Installation  
You must install and  
charge the battery before  
using the telephone.  
See pages 7-8 for  
easy instructions.  
�TO!  
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 9). 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

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.

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

• 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

Caller ID  
Caller ID history  
How the caller ID history (caller ID log) works  
The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls  
in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The  
phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new  
calls. This information is common to the telephone base and all handsets,  
so changes made using any handset or the telephone base are reflected  
in all other devices. If you answer a call before the information appears on  
the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.  
NOTE: Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for  
the name.  
Missed (new) call indicator  
When a handset or the telephone base is in idle mode and  
has new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls.

All new and missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each

You may need to change how a caller ID number is dialed if the entry does not appear  
in the correct format. Caller ID numbers may appear with an area code that may not be  
necessary for local calls, or without a 1 that may be necessary for long distance calls  
(see View dialing options on page 65).  
If the caller’s name you received from the telephone service provider is all in capital  
letters, the first letter of every word remains a capital letter, while other letters become  
lowercase. However, the next letter after the prefix “Mac”, “Mc”, “D’”, “C’” or “O’”, is  
kept as a capital letter. For example, the “D” in “MacDonald” is kept as a capital letter.  
Another exception is that “VAN DER” will be changed to “Van der”.  
If the telephone number from the caller ID information has already been saved in the  
directory under a different name, the new name will overwrite the old one.

Answering system and voicemail indicators  
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice  
messages: those left on its built-in digital answering system and those  
left at your telephone service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your  
telephone’s built-in digital answering system messages and voicemail  
messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.

• If  
and New voicemail display on the  
handset and the telephone base, your  
telephone service provider is indicating that  
it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your  
voicemail, you typically dial an access number  
provided by your telephone service provider,  
followed by a security code or PIN.  
Some telephone service providers bundle or  
combine multiple services like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be  
aware that you have voicemail. To check what services you have and how to  
access them, contact your telephone service provider.  
To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off  
your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your  
voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate  
your voicemail service.  
NOTE: After reviewing all new messages, the number of old messages appears on the  
message counter.  
Using the answering machine and voicemail together  
You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together  
by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail  
answers as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail  
settings, contact your telephone service provider. Then, if you are on a call,  
or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive  
another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.  
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than  
your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers  
after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings.  
Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls  
in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when  
determining the appropriate setting.

About the answering system  
Message capacity  
The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the  
length of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes,  
and the maximum recording time is approximately 14 minutes. The actual  
recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages  
remain available for replay until you delete them.  
When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system,  
the number of messages stored shows in the message counter.  
If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time  
left, it announces, “Less than three minutes to record,” before message  
playback at the handset or the telephone base. Rec mem low displays on  
the device screen in idle mode. When you turn on the answering system at  
the telephone base, it announces, “Calls will be answered. Less than three  
minutes to record.”  
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full,”  
before message playback. The device screen displays Rec mem full in idle  
mode. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn the answering system back  
on if it has been turned off, nor can you record new messages until old  
ones have been deleted. Memory full displays if you want to turn on the  
answering system on the handset but there is no memory.

order. If there are no new messages, the system plays back all the messages  
(in chronological order). If there are both new and old messages, you have  
the option of playing the new or old messages.  
When playback begins, the total number of messages is announced. Before  
each message, you hear the day and time of the recording. If the date and  
time are not set, you hear, “Time and date not set,” before playback. After  
the last message, you hear, “End of messages.” If the recording time is less  
than three minutes, you hear, “Less than three minutes to record” before  
playback (see Message capacity on page 78).

• Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.  
• Make sure you plug the battery connector securely into the cordless handset.  
• Make sure you plug the telephone line cord securely and firmly into the  
telephone base and the telephone wall jack.  
• Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least ten hours. For  
optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the telephone  
base or charger when not in use.  
• If the battery is depleted, it may take approximately 30 minutes to charge  
the handset before it shows Low battery. See page 7 for details.  
• Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for  
approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for  
the cordless handset and telephone base to reset.  
• You may need to purchase a new battery. Please refer to

• Try all the suggestions above.  
• Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You may have  
moved out of range.  
• If the previous suggestions do not work, disconnect the telephone base  
from the telephone jack and connect to a different phone. If there is no  
dial tone on that phone either, the problem is in your wiring or telephone  
service. Contact your telephone service provider.  
• Your line cord may be defective. Try installing a new line cord.  
I cannot dial out.  
• 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 telephone base and produce a dial tone.  
This is normal. Wait an extra second before dialing.  
• Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or other  
appliances 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 with less background noise.  
• If other phones in your home are having the same problem, 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 (page 6). The filter  
prevents noise and caller ID problems as a result of DSL interference.  
Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about  
DSL filters.  
• You may be able to improve the performance of your cordless phone  
by installing your new telephone base as far as possible from any other  
existing cordless telephone system that may already be installed.  
• Other electronic products such as HAM radios and other DECT phones can  
cause interference with your cordless phone. Try installing your phone as  
far away as possible from these types of electronic devices.  
• Do not install this phone near a microwave oven or on the same electrical  
outlet. You may experience decreased performance while the microwave  
oven is operating.  
• If you plug your phone in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the  
phone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this does  
not solve the problem, relocate your phone or modem farther apart from  
one another, or use a different surge protector.  
• Move your phone to a higher location. The phone may have better  
reception in a high area.

Appendix  
Important safety information  
Especially about cordless telephones  
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations.  
Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves,  
so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by  
radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should  
not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on  
corded telephones.  
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a  
working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from  
the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power  
is interrupted.  
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 nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.  
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive  
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-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.  
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in an  
industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride 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 Ni-MH batteries.  
recautions 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 recommends to  
physicians that:  
acemaker patients  
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.  
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket,  
when it is turned ON.  
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.  
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons  
using wireless telephones.  
Especially about telephone answering systems  
Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the call is  
being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding  
recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other party  
that you are recording the conversation.

range than before.  
HD audio  
HD audio improves sound quality by expanding and rebuilding frequencies that are lost with  
traditional phone calls. There is no additional telephone service requirement to use HD audio.  
It is designed to work with standard telephone service. Your system will automatically enhance  
all received sound with HD audio.
