Installation
Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base should be placed on a flat surface. 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 lines, you must install a DSL filter between each telephone line cord and telephone wall jack (page 7). 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 and handset displays - remove them before use.
For customer service or product information, visit our website at
www.telephones.att.com
or call
1 (888) 915-2007
. 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 the washing machine or work bench.

Getting started
Planning your system
The SynJ SB67138 package includes one telephone base and one cordless handset (already registered). The included cordless handset has been assigned extension number 1. The system supports a maximum of four external lines, which are provided by your telephone service provider.
You can expand the system by adding a combination of up to 10 additional cordless handsets (AT&T model SynJ SB67108), desksets (AT&T model SynJ
SB67148), and one cordless headset (AT&T model TL7600). The system automatically assigns an extension number to each device you add.
You can use a DECT 6.0 repeater (AT&T model SynJ SB67128) to extend the operating range for cordless handsets to cover areas where the signal is very weak or not available.
1.
2.
3.
NOTES:
If you have two or three telephone lines, you will need one two-line adapter for every two lines. If you have four telephone lines, you will need two two-line adapters.
If your establishment has four telephone lines from one-line telephone jacks, you will need to purchase a telephone line cord (purchased at an electronics store in your area) or equivalent for each two-line adapter.
If you have high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line), you need to have an external or internal DSL splitter for each telephone line installed at your location by your DSL provider.

Use this feature to program this system to recognize one home area code and up to four local area codes. This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID log.
If you dial seven digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter your area code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive a call from within your home area code, the caller ID information only displays the seven digits of the telephone number, and when you dial from the call log, only seven digits are dialed.
If you must dial 10 digits (the area code and telephone number) for local calls, enter 000 for the home area code and enter your area code as a local area code. Then, if you receive a call from within your area code, the screen displays all 10 digits of the telephone number, and when you dial from the call log, all 10 digits are dialed.
If you have more than one area code for your region, enter those area codes as local area codes.

Auto attendant setup (for answering system)
You can set up the auto attendant to answer outside calls, provide callers with a company directory, automatically forward calls to a specified extension, and enable callers to record voice messages when there is no answer. You can use a default outgoing announcement or record up to five announcements of your own. For details on how to use the auto attendant feature, see the
Answering
system section on pages 75-77 of this user’s manual.
Record announcement (auto attendant)
Use this feature to record up to five new announcements so that you can have different announcements for different lines, or different announcements for daytime and after hours. You can easily switch among the recorded announcements. Each announcement can be up to two minutes.
The auto attendant announcement should contain instructions for the caller.
Following are example scripts.
Default announcement: “Hello, this is an automated attendant. Please enter
your parties’ extension, followed by the pound key. If you are using a rotary telephone, please stay on the line. For a company directory, dial star twice.”
If you have many extensions, record a separate extension list (page 30) and reference it in your auto attendant announcement, as shown in
Sample
announcement 1. If you have only a few extensions, you can list them in the auto attendant announcement, as shown in
Sample announcement 2 without the separate extension list.
Sample announcement 1: “Hello, you have reached XYZ Corp. Please
enter your parties’ extension, followed by the pound key. To hear a list of extensions, dial star twice.”
Sample announcement 2: “Hello, you have reached XYZ Corp. For sales,
press 1 pound; for service, press 2 pound; for shipping, press 3 pound; or press star for the receptionist.”

This telephone supports caller ID services that most telephone service providers offer. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and number from the telephone service provider after the first or second ring. Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
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.

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, and 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 telephone service providers and might not be available in all areas.
It might be necessary to change 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.
1.
2.
NOTES:
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, or you can use this telephone’s other features without subscribing to caller ID or caller ID combined with call waiting service.
The format of telephone numbers displayed depends on the home and local area codes you set
(See Area codes on page 21 for explanations and instructions on area code settings).

Caller ID
Caller ID Information
How the caller ID information (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 telephone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls.
Each extension has independent caller ID information. Deleting the caller ID information on any one extension does not affect the caller ID information on other extensions.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID information.
Review the caller ID information to determine who called, to easily return the call, or to copy the caller’s name and number into your directory.
*:Base
3 Missed calls

NEW CALL indicator turns on and XX Missed call(s) appears if there are new call log entries (including new or missed calls).
The time and date of the call and the caller’s name and telephone number are included in the display.
Caller ID information appears on the screen when the telephone rings, until the caller hangs up, the call has been answered at another extension, or 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 Set date and time on page 22).

NOTES:
1. The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
2. Each entry can store up to 32 digits for the telephone number and 16 characters for the name. If the telephone number has more than 16 digits but less than or equal to 24 digits, only the last
17 digits appear. If the telephone number has more than 24 digits, only the 8th to 24th digits
(17 digits) appear. In order to view the entire number, you must first save the entry to the directory
(see page 70). For instructions on viewing the digits, see page 68. If the telephone number has more than 32 digits, it is not saved or shown in the call log.

Caller ID
Caller ID operation
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 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number).
The telephone system ignores the area code when searching for a match and displays the name of the first corresponding number from the directory.
Missed (new) calls indicator
When the telephone base is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed call(s).
All new or missed entries are counted as missed calls.
Each time you review a call log entry with the icon new, the number of missed calls decreases by one. When all the entries in the caller ID information become old (have been reviewed), the system removes the missed calls alert from the display, and the NEW CALL indicator turns off.

