Troubleshooting

If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below.

For customer service, or purchase of 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 (pulse dialing or tone dialing) for the service in your area (see Feature summary on page 7).

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.

20

Troubleshooting

The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call.

• Make sure the ringer is on (see Ringer volume on page 8).

• 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).

Troubleshooting

•

The batteries need to be replaced. Replace four new alkaline AA batteries.

Display screen is blank.

• Make sure alkaline batteries with enough charge are installed.

Operation during a power failure.

•

•

This telephone operates during a power failure if a telephone line cord is installed 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 installed 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, call log history, speed dial memory, and the last number dialed memory. At the same time, all settings in menu options change back to the 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.

Reset the telephone (see Common cure for electronic equipment on page 23).

22

Troubleshooting

•

•

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.

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.

•

•

I subscribe to a nontraditional telephone service that uses my computer to establish connections, and my telephone doesn’t work.

• Make sure your computer is powered on.

•

•

Make sure your Internet connection is working properly.

Make sure that the software is installed and running for your nontraditional telephone service.

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.

3.

4.

5.

Remove the batteries.

Wait a few minutes before connecting the telephone line cord to the telephone base.

Replace the batteries.

Wait for the telephone to synchronize its connection. This may take up to one minute.

•

•

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.

Under certain circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet, or when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, and should not put a charged 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.

Product identifier and REN information

The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This information must be provided to your telephone service provider upon request. For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the product identifier 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.

Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
