You must install and
charge the battery before
using the telephone. STOP!
Installation
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 11). 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 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 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,

ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.
Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
Excessive moisture.

Caller ID announce
The caller ID announce feature lets you know who’s calling
without having to look at the display. When you have an
incoming call, the handset and/or base speaks “Call from...”
and the name of the caller based on the directory or caller
ID information. If the caller’s name is private or unknown, the
phone number up to the last 11 digits will be announced.
If the caller’s phone number is also private or unknown, no
information will be announced. The default setting is On.
To turn on or off the caller ID announce feature:
1. Press MENU/SELECT in idle mode to enter the main menu.
2. Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to Settings, then press
MENU/SELECT.
3. Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to Caller ID annc, then
press MENU/SELECT.

NOTES:
To use the caller ID announce feature, you must subscribe to caller ID service from your
telephone service provider.
If you have paired an AT&T TL80133 DECT 6.0 cordless speakerphone to the telephone base,
the caller ID announce setting for all devices also applies to the speakerphone. When the setting
is On, the speakerphone speaks “Call from...” and the name of the caller based on the directory
or caller ID information during an incoming call. If the caller’s name is unavailable, the phone
number up to the last 11 digits will be announced.
When there are up to five handsets registered, the telephone system supports caller ID announce
for all handsets. If six or more handsets are registered, the system supports caller ID announce for
the first four registered handsets only.
This feature does not announce information for call waiting calls.
It takes at least two rings for the phone to receive caller ID information and announce it. If the
phone is answered before the end of the second ring, the phone won’t have time to announce
the caller’s information.
Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be pronounced correctly.
Caller ID announce is available in English only.
