This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service
providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls.
The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring.
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 call, even while on another call.
It may 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 may need to combine these services).
You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting
service.
You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may
not be available in all areas.
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. The
time and date are sent by the telephone service provider
along with the call information.
The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The
callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.
NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s
other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.
About home area code
See Home area code on page 14 to determine if you should enter your area
code. Entering the area code changes how numbers are displayed in the caller
ID history and how to return a call from the caller ID history (see
To view the dialing options on page 37).

Caller ID
How caller ID history (call log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the
telephone base. Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the telephone number
and 15 characters for the name. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order.
The telephone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for
new calls. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it
does not show in the caller ID history.
NOTE: The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. The callers
might intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers (see Reasons for missing caller
ID information on page 35).
Memory match
If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven
digits of 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 shown by your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone service
provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code
plus telephone number). If the telephone number of the caller does not match a number in your
directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider. For example, if the
telephone service provider includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name
appears as delivered by the telephone service provider.

Missed (new) calls indicator
When you have calls that have not been reviewed, the
handset idle screen shows XX MISSED CALLS.
All entries that have not been reviewed are counted as missed
(new) calls. Each time you review a caller ID history entry marked
NEW, the number of missed (new) calls decreases by one.
If you do not want to review the missed (new) calls one by one,
but still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you can
press and hold OFF/CLEAR for four seconds when the handset
is idle. All the entries in the caller ID history are considered old
(reviewed), and the missed calls message goes away.
Reasons for missing caller ID information
There are occasions when other information or no information shows for
various reasons:
Screen message Reason
PRIVATE NAME The caller prefers not to show the name.
PRIVATE NUMBER The caller prefers not to show the telephone number.
PRIVATE CALLER The caller prefers not to show the name and telephone number.
UNKNOWN NAME Your telephone service provider cannot determine the
caller’s name.
UNKNOWN NUMBER Your telephone service provider cannot determine the caller’s
telephone number.
UNKNOWN CALLER Your telephone service provider cannot determine the caller’s
name and telephone number. Calls from other countries may
also generate this message.

Troubleshooting
I cannot dial out.
First try all the suggestions in the item I cannot get a dial tone on page 44.
Make sure you have a dial tone before dialing. The cordless handset may
take a second or two to find the telephone base and produce a dial tone.
This is normal. 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 Dial mode on page 14).
Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or other
appliances may cause the telephone to not dial out properly. If you cannot
eliminate background noise, first try muting the cordless handset before
dialing, or dialing from another room in your home with less background noise.
If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the
problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone
service provider (charges may apply).
My cordless handset isn’t performing normally.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug
the power adapter into a different, working electrical outlet not controlled
by a wall switch.
Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. You might have
moved out of range.
Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds
then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset and
telephone base to reset.
Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone.

Troubleshooting
I get noise, static, or weak signals even when I’m near the telephone base.
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 base
and charger installation on page 4). The filter prevents noise and caller
ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service
provider for more information about DSL filters.
Other electronic products, such as computers, wireless routers, microwave
ovens and other cordless telephones can interfere with the performance of
your cordless telephone. You may be able to improve the performance of
your telephone by installing the telephone base as far away as possible from
other electronic devices.
Do not install this telephone near a microwave oven or on the same
electrical outlet. You may experience decreased performance while the
microwave oven is operating.
If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug
the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this
doesn’t solve the problem, relocate your telephone or modem farther apart
from one another, or use a different surge protector.
Move your telephone to a higher location. The telephone will likely have
better reception when installed in a high area.
If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem, the
problem is in your wiring or telephone service. Contact your telephone
service provider (charges may apply).
I experience poor sound quality when using the speakerphone.
For increased sound quality while using the speakerphone, place the handset
on a flat surface with the dial pad facing up.
When using a speakerphone, controlling background noise in your
environment is essential. While you are listening to your party, press
MUTE/DELETE to temporarily turn your microphone off. When it is your turn
to speak, remember to press MUTE/DELETE again to turn the microphone on.

Excessive background noise will cause a speakerphone to fade in and out.
Try controlling the background noise by turning off any audio devices near
the speakerphone. Also, try to avoid interrupting the person at the other end
of the conversation while the person is speaking. If background noise cannot
be controlled, you should terminate speakerphone operation and return to
normal handset mode.
I hear other calls while using my telephone.
Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack, and plug in
a different telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably
in your wiring or telephone service. Call your telephone service provider
(charges may apply).
My calls cut in and out while I’m using my cordless handset.
Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone.
Try installing your telephone as far away as possible from electronic devices
such as wireless routers, or other cordless telephones.
Move the handset closer to the base. The operating range may vary with
environmental conditions and time of use. There may be places within your
environment that a cordless telephone will not work well. If the problem
only occurs in certain areas of your environment, you can conclude that
there is nothing wrong with the telephone.
Do not install this telephone near a microwave oven or on the same
electrical outlet. You may experience decreased performance while the
microwave oven is operating.
If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or surge protector, plug

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must
be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment.
Place the handset down gently.
Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever
need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in the
rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a
sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances
during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for
many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or
mild soap.
Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or
standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the
telephone out by the unplugged cords.

Appendix
Important safety information
This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions that may appear
in this user’s manual. Always follow basic safety precautions when using this product to reduce the
risk of injury, fire, or electric shock.
Safety information
Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on the product.
Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There might be a slight chance of electric
shock from lightning.
Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak. If you suspect a gas leak, report it
immediately, but use a telephone away from the area where gas is leaking. If this product is a
cordless model, make sure the base is also away from the area.
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. Do not use
liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquids, unplug any
line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power
cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
If this product does not operate normally, read Troubleshooting on page 44 in this user’s
manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to Limited
warranty on page 58. Do not open this product except as may be directed in your user’s
manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to hazardous
voltages or other risks.
Replace batteries only as described in Battery installation and charging on page 5 in your

visit our website at www.telephones.att.com, or call 1 (866) 288-4268.
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.

Appendix
Important safety information
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.
