5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Care

Always use the provided rechargeable AAA batteries.
Charge handsets for at least 10 hours before first use.
If the handset is not used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
Replace batteries when they no longer hold a charge effectively.

5.2 Cleaning

Clean the telephone and charging contacts with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Do not use cleaning sprays or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish or electrical components.

6. Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
No dial tone.	Ensure the base unit's power adapter is securely plugged into an electrical outlet and the telephone line cord is connected to a wall jack. Check if the telephone line cord is damaged. Test with another phone to confirm the wall jack is working.
Cannot make or receive calls.	Ensure batteries are charged. Verify the base unit is powered and connected to the telephone line. If using Smart Call Blocker, ensure the number is not on the block list or is on the allow list.
Poor audio quality or static.	Move closer to the base unit. Avoid placing the base unit near other electronic devices (e.g., microwaves, Wi-Fi routers) that may cause interference. Check for physical obstructions between the handset and base.
Answering machine not recording messages.	Ensure the answering system is turned ON. Check if the memory is full; delete old messages. If you have a voicemail service from your telephone provider, ensure the number of rings on your AT&T phone is set lower than your provider's voicemail pickup setting. This allows the phone's answering system to answer first.
