Caller ID
47
�aller ID operation
This product supports caller ID services provided
by most local telephone service companies.
Depending on your service subscription, you may
see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and
number that are sent by the telephone company
after the first or second ring. If you also have call
waiting service, this caller ID information shows
when you receive a call while you are on another
call.
Caller ID from the HOME line allows you to see
the name, number, date and time of the incoming
call. However, caller ID from the CELLULAR line
only shows the number of the incoming call and
the Bluetooth name of the paired device; date and
time of the call are not shown.
These services are available only if both you and
the caller are in areas offering caller ID service,
and if both telephone companies use compatible
equipment.
Contact your local telephone company and
cellular 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 any caller ID or call
waiting services.
You can use this product with regular caller ID
service, or without subscribing to either caller ID
or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

Caller ID history information
If you subscribe to caller ID services, provided by
your local telephone company and�or cellular
service provider, the caller ID history storesthe caller ID history stores
information for about the last 50 incoming calls
for both the HOME and CELLULAR lines.
Although the caller ID history records the caller
ID information of both lines, caller ID entries from
the CELLULAR line only provide the incoming
telephone number and the Bluetooth name of
the cellular phone. If the number on the incoming
CELLULAR call matches a number in the
directory, the name is retrieved from the matched
directory entry. However, if the caller's number is
not provided from the CELLULAR line, the screen
only shows INCOMING CALL without showing the
Bluetooth name of the device.
Review the caller ID history to find out who
called, to easily return the call, or to copy the
caller’s name and number into your directory.
The phone 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 is not saved in the caller
ID history.
The caller ID history is stored in the telephone
base, and is shared by all handsets. Changes
made on any one handset is reflected in all.
NOTE: Only one handset can review the caller ID history
at a time. If another handset attempts to enter the
directory or caller ID history, it shows NOT AVAILABLE
AT THIS TIME.

222-3111. In Canada, dial 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.
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.

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.

radio frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander
according to the intended usage of the product. This product has been tested
and found to comply with the FCC criteria. The handset may be safely held
against the ear of the user. The telephone base shall be installed and used

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. Now calls can be taken in the basement, backyard and garage
with exceptional sound quality.

vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and
the construction of your home or office.
Extended range and clarity
This telephone base comes with an antenna which gives much better clarity
and covers a longer range than before.
