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.

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 74).
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 (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 the telephone base and all handsets,
so changes made using any handset or the telephone base are reflected
in all other devices. If you answer a call before the information appears on
the screen, it does not show in the caller ID log.
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 or the telephone base 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 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.

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

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 letters 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.

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 digital answering 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 XX New messages show on the handset and
the telephone base, there are new messages in the built-in
answering system. To listen to messages recorded on your
digital answering system, press /PLAY/STOP on the

About the answering system
Using the answering machine and voicemail together
You can also use your 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. If you are on a call, or the
answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call,
the second caller can leave a voicemail message.
Set the 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 the 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 three minutes,
and the maximum recording time is approximately 22 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 shows in the message counter.
If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time
left, it announces, “Less than three minutes to record,” before message
playback at the handset or the telephone base. Rec mem low displays on
the device screen in idle mode. When you turn on the answering system at
the telephone base, it announces, “Calls will be answered. Less than three
minutes to record.”
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full,”
before message playback. The device screen displays Rec mem full in idle
mode. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn the answering system back
on if it has been turned off, nor can you record new messages until old
ones have been deleted. Memory full displays if you want to turn on the
answering system on the handset but there is no memory.

Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty with your phone please try the following suggestions.
For Customer Service, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com or
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 ten 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 9 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 9-10.
The display shows 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 CL83215/CL83315/CL83415/CL83465/
CL83565 telephone, or contact your telephone service provider (charges
may apply).

Troubleshooting
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.
If other phones in your home are having the same problem, contact your

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.

Important safety information
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 synchronized with the telephone base.
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.

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.
Spécifiquement en rapport avec les répondeurs téléphoniques
Enregistrement deux voies : Cet appareil n’émet pas de bips d’avertissement qui permettent de
prévenir l’autre partie que vous enregistrez la conversation. Pour assurer votre conformité aux
règlements fédéraux ou provinciaux en rapport avec les enregistrements des conversations
téléphoniques, vous devriez informer l’autre partie lorsque vous activez l’enregistrement.

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.
HD audio
HD audio improves sound quality by expanding and rebuilding frequencies that are lost with
traditional phone calls. There is no additional telephone service requirement to use HD audio.
It is designed to work with standard telephone service. Your system will automatically enhance
all received sound with HD audio.
Simulated full-duplex handset and base speakerphones
The simulated full-duplex speakerphones on your handset and telephone base allow both ends
of a call to speak and be heard at the same time. Optimal performance is subject to external
factors and individual usage.
