Call Forward and Call Transfer
Call Forward and Call Transfer
An external call can be forwarded or transferred from
one handset to the other. The difference between for-
ward and transfer depends on if the sending handset
needs to talk with the receiving handset before the
external call is sent to the other handset.
Call Forward
• The first handset (HS1) can forward an external call
to the other handset (HS2) by pressing and holding
the INTERCOM key. HS1 will display CALL FORWARD-
ED.
• To answer the call, HS2 can press PHONE, SPEAKER
or any dial pad keys.
NOTE:
If the other HS2 does not respond within 30 seconds, the
external call will be returned to HS1 and its display will show CALL BACK. If
the returned call is not answered within 30 seconds, the external call will end
automatically.
Call Transfer
• HS1 can forward an external call to HS2, by pressing
the INTERCOM key.
NOTE:
The external call is put on hold automatically.
• HS2 will ring, showing an intercom call.
• Press PHONE, SPEAKER or any dial pad key on HS2
to answer the intercom call.
• HS1 and HS2 can discuss the external call.
• Press OFF on HS1 to transfer the call. HS2 is now on
the external call. CALL TRANSFERRED will display
on HS1.
NOTE:
If there is no answer on HS2 within approximately two minutes,
HS1 will automatically reconnect to the external call.

Caller ID Logs
How Caller ID works
If you subscribe to Caller ID service provided by your
local phone company, information about each caller will
be displayed after the first ring.
Information about the last 50 incoming calls is stored in
your call log. You can review the call log to find out
who has called, return the call without dialing, or copy
the caller’s name and number into your phone book.
When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to
make room for new incoming call information.
If you answer a call before the information appears on
the screen, it will not be saved in your call log.
NOTE
: Only one handset can review the call at a time. If the other
handset attempts to enter the call log, will display NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS
TIME.
About names
Names of callers will be displayed only if this information
is provided by your local telephone company.
If the telephone number of the person calling matches a
number in your phone book, the name that appears on
screen will match the name as you entered it into your
phone book.
(Example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear
as “Chris” if this is how you entered it into your phone
book.)

In case of difficulty
If you have difficulty with your phone, please try the suggestions below. For Customer
Service, visit our web site at www.telephones.att.com, or call 1-800-222–3111.
Telephone does
not work at all
• Make sure battery is installed and charged correctly (see page 7).
• 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.
• If you have dial-pulse telephone service, make sure the dial mode is
set to Pulse (see page 15).
• If these suggestions do not work, unplug the base, remove and re-
insert the battery, then place the handset in the base to re-initialize.
Phone does not
ring
• Make sure the ringer is on (see page 14).
• Make sure the telephone line cord and AC adapter are plugged in
properly (see page 6).
• Move the handset closer to the base.
• You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to
allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.
If you hear
noise or
interference
during a call
• You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.
• Appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can cause
interference. Try moving the appliance or base to another outlet.
• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating
range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an
upper floor.
• If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at
least 15 seconds.
• Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a corded tele-
phone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in your
wiring or local service. Call your local telephone service company.

Incomplete
messages
• If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the
system disconnects the call after 4 minutes.
• If the caller pauses for more than 7 seconds, the system stops
recording and disconnects the call.
• If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system
stops recording and disconnects the call.
Difficulty hear-
ing messages • Press ^on the base to increase speaker volume.
System does
not answer
after correct
number of rings
• Make sure that the answering system is on.
• If Toll Saver is activated, the number of rings changes to 2 when you
have new messages waiting (see page 26).
• In some cases, the system may be affected by the ringing system
used by the local telephone company.
• If the memory is full or the system is off, the system will answer after
10 rings.
“CL” flashes in
message window
• You need to reset the answering system clock (see page 23).
Announcement
message is not
clear
• When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a
normal tone of voice, about 9 inches from the base.
• Make sure there is no background noise (TV, music, etc.) while you
are recording.
System does
not respond
to remote
commands
• Make sure to enter your Remote Access Code correctly (see page 30).
• Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone. When you dial a
number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the phone is not a
touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system.
• The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code
while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announce-
ment is over before entering the code.
• There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using.
Press dial-pad buttons firmly.
