The telephone base comes with a mount bracket set for tabletop use. If you
want to mount your telephone on a wall, rotate the mount bracket down
so the telephone can connect with a standard dual-stud telephone wall-
mounting plate. If you do not have this mounting plate, you can purchase
one from many hardware or consumer electronics retailers. You might need a
professional to install the mounting plate.
Tabletop to wall-mount installation
To install the telephone base in the wall-mount position, make sure that you
first unplug the telephone line cord and power adapter from the telephone
wall jack and power outlet. Make sure they are plugged into their jacks on
the telephone base and routed through the channels.
1. Press the tabs indicated by the arrows. The bracket will detach from the
telephone base. Rotate it down into wall-mount position, making sure it
clicks into place.

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.

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 cordless speakerphone.
When the setting is On, the cordless 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 2 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.

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 68).
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 log
How the 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 missed calls message goes away. When
there is a new unanswered call, the missed calls message
displays again. The number of missed calls includes all new
and missed entries that have not been reviewed.
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 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 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.

on the previous page).
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
XX New messages shows and /PLAY/STOP flashes on
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
telephone base (page 88).
If and New voicemail display on the handset and
the telephone base, your telephone service provider is
indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen
to your voicemail, dial an access number provided by
your telephone service provider, followed by a security
code or PIN.
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.
To use your voicemail service rather than the answering system, turn off
the answering system. To use the answering system rather than your
voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate
your voicemail service.
NOTE: After reviewing all new messages, the number of old messages appears on the
message counter.
Using the answering system 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. Then, 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.
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.

About the answering system
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 messages (including memos) on the
answering system, the total 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.
Voice prompts
The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup
procedures at the telephone base, message playback, remote access and
recording outgoing announcements.

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 10 hours. For
optimum daily performance, return the cordless handset to the 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 7 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 7-8.
The display shows No line. I cannot get a dial tone.
Try all the suggestions, as 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 CL84115/CL84215/CL84265/
CL84365 telephone, or contact your telephone service provider
(charges may apply).
I cannot dial out.

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. You may
call 1-800-8-BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.
RBRC and 1-800-8-BATTERY are registered trademarks of the Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation.
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.

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

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 speakerphone
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.
