See pages 8-10 for
easy instructions.
You must install and
charge the battery
before using the

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 display - remove it 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.

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 53).
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.

Call ID history
How the caller ID history (caller ID 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.
NOTE: Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15
characters for the name.
Missed (new) call indicator
When a handset is in idle mode and has new or
missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls.
All new and missed entries are counted as missed
calls. 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 log, you can press and hold OFF/CANCEL
for four seconds when the handset is idle. You
will hear a confirmation tone. All the entries in the caller ID log
become old (reviewed already), and the missed calls message
goes away.

Memory match
If the incoming telephone number matches
the last 7 digits of 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 shown in the caller ID log will be
in the format sent by the telephone service provider.
The telephone service provider usually delivers ten-
digit phone numbers (area code plus telephone
number). If the telephone number of the caller does
not match a number in your directory, the name will
appear as it is delivered by the telephone service
provider.

NOTES:
You may need to change how a caller ID number is dialed if the entry does not
appear in the correct format. Caller ID numbers may appear with an area code that is
not necessary for local calls, or without a 1 that is necessary for long distance calls
(see View dialing options on page 57).
If the caller’s name you received from the telephone service provider is all in
capital letters, the first letter of every word remains a capital letter, while other let-
ters become lower case. However, the next letter after the prefix “Mac”, “Mc”, “D’”,
“C’” or “O’”, is kept as a capital letter. For example, the “D” in “MacDonald” is kept as
a capital letter. Another exception is that “VAN DER” will be changed to “Van der”.
If the telephone number from the caller ID information has already been saved in the
directory under a different name, the new name will overwrite the old one.

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts,
so you must treat it with care.
Avoid rough treatment.
Place the handset down gently.
Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if
you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
You can damage your telephone if it gets wet. Do not use the
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 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 mild soap.
Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you
are wet or standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO
NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE
CORDS FROM THE WALL. Pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

Important safety information
This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions
that may appear in this user’s manual. Always follow basic safety
precautions when using this product to reduce the risk of injury, fire, or
electric shock.
Safety information
Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on
the product.
Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of
electric shock from lightning.
Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas 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.
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or
power cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
If this product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section on
pages 75-80 of this user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the
product is damaged, refer to the Limited warranty section pages 96-98. Do not

To prevent risk of fire or battery explosion, replace with the correct battery type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
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.
ECO mode
This power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery
performance. The ECO mode activates automatically whenever the handset is

For C-UL compliance
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.

Mesures préventives pour les utilisateurs de stimulateurs
cardiaques implantés dans l’organisme
Stimulateurs cardiaques (ne s’applique qu’aux téléphones sans fil numériques) :
L’organisme ‘Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)’, une firme de recherche
indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre
les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans
l’organisme. Appuyée par l’Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des
États-unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins :
Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques
Ils doivent tenir le téléphone sans fil à une distance d’au moins six pouces du
stimulateur cardiaque.
Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur le stimulateur
cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en fonction.
Ils doivent utiliser le téléphone sans fil en l’appuyant sur l’oreille qui se trouve
dans la direction opposée au stimulateur cardiaque.
L’étude effectuée par l’organisme WRS n’a pas identifié de risque pour les
détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causé par les gens qui utilisent un téléphone
sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
Mode ECO
Lorsque le socle communique avec le combiné, le mode ECO sera activé
automatiquement. Ceci réduit la consommation d’énergie selon la distance entre le
socle du téléphone et le combiné.
