Before you begin

About Caller Identification

Caller ID with Call Waiting features in this telephone let you see who’s calling before you answer the phone, even when you’re on another call. These features require services provided by your local telephone company.

Contact your telephone 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 phone with regular

Caller ID service, and you can use its other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and they may not be available in all areas.

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.

See Caller ID Operation, beginning on page 21, for more details about how these features work.

Telephone operating range

This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the

Federal Communications Commission

(FCC). Even so, this handset and base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office. For best performance, keep the base antenna fully upright.

If you receive a call while you are

out of range, the handset might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press

PHONE

.

Move closer to the base, then press

PHONE to answer the call.

If you move out of range during a

phone conversation, you might hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.

If you move out of range without pressing

OFF

, your phone will be left

“off the hook.” To hang up properly, walk back toward the telephone base, periodically pressing

OFF until the call is disconnected.

If you subscribe to Caller ID service provided by your local phone company, information about each caller will be displayed after the first ring.

Entry number:

N = New call

# = Old call

Date of call

Your call log holds up to 50 entries. You can review the call log to find out who has called, return the call without dialing, or copy the caller’s name and number into your phonebook.

Each log entry is numbered (number 1 is always the most recent). When the call log is full, the oldest entry 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.

Handset and base call logs

There are separate Caller ID logs in the handset and the base. Each call log can store up to 50 entries. Each entry can contain a number up to 16 digits, and a name up to

16 letters long. The procedure for viewing, dialing, deleting and transferring call log entries to your phonebook is the same for both the handset and the base.

About names

If the telephone number of the person calling matches a number in your phonebook, the name that appears on screen will match the name as you entered it into your phonebook. (Example: If “Christine Smith” calls, her name will appear as “Chris” if this is how you entered it into your phonebook.)

Charging spare batteries

Optional spare batteries (sold separately) can be kept charged in the base, for quick replacement when handset batteries become depleted. For best results, use AT&T AA rechargeable batteries (sku 26820).

In the event of a power failure, the charged batteries in the base will allow you to make and receive calls from the cordless handset for up to 2.5 hours.

Spare batteries require at least 24 hours to reach full charge.

Slide latch left to open battery drawer.

Insert spare batteries, then close drawer.

Caution: Use only the supplied NiCd battery (80-5469-00-00) or AT&T model

2AA NiMH replacement battery (SKU

26820). Do not use alkaline batteries.

In case of difficulty

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.

"Check battery" or "Warning! Use

Rechargeable

Batteries Only" is displayed on screen

• Non-rechargeable batteries have been installed. They must be removed immediately and replaced with rechargeable NiMH batteries

(see page 7).

• Rechargeable batteries have been installed but may be old or need to be replaced. Remove and re-install the batteries and use normally until fully discharged then let them fully recharge in the handset or base.

• If the above measures do not correct the problem, your batteries should be replaced (see page 7).

Telephone does not work at all

• Make sure batteries are installed and charged correctly (see page 7).

• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the modular jack.

• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

• If these suggestions do not work, unplug the base, remove and reinsert the batteries, then place the handset in the base to re-initialize.

Phone does not ring

• Make sure the ringer is on (see pages 14-15).

• Make sure the telephone line cord and AC adapter are plugged in properly (see page 6).

• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

• Move the handset closer to the base.

• You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.

If you hear noise or interference during a call

• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

• You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.

• Appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or base to another outlet.

• 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 buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds.

• Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local telephone service company.

38

91-5635-40-00.E2600B.RO.qxd 02/13/1950 19:21 Page 39

Appendix

In case of difficulty

If you lose a call while using the handset

• You were probably out of range. Move closer to the base. Before placing another call, set the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds.

Incomplete messages

• If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the system disconnects the call after 4 minutes.

• If the caller pauses for more than 7 seconds, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.

• If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.

Difficulty hearing messages

• Press volume button to increase speaker volume.

System does not answer after correct number of rings

• Make sure that the answering system is on.

• If Toll Saver is activated, the number of rings changes to two when you have new messages waiting (see page 28).

• In some cases, the system may be affected by the ringing system used by the local telephone company.

• If the memory is full or the system is off, the system will answer after

10 rings.

“CL” appears in message window

• You need to reset the answering system clock (see page 25).

System does not respond to remote commands

• Make sure to enter your Remote Access Code correctly (see page 33).

• Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone. When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the phone is not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system.

• The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over before entering the code.

• There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using.

Press dial-pad buttons firmly.

Announcement message is not clear

• When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice, about 9 inches from the base.

• Make sure there is no “background” noise (TV, music, etc.) while you are recording.