Reasons for missing caller ID information
Reasons for missing caller ID information
There are also occasions when other information or no information shows for various reasons:
On-screen message
Private caller
Unknown caller
Reason
The caller prefers not to show the telephone number and name.
Your telephone service provider cannot determine the caller’s name and telephone number. Calls from other countries may also generate this message.

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

COVM COVM
• If you turn on the COVM feature (See COVM on page 53 for more information) and the COVM icon displays on the base screen, your telephone service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.
• To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press
(Messages) on the telephone base (page 78).
Some 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 the answering system, turn off the answering system. To use the answering system rather than the voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate the voicemail service. Use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail, 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.
72
Answering system
Setting your system to automatically answer calls
Use this feature to separately set each of the four lines to automatically answer incoming calls in three different ways.
General mailbox (gen MB only):
The called line rings on every extension for each incoming call. If there is no answer, the caller is prompted to leave a message in the general mailbox, which a person at any handset can review. The general mailbox stores incoming messages, memos, and two-way conversations (see
Answering
system operation on pages 78-82 for more information).
Auto attendant (auto att):
The called line for each incoming call flashes on every extension, but does not ring. Instead, the auto attendant answers. The caller can specify an extension or leave a general mailbox message. When the auto attendant directs a call to an extension but it is not answered, the auto attendant prompts the caller to leave a message for that extension or try another extension.
Each auto attendant can answer only one call at a time. You might want to turn on additional auto attendants in your system so that even when a call on one line is being answered, a second auto attendant can answer another ringing line. You can designate up to four auto attendants in your system
(see Auto attendant operation on pages 75-77 for more information.)
Announce only (annc only):
The called line for each incoming call flashes and rings on every extension.
After the number of rings you programmed (see Number of rings on page 32), the answering system plays an announcement only and then the call is dropped automatically. The caller is not allowed to specify an extension or leave a message in the general mailbox. You can use a default outgoing announcement or record up to five announcements of your own.
No answer:
You can disable automatic answering on any of the telephone lines.
An example of a 2-line answering system setup
If you have two phone lines and two or more extensions and you wish to use the auto attendant, then configure both lines to use the auto attendant.
Then, if a call comes in while one line is busy, it will still be answered by the auto attendant.
Line 1: Auto attendant (2 rings)
Line 2: Auto attendant (2 rings)

Setting your system to automatically answer calls
An example of a 4-line answering system setup
If you have four phone lines and many extensions, you can set up the auto attendant to answer up to three simultaneous calls. You can set up the fourth line to ring as a private direct line to a single extension by excluding all others in the Ring group (page 17).
Line 1: Auto attendant (2 rings)
Line 2: Auto attendant (2 rings)
Line 3: Auto attendant (2 rings)
Line 4: General mailbox (4 rings, all but one extension excluded)

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.
The announcements of auto attendant, general mailbox and announce only answer mode all require system memory to record, so we suggest recording brief announcements in order to leave more space for messages.
The maximum recording time of all handsets and base is 180 minutes.
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
Individual messages can be up to three minutes. Messages remain available for review until you delete them.
If the system memory is full, the screen displays Message full, and you cannot record new messages until old ones have been deleted. Check remaining system space frequently to maintain availability of space for incoming messages.
NOTE: You cannot record an announcement when the telephone system is out of space.
You will hear a two-beep alert tone and voice prompt “Memory is full.” Please refer to
Remaining space on page 38.

L 1-L 4 on a cordless handset to talk to the caller on that line. You can also allow the auto attendant to answer the incoming call while you make a new call on another line.
When a caller enters a correct extension number, the auto attendant transfers the call to that extension and announces to the caller, “Please
wait.” If the called extension does not answer, the caller is prompted to try another extension or leave a message in a private mailbox for the last attempted extension. The auto attendant attempts to transfer the call up to five times.
75
Answering system
Auto attendant operation
If the caller enters an extension number plus the # (pound key) after
hearing the announcement, the auto attendant transfers the call to the specified extension. If the call is not picked up after five rings, the caller hears “No one is available to answer the call. To leave a message, press 1.
To call another extension, press 2. To call the operator, press star,” and waits five seconds for another entry from the caller. If the caller still hasn’t entered an extension number after hearing this message three times, the auto attendant forwards the call to the general mailbox to leave a message.
If the caller enters an invalid extension number, the auto attendant announces, “Please wait. This number is not assigned. To leave a message,
press 1. To call another extension, press 2. To call the operator, press star.”
If the caller enters the (star key) plus the # (pound key), the auto attendant announces ”Calling the operator,” and then transfers the call to the telephone base.
If the caller enters the remote access code while hearing the
announcement, the auto attendant stops playing the announcement and the caller can remotely access the general mailbox (See
Remote access on page 83 for information).
If the caller does not enter any number after hearing the announcement,
the auto attendant announces three times “Hello, this is auto attendant.
Please enter your party’s extension, followed by pound (#). If you are using a rotary telephone, please stay on the line. For a company directory, dial star
twice.” Then, the auto attendant transfers the call to the general mailbox for the caller to leave a message.

First try all the suggestions mentioned above.
Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The corded handset might take a second or two to connect 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 might cause the telephone to not dial out properly. If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try muting the corded handset before dialing, or dialing from another room by a cordless handset with less background noise.
If the other telephones in your building are having the same problem, contact your telephone service provider.
