(not included).  
See page 4 for easy  
instructions.  
STOP!  
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 6). 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 telephone  
base display - remove it before use.  
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons or damage to  
the telephone, read and follow these instructions carefully:  
• Use only alkaline AA batteries (not included).  
• 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.  
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and  
may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.  
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit. Do  
not allow conductive materials such as rings, bracelets or keys to touch the  
battery. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.  
• Use the battery identified for use with this product only in accordance with  
the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.  
• Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery and metallic contacts.  
• Do not disassemble your telephone. There are no serviceable parts inside.  
Refer to qualified service personnel for servicing.

dial, clock, Audio Assist® and the INCOMING CALL light.  
If you unplug the telephone line cord from the telephone wall jack when there  
are no working batteries installed, the following information will be lost: caller  
ID history, directory entries, speed dial entries, and all settings in the feature  
menu. We recommend you install new batteries before initial use and change  
the batteries soon after the low battery icon  
appears.  
CAUTION: Always unplug the telephone line cord before installing new batteries.

Caller ID  
About caller ID  
This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service  
providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls.  
The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.  
Information about caller ID with call waiting  
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of  
the caller before answering the call, even while on another call.  
It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature.  
Contact your telephone service provider if:  
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may  
need to combine these services).  
• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.  
• You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.  
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services 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 service providers use  
compatible equipment. The time and date, along with the call information, are  
from the telephone service provider.  
Caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. Callers may  
intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.  
NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s  
other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

Caller ID  
Caller ID history  
How the caller ID history (caller ID log) works  
The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 65 incoming calls.  
Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the  
oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. If you answer  
a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the  
caller ID history.  
Missed (new) call indicator  
When the telephone is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen  
shows XX MISSED CALLS.  
16 MISSED CALLS  
All new and missed entries are counted as missed calls.  
Each time you review a new caller ID log entry  
(indicated by the NEW icon on the screen), the number  
12:00AM  
11/20  
of missed calls decreases by one.  
When the telephone is in idle mode, you can press and hold CANCEL to clear  
the missed call indicator.  
29  
 
Caller ID  
Caller ID operation  
Memory match  
If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven digits of a  
telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen  
matches the corresponding name in your directory.  
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as CHRIS if this is how  
you entered it into your directory.  
NOTE: The number shown in the caller ID log will be in the format sent by the telephone  
service provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit phone numbers  
(area code plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a  
number in your directory, the name will appear as it is delivered by the telephone  
service provider.

Troubleshooting  
If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below.  
For customer service, or to purchase accessories or replacement parts, visit  
our website at www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111.  
In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.  
My telephone does not work at all.  
• Unplug the batteries and telephone line cord. Wait for approximately  
15 seconds, then plug them in again. Allow up to one minute for the  
telephone to synchronize.  
There is no dial tone.  
• Try the suggestion above.  
• The telephone line cord may be defective. Try installing a new telephone  
line cord.  
• Make sure the coiled handset cord is securely installed between the  
handset and the telephone base.  
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone jack and connect a  
different telephone. If there is no dial tone on that telephone either, the  
problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone  
service provider (charges may apply).  
I cannot dial out.  
• Try all suggestions above.  
• Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the telephone  
takes a second or two before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second  
before dialing.  
• Check that all the telephones connected to the same telephone line are  
hung up.  
• Make sure to set the DIAL MODE to the correct setting (touch-tone dialing or  
pulse dialing) for the service in your area (see Dial mode on page 12).  
• If any of your other telephones are having the same problem, the problem  
is in the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service  
provider (charges may apply).  
• If you are using the speakerphone, eliminate any background noise. Noise  
from a television, radio, or other appliances might cause the telephone to  
not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try  
muting the telephone before dialing, or dialing from another room in your  
home with less background noise.  
38  
 
Appendix  
Troubleshooting  
The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.  
• Make sure the ringer is on (see page 16).  
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged in properly (see Telephone  
installation on page 6).  
• There may be too many extension telephones on the telephone line to allow  
all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging one telephone at a time  
until the telephones start ringing.  
• Test a working telephone at the same telephone jack. If another telephone  
has the same problem, the problem is in the telephone jack. Contact your  
telephone service provider (charges may apply).  
• The telephone line cord may be defective. Try installing a new telephone  
line cord.  
My calls fade out or cut in and out when I am using the telephone.  
• If you are using the handset when this problem occurs, try unplugging the  
coiled handset cord and firmly plugging it in the handset and telephone  
base again.  
• If you are using the speakerphone when this problem occurs, eliminate any  
background noise. Noise from the television, radio, or other appliances may  
cause the speakerphone to cut in and out. Try pressing MUTE when you are  
not speaking to eliminate the background noise.  
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug  
in another corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is  
probably in the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service  
provider (charges may apply).  
• 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 Telephone  
installation on page 6). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems  
caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for  
more information about DSL filters.  
I hear other calls when using the telephone.  
• Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack. Plug in a  
different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in  
the wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone service provider  
(charges may apply).

