•

My caller ID isn’t working.

•

•

Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from your telephone service provider for this feature to work on your phone.

The caller may not be calling from an area which supports caller ID.

Both your and your caller’s telephone service providers must use caller ID compatible equipment.

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 3). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems resulting from DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

System does not receive caller ID when on a call.

• Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features from your telephone service provider. Caller ID features works only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment.

•

•

System does not answer after the correct number of rings.

• Make sure that the answering system is on. ANS ON should show on the handset and the /ANSWER ON light on the telephone base should be on.

• If toll saver is activated, the number of rings changes to two when you have new messages stored (page 24).

If the memory is full or the system is off, the system will answer after 10 rings.

In some cases, the answering system is affected by the ringing system used by your telephone service provider.

• If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering system answers before your voicemail (page 24). To determine how many rings activate your voicemail, contact your telephone service provider.

• If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems.

I’ve set my LCD language to Spanish or French and I don’t know how to change it back to English.

• Press MENU/SELECT in idle mode, then enter 364#. You hear a confirmation tone.

I cannot retrieve voicemail messages.

• Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail indicator.

They are independent features and each alerts you to new messages differently

(page 26). If you subscribe to voicemail service from your telephone service provider, contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to access your voicemail.

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.

Precautions 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:

Pacemaker 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.

•

•

Information relative à la sécurité

• Veuillez lire et comprendre toutes les instructions de ce guide d’utilisation. Relectez toutes les inscriptions apparaissant sur le produit.

Évitez d’utiliser le téléphone pendant un orage. Il pourrait y avoir un faible risque d’électrocution.

N’utilisez pas un téléphone près d’une fuite de gaz. Dans certaines circonstances, une flammèche pourrait se produire lorsque l’adaptateur est branché à une prise de courant, ou lorsque le combiné est déposé sur son chargeur. Ceci est un événement fréquent associé avec la fermeture d’un circuit électrique. L’utilisateur ne devrait pas brancher un téléphone dans une prise de courant, et ne devrait pas déposer un combiné chargé dans le chargeur, si le téléphone se trouve dans un environnement comportant une concentration de gaz inflammables ou ignifuges, à moins de se trouver dans un endroit où la ventilation est adéquate. Une flammèche dans de tels environnements pourrait provoquer une explosion. De tels environnements peuvent comprendre : les endroits où de l’oxygène à des fins médicales est utilisé sans ventilation adéquate; des endroits où se trouvent des gaz industriels

(dissolvants de nettoyage, des vapeurs de gazoline, etc.), une fuite de gaz naturel, etc.

• N’utilisez pas ce produit près de l’eau ou lorsque vous êtes mouillés. Par exemple, ne l’utilisez pas dans des sous-sols humides ou sous la douche, ou près d’une piscine, d’un bain, d’un évier de cuisine, ou d’une cuve de lavage. N’utilisez pas de liquides, ou de vaporisateurs aérosol de nettoyage. Si le produit entre en contact avec du liquide, débranchez immédiatement le fil téléphonique ou le cordon d’alimentation. Ne rebranchez pas le produit avant qu’il soit complètement sec.

• Installez cet appareil dans un endroit protégé où personne ne peut trébucher sur les cordons d’alimentation ou la ligne téléphonique. Protégez les câbles contre les dommages ou l’abrasion.

Spécifiquement en rapport avec les téléphones sans fil

• Confidentialité : Les mêmes caractéristiques qui rendent les téléphones sans fil si pratiques créent également des restrictions. Les appels téléphoniques sont transmis entre le socle du téléphone et le combiné par le biais d’ondes radio, et il se peut que vos conversations téléphoniques soient interceptées par d’autres équipements de réception d’ondes radio au sein de la portée du téléphone sans fil. Pour cette raison, vous ne devez pas considérer les conversations sur un téléphone sans fil comme étant aussi confidentielles que celles d’un téléphone à cordon.

• Alimentation électrique : La base de ce téléphone sans fil doit être branchée à une prise de courant électrique fonctionnelle. La prise électrique ne doit pas être contrôlée par un interrupteur mural. Les appels ne peuvent pas être effectués à partir du combiné si la base n’est pas branchée, si elle est hors fonction ou si le courant électrique est coupé.

• Interférences potentielles aux téléviseurs : Certains téléphones sans fil fonctionnent sur des fréquences pouvant causer des interférences aux téléviseurs et magnétoscopes. Pour réduire ou prévenir de tels parasites, ne pas déposer la base du téléphone sans fil à proximité d’un téléviseur ou magnétoscope, ni directement sur celui-ci. Si votre téléviseur affiche des interférences, éloignez le téléphone sans fil de celui-ci afin de réduire les parasites.

• Piles rechargeables : Ce produit comporte des piles rechargeables à l’hydrure métallique de nickel. Usez de prudence lorsque vous manipulez de telles piles et veillez à ne pas les court-circuiter avec des matériaux conducteurs, tels que des bagues, bracelets et clés. La pile ou le conducteur peut surchauffer et vous brûler. Respectez la polarité adéquate entre les piles et le chargeur de piles.

• Piles rechargeables à l’hydrure métallique de nickel : Jetez ces piles de manière sécuritaire.

N’incinérez pas et ne peercez pas les piles. Comme pour les autres piles du même type, si elles sont brûlées ou percées, des matières corrosives peuvent s’en échapper, ce qui risque de causer des brûlures ou autres blessures corporelles.

Le sceau de l’organisme de recyclage RBRC MC sur les piles à l’hydrure métallique de nickel signifie que le fabricant de cet appareil participe volontairement au programme industriel visant à reprendre et recycler ce type de piles lorsqu’elles ne servent plus, au sein du territoire des États-Unis et du Canada. Vous devez apporter ces piles chez un détaillant participant ou le centre de recyclage le plus près de chez vous. Ou vous pouvez composer le 1-800-8-BATTERY afin de connaître les endroits qui acceptent les piles à l’hydrure métallique de nickel mortes.

Mesures préventives pour les utilisateurs de stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme

Stimulateurs cardiaques (ne s’applique qu’aux téléphones sans fil numériques) :

L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins :

Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques

Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil à une distance d’au moins six pouces du stimulateur cardiaque.

Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en fonction.

Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans fil en l’appuyant sur l’oreille qui se trouve dans la direction opposée au stimulateur cardiaque.

L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causé par les gens qui utilisent un téléphone sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.

Spécifiquement en rapport avec les répondeurs téléphoniques

Enregistrement deux voies : Cet appareil n’émet pas de bips d’avertissement qui permettent de prévenir l’autre partie que vous enregistrez la conversation. Pour assurer votre conformité aux règlements fédéraux ou provinciaux en rapport avec les enregistrements des conversations téléphoniques, vous devriez informer l’autre partie lorsque vous activez l’enregistrement.

You must pay for the cost of repair and return shipping costs for the repair of products that are not covered by this limited warranty.

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 against similarly equipped phones of the leading competition. 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 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 an antenna which gives much better clarity and covers a longer 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.

Compatible with

Hearing Aid T-Coil

Telephones identified with this logo have reduced noise and interference when used with most T-coil equipped hearing aids and cochlear implants. The
