the router, make sure  
the handset is ON and press CHAN until the performance improves.  
Press the CHAN button while on a call until the interference has been  
eliminated.  
Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless  
phone. Try installing your phone as far away from the following elec-  
tronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, radio towers,  
pager towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions,  
personal computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless phones.  
Microwaves operate on the same frequency as your phone. It is nor-  
mal to experience static on your phone while the microwave oven is  
operating. Do not install this phone in the same outlet or near a micro-  
wave oven.  
If your phone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug  
the phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this  
solves the problem, re-locate your phone or modem farther apart  
from one another, or use a different surge protector.  
Relocate your phone to a higher location. The phone will likely have  
better reception when not installed in a low area.  
If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the  
problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local tele-  
phone company (charges may apply).  
If you subscribe to DSL service and if you hear noise during conver-  
sations and/or your caller ID features are not functioning properly,  
install a noise filter to the telephone line between the base unit and  
the telephone line jack. Contact your DSL provider to obtain a noise  
filter.  
Press the CHAN key while on a call to change to a clear channel.  
I hear other  
calls while  
using my  
phone.  
Disconnect the base unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a dif-  
ferent telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably  
in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone company.

set to its base when not in use. If your battery becomes completely  
depleted, make sure to charge it for at least 15 minutes before  
attempting to place a call.  
You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to  
allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some of the  
other phones.  
The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating  
range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an  
upper floor.  
If the other phones in your home are having the same problem, the  
problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local tele-  
phone company (charges may apply).  
Test a working phone at the phone jack. If another phone has the  
same problem, the problem is the phone jack. Contact your local

Appendix  
Important Safety Instructions  
Especially About CordlessTelephones  
Privacy:The same features that make a cordless phone convenient create some  
limitations.Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the cordless hand-  
set by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone conversations  
could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless  
handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless phone conversa-  
tions as being as private as those on corded phones.  
Electrical Power:The base unit of this cordless telephone must be connected to  
a working electrical outlet.The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall  
switch. Calls cannot be made from the cordless handset if the base unit is  
unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.  
PotentialTV Interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that  
may cause interference toTVs andVCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference,  
do not place the base unit of the cordless telephone near or on top of aTV orVCR.  
If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the  
TV orVCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.  
Rechargeable Batteries:This product contains either Nickel-Cadmium or  
Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in  
order not to short the battery with conducting 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-Cadmium Rechargeable Batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of  
properly. Do not dispose of them in household garbage. 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-Cadmium 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 1-800-8 BATTERY for locations accepting spent Nickel-Cadmium Batteries. Nickel-Metal  
Hydride Rechargeable Batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batter-  
ies of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.  
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.

Precautions for Users of Implanted Cardiac Pacemakers  
Cardiac Pacemakers (applies only to 900 MHz Digital CordlessTelephones):  
WirelessTechnology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a mul-  
tidisciplinary evaluation of the interference between portable wireless telephones and  
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,  
WTR had recommended to physicians that:  
PACEMAKER PATIENTS  
• Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the pacemaker.  
• Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast  
pocket, when it is turned ON.  
• Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.  
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other  
persons using wireless phones.
