About names
Names of callers will be displayed only if the information
is provided by your local telephone company.
Chris
If the telephone number of the caller matches
an exact number in your directory, the name that
appears on screen will match the name already in
the directory.

10:01AM 11/23
Example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will
appear as Chris if this is how it was entered in the
directory.
NOTE: The number shown in your caller ID will be in the format
sent by the telephone company. The telephone company usually
delivers ten-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone
number). If the telephone number of the person calling does not
exactly match a number in your directory, the name will appear as
delivered by the telephone company. For example if the telephone
company includes the area code and the directory number does
not, the name will appear as delivered by the telephone company.
Missed calls
When a handset is in idle mode with calls un-reviewed,
its screen will show XX MISSED CALLS.
Un-reviewed entries will be counted as missed calls
when the telephone is idle. Each time a call log entry
marked NEW is reviewed, the number of missed calls
decreases by one.

If there are too many missed calls and you don’t want
to review them one by one but still want to keep

Important safety instructions
Especially about cordless telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone convenient create
some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the
handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless phone con-
versations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of
the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless phone
conversations as being as private as those on corded phones.
• Electrical power: The telephone base 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 handset if the tel-
ephone base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is inter-
rupted.
• Power adapter: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a
vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug
in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an under-the-table/cabinet outlet.
• Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near
or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR 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 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 indus-
try 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 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 digital cordless telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led
a multidisciplinary 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.

ful 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 recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.
To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio
frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according
to the intended usage of the product. This product has been tested and found to
comply with the FCC criteria. The handset may be safely held against the ear of
the user. The telephone base shall be installed and used such that parts of the

a valid proof of purchase (“CONSUMER” or “you”) that the product and
all accessories provided in the sales package (“PRODUCT”) are free from
defects in material and workmanship, pursuant to the following terms
and conditions, when installed and used normally and in accordance with
the PRODUCT operating instructions. This limited warranty extends only
to the CONSUMER for products purchased and used in the United States of
America and Canada.
2. What will be done if the PRODUCT is not free from defects in materials
and workmanship during the limited warranty period (“materially defective
PRODUCT”)?
During the limited warranty period, the manufacturer’s authorized service
representative will repair or replace at the manufacturer’s option, without
charge, a materially defective PRODUCT. If the manufacturer repairs the
PRODUCT, they may use new or refurbished replacement parts. If the
manufacturer chooses to replace the PRODUCT, they may replace it with
a new or refurbished PRODUCT of the same or similar design. The
manufacturer will retain defective parts, modules, or equipment. Repair
or replacement of the PRODUCT, at the manufacturer’s option, is your
exclusive remedy. The manufacturer will return repaired or replacement
products to you in working condition. You should expect the repair or
replacement to take approximately 30 days.
3. How long is the limited warranty period?
The limited warranty period for the PRODUCT extends for ONE (1) YEAR
from the date of purchase. If the manufacturer repairs or replaces a
materially defective PRODUCT under the terms of this limited warranty,
this limited warranty also applies to repaired or replacement PRODUCT
for a period of either (a) 90 days from the date the repaired or replacement
PRODUCT is shipped to you or (b) the time remaining on the original one-
year limited warranty; whichever is longer.

ufacturer assumes no risk for damage or loss of the PRODUCT in transit. If the

repair activity. You must pay for the cost of repair and return shipping costs for

7. Other limitations
This warranty is the complete and exclusive agreement between you and
the manufacturer of this AT&T branded PRODUCT. It supersedes all other
written or oral communications related to this PRODUCT. The manufacturer
provides no other warranties for this PRODUCT. The warranty exclusively
describes all of the manufacturer’s responsibilities regarding the PRODUCT.
There are no other express warranties. No one is authorized to make modi-

ification.
State/Provincial Law Rights: This warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state or prov-
ince to province.
Limitations: Implied warranties, including those of fitness for a particular
purpose and merchantability (an unwritten warranty that the PRODUCT is
fit for ordinary use) are limited to one year from date of purchase. Some
states/provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. In no event shall the
manufacturer be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or
similar damages (including, but not limited to lost profits or revenue, inabil-
ity to use the PRODUCT or other associated equipment, the cost of substi-
tute equipment, and claims by third parties) resulting from the use of this
PRODUCT. Some states/provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclu-
sion may not apply to you.
Please retain your original sales receipt as proof of purchase.
