Installation
You must install and charge
the battery before using the
telephone.
STOP!
See pages 6-7
for easy instructions.
Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not
controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface
or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 8). For optimum range and better
reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line DSL) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see the following page). 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 a protective sticker covering the handset or
telephone base display - remove it before use.

area code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive a call
from within your home area code, the caller ID history only displays the seven
digits of the telephone number.
This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID log. If you
dial 10 digits to make a local phone call, do not use this home area code
feature. If you do, you cannot place calls from your caller ID log as they have
only seven digits.

About caller ID
This product supports caller ID services that most telephone service providers
provide. Depending on your service subscription, you might see the caller’s
number, or the caller’s name and number from the telephone service provider
after the first or second ring. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number,
date and time of calls.
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 telephone, even while
on another call.
It might be necessary to change your telephone service to use

this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:
888-722-7702
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate
NEW
services (you might need to combine these services).
10:01AM
10/15
• 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 from the telephone service provider along with the call
information.
Caller ID information might not be available for every incoming
call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. To
view call log entries with numbers between 16 and 23 digits, you must save
the entry to the directory (see page 38)
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
Caller ID history
How the caller ID history (call log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50
incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in
reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest
entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This
information is common to all handsets, so changes made using
any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you answer a
call before the information appears on the screen, it does not
show in the caller ID history.
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.
XX Missed call(s) appears if there are new call log entries
(including missed and unreviewed calls). Call log empty appears
if there are no records in the call log.

Memory match
If the incoming telephone number exactly matches a telephone

NOTE: The number you see on your caller ID is in the format from
the telephone service provider. The telephone service provider usually
delivers ten-digit phone numbers (area code plus phone number). If
the telephone number of the caller does not exactly match a number
in your directory, the name appears the same from the telephone
service provider. For example, if the telephone service provider
includes the area code and the directory number does not, the name
is the one which the telephone service provider sends.

Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types

system and those left at your telephone service provider’s

voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in digital

answering system messages and voicemail messages are
separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.
If
and
display on the handset, and the message counter indicator on
the telephone base flashes, your telephone service provider is indicating that
it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, you typically dial an
access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a
security code or PIN.
To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press
/PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 28).
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.
You can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by
setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers. To
learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service
provider. 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 by following the instruction below.
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.
Message capacity
The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length
of each message. Individual messages can be up to four minutes, and the
maximum recording time is approximately 11 minutes. The actual recording
time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available
for replay until you delete them.
When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system, the
number of messages stored flashes in the message counter.
If the answering system has less than three minutes, it announces, “Less than
three minutes to record.” The handset screen displays Less than 3 minutes to
record before message playback.

shows on the handset when there are new answering
system messages.
NOTE: After reviewing new message(s), the number of old message(s)
appears on the message window.
If the new message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every 10
seconds when there are unreviewed messages.
Call screening at the telephone base
If the answering system is on and the telephone base volume is not off (set
to 1 or higher), you hear the announcement and the incoming message when
receiving a call. If you want the telephone base to be silent while recording
messages, make sure you set the telephone base volume to 0.

Appendix F
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. 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.

5. How do you get warranty service?
To obtain warranty service, visit www.telephones.att.com or call
1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
NOTE: Before calling for service, please review the user’s manual; a check of the PRODUCT
controls and features may save you a service call.
Except as provided by applicable law, you assume the risk of loss or damage during transit and
transportation and are responsible for delivery or handling charges incurred in the transport of the
PRODUCT(s) to the service location. The manufacturer will return repaired or replaced PRODUCT
under this limited warranty to you. Transportation, delivery or handling charges are prepaid. The
manufacturer assumes no risk for damage or loss of the PRODUCT in transit. If the PRODUCT failure
is not covered by this limited warranty, or proof of purchase does not meet the terms of this limited
warranty, the manufacturer will notify you and will request that you authorize the cost of repair
prior to any further repair activity. You must pay for the cost of repair and return shipping costs for
the repair of products that are not covered by this limited warranty.
6. What must you return with the PRODUCT to get warranty service? You must:
• Return the entire original package and contents including the PRODUCT to the service location
along with a description of the malfunction or difficulty; and
• Include “valid proof of purchase” (sales receipt) identifying the PRODUCT purchased (PRODUCT
model) and the date of purchase or receipt; and
• Provide your name, complete and correct mailing address, and telephone number.
7. Other limitations
This warranty is the complete and exclusive agreement between you and the manufacturer of
this AT&T branded PRODUCT. It supersedes all other written or oral communications related to
this PRODUCT. The manufacturer provides no other warranties for this PRODUCT. The warranty
exclusively describes all of the manufacturer’s responsibilities regarding the PRODUCT. There are no
other express warranties. No one is authorized to make modifications to this limited warranty and
you should not rely on any such modification.
State/Provincial Law rights: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights which vary from state to state or province to province.
Limitations: Implied warranties, including those of fitness for a particular purpose and
merchantability (an unwritten warranty that the PRODUCT is fit for ordinary use) are limited to one
year from date of purchase. Some states/provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. In no event shall the manufacturer
be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or similar damages (including, but not
limited to lost profits or revenue, inability to use the PRODUCT or other associated equipment, the
cost of substitute equipment, and claims by third parties) resulting from the use of this PRODUCT.
Some states/provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Please retain your original sales receipt as proof of purchase.

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.
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 only 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.
