About Caller Identification (Caller ID)
This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with
service from your local phone service provider.
Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the
phone, even when you’re on another call.
You may need to change your phone service to use this feature. Contact
your phone service provider if:
• You have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services
(you may need combined service)
• You have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service
• You don’t subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this product with regular Caller ID service, and you can use
this product’s other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or
combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service.
There are fees for Caller ID services, and they 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 companies use
compatible equipment.

TELEPHONE OPERATION
Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and
base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with
the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of
your home or office. For best performance, keep the base antenna fully
upright.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not
ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press P.
Move closer to the base, then press Pto answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might
hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing O, your phone will be
left “off the hook.” To hang up properly, walk back into range, periodically
pressing O.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If you have difficulty operating this phone, try the suggestions below.
For Customer Service, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com or call
1 800 222–3111. Please retain your receipt as your proof of purchase.
If the phone doesn’t work at all, check these items first:
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not controlled
by a wall switch.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base
unit and the modular jack.
• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
• If the handset does not beep when you press P, the battery
might need charging.
• Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.
• If you have dial pulse (rotary) service on your phone line, make
sure the dial mode is set to dial pulse (see INSTALLATION).
• Microwave appliances may cause interference with this phone.
If you experience interference, move away from the microwave
If the above suggestions don’t solve the problem, try re-initializing
the handset and base:
1Disconnect the power to the base.
2Remove the handset battery pack.
3Wait a few minutes.
4Connect the power to the base.
5Insert the handset battery pack.
6Put the handset in the base to re-initialize.
If you hear a two-beep signal when you try to use the handset:
• You might be out of range. Move closer to the base and try again.
• If moving closer to the base doesn’t help, try following the directions
above for re-initializing the handset and base.
If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
• Make sure the handset ringer is on.
• Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly to the base
and the telephone jack.
• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an outlet not
controlled by a wall switch.
• You might be too far from the base; move closer.
• You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line
to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.
22
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:
• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
• You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.
• Press and release Gto change to another of the 30 channels
available. If noise is exceptionally loud, move closer to the base before
changing channels.
• Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can
sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base
to another outlet.
• Using the handset near household appliances (microwaves, computers,
television, stereos, etc.) can sometimes cause interference. Move away
from appliances while using the handset.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating

upper floor.
• If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at
least 15 seconds.
If you hear other calls while using your phone:

You were probably almost out of range. Move closer to the base before
changing channels. Before placing another call, set the handset in the
base for at least 15 seconds.
