Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not
controlled by a wall switch. For optimum range and better reception, place
the telephone base in a central and open location.
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 pages 6-7). The filter
prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please
contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
Your product may be shipped with protective stickers covering the handset
and telephone base displays - remove them before use.
For customer service or product information, visit our website at
www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial
1 (866) 288-4268.
Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:
Communication devices such as television sets, VCRs, or other
cordless telephones.
Excessive heat sources.
Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave
ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.
Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
Excessive moisture.
Extremely low temperature.
Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of a washing machine
or workbench.

About caller ID
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, along with the call information,
are from the telephone service provider.
Caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. Callers
may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. You can only
view a maximum of 15 digits of every caller ID log entry. To view caller ID log
entries with numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you must save the entry to
the directory (see page 56).
NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s
other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting
service.

Caller ID history
How the caller ID history (call log) works
If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your telephone service
provider, information about each caller will appear after the first or second
ring. If you answer a call before the caller information appears on the
screen, it is not saved in the call log.
The call log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry may have up to 24 digits
for the phone number and 15 characters for the name.
You can review, redial, and copy an entry into the directory.
Entries appear in reverse chronological order.
When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new
incoming call information.
L1)X Missed and/or L2)X Missed displays when there are new call log
entries that have not been reviewed.
Call log empty shows when there are no records in the call log.
Only one handset or the telephone base can review the call log at a
time. If a handset tries to enter the call log while another handset or the
telephone base is already in it, its screen shows Not available at this
time.
NOTE: If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in
the call log.
Missed (new) call indicator
When there are calls that have not been reviewed in the
call log, the corresponding line message, L1)X Missed or
L2)X Missed, shows on the handset and the telephone base.
Each time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by
NEW on the screen), the number of missed calls decreases
by one.
If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one,
but still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you
can press and hold OFF/CANCEL on the handset for
four seconds when the handset is idle, or press and hold CANCEL on the
telephone base for four seconds when the telephone base is idle. You will
hear a confirmation tone. All the entries in the caller ID history become old
(reviewed already), and the missed calls message goes away.

Caller ID operation
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, when Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is
how you entered it into your directory.
NOTE: The number shown in the call log is in the format sent by the telephone service
provider. The telephone service provider usually delivers 10-digit phone numbers (area
code plus phone number). If the last 7-digit of an incoming telephone number does not
match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone
service provider.

About the answering system
Answering system and voicemail indicators
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left on your
telephone service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s
built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate.
Each alerts you to new messages differently.
If the icon and a line number appear on the handset and telephone
base, your telephone service provider is indicating that it has new
voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, dial an access number
provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security code
or PIN.
If the /MAIL BOX 1 or /MAIL BOX 2 button on the telephone base
flashes, your digital answering system has new messages for you. To listen
to the messages, press the flashing mailbox button.
Some telephone service providers bundle or combine multiple services like
voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail.
To check what services you have and how to access them, contact your
telephone service provider.
To use your voicemail service rather than the answering system, turn off the
answering system. To use the answering system rather than your voicemail
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail
service.
Using the answering system and voicemail together
You can also use the telephone answering system and voicemail together by
setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers,
as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact
your telephone service provider. Then, if you are on a call, or if the answering
system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second
caller can leave a voicemail message.
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than
your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers
after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some
voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds
instead of rings; in this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the
appropriate setting.

call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
My telephone doesn’t work at all.
Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in.
Make sure you plug the battery connector securely into the cordless handset.
Make sure you plug the telephone line cord securely and firmly into the
telephone base and the telephone wall jack.
Charge the battery in the cordless handset for at least 16 hours. For
optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the telephone
base or charger when not in use.
If the battery is depleted, it may take approximately 30 minutes to charge
the handset before it shows Low battery. See page 8 for details.
Reset the telephone base. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for
approximately 15 seconds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for
the cordless handset and telephone base to reset.
You may need to purchase a new battery. Please refer to
Battery installation and charging in this user’s manual on pages 8-9.
The display shows L1>NO LINE or L2>NO LINE. I cannot get a dial tone.
Try all the suggestions mentioned above.
If the previous suggestions do not work, disconnect the telephone line
cord from your telephone and connect the telephone line cord to another
telephone.
If there is no dial tone on that other telephone either, your telephone
line cord may be defective. Install a new telephone line cord.
If changing the telephone line cord does not help, the wall jack (or the
wiring to this wall jack) may be defective. Try using a different wall jack
in your home to connect your TL88102/TL88202 telephone, or contact
your telephone service provider (charges may apply).
I cannot dial out.
Try all the suggestions mentioned above.
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.
Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio or other
appliances may cause the phone to not dial out properly. If you cannot
eliminate the background noise, first try muting the cordless handset
before dialing, or dialing from another room with less background noise.

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. You
may call 1-800-8-BATTERY® for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.
RBRC® and 1-800-8-BATTERY® are registered trademarks of the Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation.
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.

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 RBRCMD 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-BATTERYMD afin
de connaître les endroits qui acceptent les piles à l’hydrure métallique de nickel
mortes.

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.
