This AT&T Small Business System is expandable to a 16-extension telephone
system, with a maximum of 15 MS2015 extension desksets and a MS2025
cordless telephone. This system is not compatible with any other AT&T 4-line
small business telephones, except for the MS2015 and MS2025 telephones.
The MS2085 telephone is hearing-aid compatible and can be connected to
four incoming telephone lines. This telephone features a speakerphone for
handsfree use and a headset jack compatible with most two-band 2.5mm

Ethernet port allows the MS2085 telephone to connect with extension
desksets via a router. The PC port is for connecting the telephone to another
device such as a personal computer.
The MS2085 console enables paging, intercom, and call transfers between
system extensions and is capable of connecting three parties (two external
lines and a system extension) in the same conference call.
This telephone also features a 32-number one- and two-touch memory for
faster dialing and has a directory that can store up to 50 additional numbers
with names. This telephone has a caller ID feature that supports caller ID
with call waiting service. Caller ID services are subscriber services available

a central and private mailbox each that can store approximately 60 minutes
of messages, memos and conversations or a total of up to 99 messages.
You can access the answering system from a remote non-system touch-tone
telephone or from another system telephone. This MS2085 telephone is
equipped to function as an Auto Attendant in a multi-telephone system. An
Auto Attendant telephone can pick up and redirect incoming calls to other
extensions in your telephone system. You can assign more than one Auto
Attendant for your telephone system. For details, see the Auto attendant
operation section (pages 59-63). This user’s manual contains detailed
instructions for using your AT&T Small Business System MS2085 telephone.

for every incoming call. Callers may intentionally block their names and/or
telephone numbers.
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.
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, and while on another call.
There are fees associated with caller ID services. In addition, this service might
be called by different names (such as caller ID with visual call waiting) by
different telephone service providers and might not be available in all areas.
It might be necessary to change 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
might need to combine these services).
You only have caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
You do not subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.
NOTES:
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, or you can use this telephone’s other
features without subscribing to caller ID or caller ID combined with call waiting service.
The format of telephone numbers displayed depends on the home and local area codes you set
(See Area codes on page 36 for explanations and instructions on area code settings).

Caller ID
Caller ID information
How the caller ID information (call log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information for the last 200 incoming calls in
the console. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The telephone
deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls.
Each extension has independent caller ID information. Deleting the caller ID
information on any one extension does not affect the caller ID information on
other extensions.
If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does
not show in the caller ID information.
Review the caller ID information to determine who called, to easily return the
call, or to copy the caller’s name and number into your directory.
NEW indicator turns on and XX Missed call(s) appears if there are new call
log entries (including new or missed calls).
The time and date of the call and the caller’s name and telephone number
are included in the display.
Caller ID information appears on the screen as the telephone rings, or until
the caller hangs up, or until the call has been answered at another extension,
or until the call ends.
If you subscribe to caller ID service, this phone automatically resets the time
and date each time new call information is received. You can also set the
time and date yourself (see Set date and time on page 29).
NOTES:
1. The caller ID information might not be available for every incoming call. Callers might intentionally
block their names and/or telephone numbers.
2. Each entry can store up to 24 digits for the telephone number and 15 characters for the name. If
the telephone number has more than 16 digits but less than or equal to 24 digits, only the last
17 digits appear. If the telephone number has more than 24 digits, only the 8th to 24th digits (17
digits) appear. If the telephone number has more than 24 digits, it is not saved or shown in the
call history.

Caller ID
Caller ID operation
Memory match
If the incoming telephone number is an exact match with a telephone
number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the
corresponding name in your directory.
For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is how
you entered it into your directory.
NOTE: The number you see on your caller ID is in the format from the telephone service
provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number).
The telephone system ignores the area code when searching for a match and displays the
name of the first corresponding number from the directory.
Missed (new) calls indicator
When the console is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen
shows XX Missed call(s).
All new or missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review
a call history entry with the icon new, the number of missed calls decreases
by one. When all the entries in the caller ID information become old (have
been reviewed), the system removes the missed calls alert from the display,
and the NEW indicator turns off.
Review the caller ID information
When the console is idle, press CALL HISTORY.
2. Press or to review the caller ID information. The call history entries are
stored in reverse chronological order starting with the most recent entry.