Battery installation on pages 4-5).  
Operation during a power failure.  
• This telephone operates during a power failure if a telephone line cord is  
plugged between the telephone wall jack and the telephone base. You are  
able to answer calls with the handset, and make calls using the dialing  
keys. No other features work unless batteries are installed. All settings in  
menu options are retained during a power failure if a telephone line cord is  
plugged between the telephone wall jack and the telephone base.  
• If you neither install batteries nor a telephone line, after a few minutes, the  
telephone clears the directory, caller ID history, speed dial memory, and the  
last number dialed memory. At the same time, all settings in menu options  
change back to their default settings.  
My caller ID features are not working properly.  
• Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from  
your telephone service provider for this feature to work on your telephone.  
• The caller may not be calling from an area that supports caller ID.  
• Both your and the caller’s telephone service providers must use equipment  
compatible with caller ID service.  
• 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 Telephone  
installation on page 6). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems  
caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for  
more information about DSL filters.  
• Make sure the area codes are set correctly (see Home area code on  
page 13 and Local area code on page 14).  
• Reset the telephone. See Common cure for electronic equipment on  
page 41.  
The telephone does not receive caller ID or the telephone does not  
display caller ID during call waiting.  
• Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features provided by  
the telephone service provider.

• Make sure to plug your USB telephone adapter into a dedicated USB port on  
your computer. Do not plug into a multiple port USB hub (USB splitter) that  
is not powered.  
• In a few rare instances, the USB port on your computer may not have  
enough power. In these instances, try using a USB hub with its own  
external power supply.  
• If you are using a firewall, it may prevent access to your nontraditional  
telephone service provider. Contact your service provider for more  
information.  
Common cure for electronic equipment:  
If the telephone is not responding normally, try resetting the telephone. Do  
the following in the order listed:  
1. Disconnect the telephone line cord from the telephone base.  
2. Remove the batteries.  
3. Wait a few minutes before connecting the telephone line cord to the  
telephone base.  
4. Place the batteries back.  
5. Wait for the telephone to synchronize its connection. This might take up to  
one minute.

Appendix  
General product care  
To keep your telephone working well and looking good, follow these guidelines:  
• Avoid putting it near heating appliances and devices that generate  
electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).  
• DO NOT expose it to direct sunlight or moisture.  
• Avoid dropping the telephone or treating it roughly.  
• Clean with a soft cloth.  
• Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this can  
damage the finish.  
• Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship it at a later date.

handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an environment containing concentrations of  
flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an  
environment could create a fire or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of  
oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.);  
a leak of natural gas; etc.  
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet  
basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do not  
use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquids,  
unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried  
thoroughly.  
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power cords.  
Protect cords from damage or abrasion.  
If this product does not operate normally, read Troubleshooting in this user’s manual on  
pages 38-41. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to Limited  
warranty on pages 46-47. Do not open this product except as may be directed in your user’s  
manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to hazardous  
voltages or other risks.

US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ indicates the REN would be 0.3.  
The REN is used to determine how many devices you can connect to your telephone line  
and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENS  
should be five (5.0) or less. You might want to contact your telephone service provider for  
more information.  
2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network  
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and the telephone  
network must comply with the applicable part 68 rules and technical requirements adopted  
by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It  
is designed to be connected to a compatible modular wall jack that is also compliant. An  
RJ11 jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two  
lines, see installation instructions in the user’s manual. This equipment may not be used with  
coin telephone lines or with party lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment  
connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not disable  
your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable the alarm equipment,  
consult your telephone service provider or qualified installer.  
3. Repair instructions  
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular wall jack until the  
problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the  
manufacturer or its authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined  
under the limited warranty.  
4. Rights of the telephone service provider  
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone service provider  
may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone service provider is  
required to notify you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be  
notified as soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the  
telephone service provider is required to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the  
FCC. Your telephone service provider may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation,  
or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this product. The telephone service  
provider is required to notify you if such changes are planned.  
5. Hearing aid compatibility  
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.

Appendix  
FCC and ACTA information  
6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers  
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire department  
and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If you do, please keep  
three things in mind:  
a. We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory card (if  
applicable), so that you can still dial the emergency number manually if the memory dialing  
feature doesn’t work.  
b. This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer assumes no  
responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.  
c. Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not recommended. However,  
if you do make a call to an emergency number:  
You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before hanging up.  
Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed during off-peak  
hours, such as in the early morning or late evening, when the emergency services tend  
to be less busy.  
Part 15 of FCC rules  
Some telephone equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if  
not installed and used properly, may cause interference to radio and television reception. This  
product has been tested and found to meet the standards for a class B digital device, as specified  
in part 15 of the FCC rules.  
These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference  
in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a  
particular installation.  
If this product causes interference to radio, VCR or television reception when it is in use, you  
might correct the interference with any one or all of these measures:  
Where it can be done safely, re-orient the receiving radio, VCR or television antenna.  
To the extent possible, relocate the radio, VCR, television or other receiver with respect to the  
telephone equipment.  
If this telephone product runs on AC power, plug your product into an AC outlet that’s not on  
the same circuit as one used by your radio, VCR or television.  
Consult a dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
Modifications to this product, not expressly approved by the manufacturer, could void the  
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
