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
f Read and understand all instructions in the user's manual. Observe all markings on the product. f Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There might be a slight chance of electric shock
from lightning. f 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. In an inadequately ventilated environment, the user should not plug the phone into a power outlet, nor put a charged handset into the cradle where there are concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases. 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. f Do not use this product near water or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet basement or shower, nor next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, and laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquids, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly. f Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion. f If this product does not operate normally, read the Troubleshooting section on pages 92-99 of this user's manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to the Limited warranty section on pages 105-106. Do not open this product except as may be directed in your user's manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose you to hazardous voltages or other risks. f Replace batteries only as described in your user's manual (pages 15-16). Do not burn or puncture batteries -- they contain caustic chemicals. f The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-thetable or cabinet outlet. f For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
CAUTIONS: f Use only the power adapters provided with this product. To obtain a replacement, visit our
website at https://telephones.att.com, or call 1 (800) 222­3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
i CAUTION: To prevent risk of fire or battery explosion, replace with the correct battery type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
f Disconnect the telephone line from the equipment before open the battery door.
Do not use the battery in following conditions:
f High or low extreme temperature during use, storage or transportation.
f Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that can defeat a safeguard.

Getting started
Important safety information
f Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can result in an explosion.
f Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
f A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
f Use only the supplied rechargeable battery or replacement battery (model BT162342/BT262342).
To order, visit our website at https://telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
f The applied nameplate is located at the bottom or near of the product.
Especially about cordless telephones f 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. f 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. f 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. f 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. f 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.

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: f Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker. f Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket,
when it is turned ON. f 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.

Caller ID
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 telephone, even while on another call.

It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:

f You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need to combine these services).
f You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
f 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.

Christine Smith 888-883-2445
1 0 : 3 0 PM 1 0 / 2 0

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.

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.

51

Caller ID
Caller ID operation
How the caller ID log works
The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 30 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 cordless handset is not in use and has new or missed

calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls.

HANDSET 1 16 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 1 0 : 3 0 PM 1 0 / 2 0

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. 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 you see on your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone service provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the last 7 digits of the incoming telephone number do not match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.

About the answering system
Answering system and voicemail Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those recorded on its built-in digital answering system and those recorded in 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.
f If XX New messages display on the handsets, 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. To listen to messages with a handset, see To listen to messages on a cordless handset on page 77.
f If and New voicemail display on the handset, 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 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 the voicemail service.
Use the answering system and voicemail together You can also use the 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.

The total storage capacity for the announcement, messages and memos 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 3 minutes of recording time left, "Less than 3 minutes to record" is announced before the message playback and Rec mem low appears on the handset screen. If the memory is full, the answering system announces, "Memory is full," before message playback. The device screen displays Rec mem full when it is not in use. 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 or handset, message playback, remote access and recording outgoing announcements.

About the answering system
Call intercept When a caller is leaving a message on your answering system, you can stop recording and talk to the caller by pressing PHONE/FLASH on the handset. Temporarily turn off the message alert tone If the message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every ten seconds when there are new messages. Pressing any telephone base key (except FIND HS) temporarily silences the message alert tone. However, if you press a key at the telephone base to silence the message alert tone, the telephone base will also perform the corresponding key function. For example, if you press X/DELETE on the telephone base when it is not in use to temporarily turn off the message alert tone, there is a voice prompt directing you to press X/DELETE again to delete all old messages. The message alert tone is temporarily off. Only press X/DELETE a second time if you wish to erase all old messages in your answering system. The message alert tone resumes when you receive another message.

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone f Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must
be treated with care. f Avoid rough treatment. f Place the handset down gently. f Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever
need to ship it. Avoid water f Your telephone can be damaged 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 f 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 f 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. f 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 telephone out by the unplugged cords.