Auto attendant setup (for answering system)
You can set up the auto attendant to answer outside calls, provide callers with
a company directory, automatically forward calls to a specified extension, and
enable callers to record voice messages when there is no answer. You can
use a default announcement or record up to five announcements of your own.
For details on how to use the auto attendant feature, see the Auto attendant
operation on page 75 of this user’s manual.
Announcement
Use this feature to record up to five new announcements so that you can
have different announcements for daytime and after hours. You can easily

to 75 seconds.
The system has a default announcement, “Thank you for calling our company.
If you know your party’s extension, you may dial it any time. For a company
directory, please dial 0. To leave a message , please dial 9.”
If you have many extensions, record a separate extension list in the
Directory OGM menu item and reference it in your auto attendant
announcement as shown in Sample announcement 1. If you have only a few
extensions, you can list them in the auto attendant announcement as shown
in Sample announcement 2 without the separate extension list.
Sample announcement 1: “Hello, you have reached XYZ Corp. Please
enter your parties’ extension, followed by the pound key. To hear a list of
extensions, dial star twice.”

About the auto attendant
You telephone system has two mailboxes, namely the central mailbox and
private mailbox.
If the auto attendant feature is off but the private mailbox is on, callers can
leaves messages in the private mailbox like an ordinary answering system.
If the auto attendant feature is on, it can store three kinds of messages,
private messages, central messages or system extension messages.
If both the auto attendant and private mailbox are turned on and you want
the auto attendant instead of the private mailbox to pick up an incoming call,
make sure you set the Auto ATT Delay of the auto attendant at a shorter
time than that of the private mailbox.
The auto attendant feature only works with a multi-phone system. Make sure
you have purchased MS2015 extension to expand your system before using
this feature. Only this MS2085 Console can serve as an auto attendant in the
telephone system and it redirects an incoming call from a shared outside line
to another phone in the same system. An auto attendant can only answer
one call at a time.
NOTES:
Only outside calls are answered by an auto attendant. The auto attendant phone does not answer
calls when the phone is being used for setup, message review, call history review, or a phone call.
If an auto attendant is active, adjust the delay times for different features to let the auto
attendant system answer outside calls. The private mailbox time (see Private mailbox delay on
page 69) of the console must be longer than the auto attendant answer delay time (see Auto
attendant delay on page 66).
Answering system capacity
You can record up to four outgoing announcements and a directory
announcement for the auto attendant, and one announcement for the private
mailbox. Each announcement can be up to two minutes.
Auto attendant and private mailbox announcements both require system
memory to record, so we suggest recording brief announcements in order to
leave more space for messages.
The maximum recording time of the console is 60 minutes. The actual
recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages
remain available for review until you delete them.
If the system memory is full, the screen displays Memory is full, and you
cannot record new messages until old ones have been deleted. Check
remaining system space frequently to maintain availability of space for
incoming messages.
NOTE: You cannot record an announcement when the telephone system is out of space.
You will hear a two-beep alert tone and voice prompt “Memory is full.”

Auto attendant operation
Using the auto attendant
When auto attendant is on, it automatically picks up a ringing line after the
pickup delay time you programmed (see Auto attendant delay on page 66),
and plays the appropriate auto attendant announcement. You can choose
from the following options.
Enter an extension number after the auto attendant announcement
is played. The system plays the default announcement ”Calling that
extension, Please wait.”
If the destination extension does not answer after around 12 seconds,
the call will be directed to the Console. If the call is not picked up after
45 seconds, the auto attendant answers the call again and announces,
“That extension is not answering. Enter a new extension number, or,
to leave a central message in the general mailbox, please dial nine.” If
the caller does not enter a command in 12 seconds, the auto attendant
announces, “That extension is not answering. Thank you.” and drops the
call.
If the destination extension does not pick up after around 45 seconds,
the system announces, “That extension is not answering. Enter a
new extension number, or, to leave a central message in the general
mailbox, please dial 9.”
If the private mailbox on the destination extension is on and the call
is not picked up after the programmed delay time, the extension
announces, “Hello, please leave a message after the tone,” then you
can record a private message in that extension mailbox.
Press 9 to enter central mailbox and leave a message.
Press 0 to play the directory announcement. The caller can then decide
whether to enter an extension number or not, and the auto attendant
responds as described above.
Enter the remote access code when the auto attendant announcement is
being played to access the answering system remotely.

Your telephone base contains sophisticated electronic parts, so you must treat it with care.
Avoid rough treatment.
Place the corded handset down gently.
Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone base if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
You can damage your telephone base if it gets wet. Do not use the corded handset in the rain,
or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For
your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone base has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years.
Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap.
Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under certain
circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into the power outlet,
or when the handset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common event associated with
the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should not plug the phone into a power
outlet, and should not put a charged handset into the cradle, if the phone is located in an
environment containing concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless there
is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a fire or explosion. Such
environments might include: medical use of oxygen without adequate ventilation; industrial
gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a leak of natural gas; etc.
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet
basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do
not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquid,
unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has
dried thoroughly.

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.
