Caller ID
About Caller ID
This product supports caller ID services that most local telephone service provider offers. Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number from the telephone company after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls.
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 telephone, while on another call.
There are fees associated with caller ID services. In addition, this service might be called by different names (such as caller ID with visual call waiting) by different local telephone service provider and might not be available in all areas.
It might 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 might need to combine these services)
• You only have caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
• You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone service provider use compatible equipment. The time and date are from the telephone service provider along with the call information.
Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
NOTES:
1. 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.
2. The format of telephone numbers displayed depends on the home and local area codes you set
(See the Area codes section on page X of the manual for explanations and setting instructions of area codes).
57
How the caller ID history (call log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information for 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 shared by the telephone base and all system handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.
Review the caller ID history to determine who called, to easily return the call, or to copy the caller’s name and number into your directory.
NEW CALL indicator lights and XX missed call(s) appears if there are new call log entries (including missed and unreviewed calls).
The time and date of the call and the caller’s name and phone number are included in the display.
*:Base

Caller ID information appears on the screen as the phone rings, or until the caller hangs up, or until the call has been answered at another extension, or until the call ends.
If you subscribe to caller ID service, this phone automatically resets the time and date each time new call information is received. You can also set the time and date yourself (see Time adjustment on page X).

Memory match
If the incoming telephone number is an exact match with 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 you see on your caller ID is in the format from the telephone service provider. It usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If the telephone number of the caller is not an exact match with a number in your directory, the name appears from the telephone service provider records. For example, if the phone company includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name appears as delivered by the phone company.

Answering system
About the answering system
Your telephone has a digital answering system, including an auto attendant and voicemail features, to select a desired answering method for incoming calls. You can have a customized answering system setup for each phone line.
You can manage all voicemail messages of phone line through the general mailbox feature on the telephone base.
Answering system capacity
You can record up to five new announcements to have different announcements for each line. Each announcement can be up to two minutes.
Auto attendant and voicemail announcements both require system memory to record, so we suggest recording brief announcements in order to leave more space for messages.
The answering system can record up to 255 messages, depending on the length of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes.
Messages remain available for review until you delete them.
If the system memory is full, you cannot record new messages until old ones have been deleted.
Check Remaining space (see page X) frequently to keep maintain availability of space for incoming messages.
Turn the answering system on or off at the telephone base
• Turn on the answering system
You can turn the answering system on as either an auto attendant feature mode or voicemail mode.
Please refer to Turn on the auto attendant on page X.
Please refer to Turn on the mailbox on page X.
• Turn off the answering system
You can turn the answering system off, but if you do so, the answering system does not answer calls and record incoming messages.

Answering system
About the auto attendant
If you want your telephone base to automatically answer incoming calls for your system, to announce the directory, and to enable your callers to record central system messages, you need to customize Auto attendant setup (see page X).
If the auto attendant is active and is answering or directing a call or playing or recording an announcement or message, the LINE (1-4) light flashes sequentially (page X). To interrupt the auto attendant, press the flashing
LINE (1-4) key to talk to the caller on that line, or press any other LINE (1-
4) key to disconnect this call and make a new call on another line.
An auto attendant assigned to a phone line can only answer one call at a time, so you might want to have more than one auto attendant in your system so that even when a call on one line is being answered, a second auto attendant telephone can answer another ringing line. You can designate up to 4 auto attendants in your system.
NOTES:
1. Only outside calls are answered by an auto attendant.
2. The auto attendant phone does not answer calls when the phone is being used for setup, message review, call history review, or a phone call.

An auto attendant is busy when someone at that extension is doing any of the following:
•
•
•
•
•
• programming the phone accessing messages on an intercom call dialing from the directory or call history using any of the lines to make or answer a call when the answer system is recording a message at that extension
You can choose a particular phone line to always be the primary auto attendant by setting that line to have the shortest auto attendant pickup delay (number of rings) and setting the pickup delays of other auto attendants for you to choose. If the auto attendant pickup delays are the same, incoming calls might be distributed randomly to the auto attendants.
Auto attendant sequence for callers
When you set this telephone base to be an auto attendant, it automatically picks up a ringing line after the number of rings you programmed (see Number of rings on pageX), and plays the appropriate auto attendant announcement.

AuAt
When a caller enters a correct extension number after hearing the announcement, the auto attendant transfers the call to that extension and announces to the caller, “ Calling that extension. Please wait.
”
The auto attendant continues to monitor the call after it is transferred. If the extension is set to use mailbox, the mailbox answers and can record an incoming extension message. If neither the requested extension nor its mailbox picks up within XX seconds, the auto attendant announces, “ That extension is not answering. Enter a new extension number, or , to leave a central message in the general mailbox, please dial nine .” The auto attendant attempts to transfer the call up to five times. If the call is not picked up by any extension during those attempts, the call is dropped.
NOTES:
1. If someone at the requested extension picks up the call and subsequently places the call on hold

Auto attendant operation again, that extension must pick up the call again within X minutes or the call is dropped. The XX minutes restarts each time and same call is placed on hold.
2. If the memory is full or the auto attendant is turned off on the extension, no extension messages can be recorded in the general mailbox.
If the caller presses 0 after hearing the message , the auto-attendant directory plays. The caller can then decide whether to enter an extension number or not, and the auto attendant responds as described above.
If the caller does not enter an extension number after hearing the announcement , the auto attendant waits about X seconds, then transfers the call to extension X. If the call is not picked up after X seconds, the auto attendant answers the call again, and plays “That extension is not answering.
Enter a new extension number, or , to leave a central message in the general mailbox, please dial nine.” and wait X seconds for the entry. If the caller still hasn’t extered an extension number after hearing this message five times, the auto attendant announces, “That extension is not answering. Thank you” and drops the call.
If the caller enters an invalid extension number , the auto attendant announces, “ The system does not recognize that extension. Please check it, and enter it again.

DECT 6.0 digital technology
The AT&T DECT 6.0 products offer unsurpassed range performance and sound clarity. This is achieved through a unique antenna design and advances in noise-filtering technology. An independent laboratory has confirmed that AT&T DECT 6.0 products perform up to 45% better in range competitions. Now calls can be taken in the basement, backyard and garage with exceptional sound quality.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.
Redefining long range coverage and clarity
This telephone base comes with two antennas which give much better clarity and cover a longer range than before.
