Information about Caller ID with Call Waiting

This product has a Caller ID with Call Waiting feature that works with services from your local telephone service provider.

Caller ID with Call Waiting lets you see the name of the caller before you answer the telephone, even when you're on another call.

You may need to change your phone 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 combined service).
• you have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service.
• you don't subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services.

You can use this product with regular Caller ID service, or you can use this product's other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service.

There are fees for Caller ID services, but these may not be available in all areas.

Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller's number, or the caller's name and number. This product can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. The time and date are sent by the service provider along with the call information.

You must install and charge the battery before using the telephone.

STOP!

See page 8 for easy instructions.

Before you begin

About caller identification (CID)

The Caller ID with Call Waiting features in this telephone let you see who's calling before you answer the phone, even when you're on another call. These features require services provided by your local telephone company.

Contact your telephone service provider if:

• you have both Caller ID and Call Waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service),
• you have only Caller ID service, or only Call Waiting service, or
• you do not subscribe to any Caller ID or Call Waiting services but wish to try them now.

You can use this telephone with regular Caller ID service, and you can use its other features without subscribing to either Caller ID or combined Caller ID with Call Waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and these services may not be available in all areas.

The Caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering Caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.

Telephone operating range

This cordless telephone operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the layout of your home or office.

If there is a call while the handset is out of range, it might not ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect well when you press /PHONE/FLASH . Move closer to the telephone base, then press /PHONE/FLASH to answer the call.

If the handset moves out of range during a telephone conversation, there might be interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.

If you move out of range without pressing OFF/CANCEL, the telephone will be disconnected after five seconds.

Telephone base installation

Install the telephone base as shown below. Choose a central location within the home, away from any electronic equipment and appliances such as personal computers, computer routers, television sets, microwave ovens, and refrigerators. Avoid excessive heat, cold, dust or moisture.

NOTE: Use only the power adapter supplied with this product. If you need a replacement,

call 1 [phone]. In Canada, call 1 [phone]. Be sure to use an electrical outlet not

controlled by a wall switch.

Battery installation & charging

After installation, place the handset in the telephone base and allow the battery to charge for sixteen hours before use. You can keep battery charged by returning the handset to the telephone base after each use. When the battery power is fully depleted, a full recharge takes about sixteen hours.

Press tab and slide cover away from the battery compartment.

Low battery indicator

Return handset to telephone base to recharge when this symbol flashes.

(Handset will beep when battery is low.)

Insert supplied battery as indicated. Insert the top edge (contacts and tab) first, then push down on the lower portion.

Replace battery compartment cover.

Caution: Use only supplied rechargeable battery or AT&T replacement battery Model 103 (SKU 00249).

NOTE: When fully charged, the battery in the handset can provide 5 hours of talk time or 3 days of standby time (when idle and away from the telephone base).

NOTE: For installation of the spare battery into the spare bat
tery compartment on the telephone base, please see page 68.

Wall mounting

The telephone base can be installed on any standard telephone outlet as shown below. Choose a central location within the home, away from any electronic equipment such as personal computers, computer routers, television sets or microwave ovens. Avoid excessive heat, cold, dust or moisture.

1) Connect telephone line cord and AC power cord to telephone jacks and wall jacks, as shown on page 7.
2) Install wall mount bracket onto set.
(a) First put the two front wall-mount bracket tabs into the front notches on the bottom of the telephone base.
(b) Squeeze the rear tabs of the wall mount bracket when inserting them into the rear notches on the bottom of the telephone base.

3) Position the wallmount bracket over the wall outlet mounting pegs, then press and slide the wall-mount bracket down firmly so it is held securely on the outlet mounting pegs.

Belt clip & optional headset

Install belt clip as shown below if desired.

Snap the belt clip into the notches on the side of the handset. Rotate and pull to remove.

For hands-free telephone conversations, use any industry standard 2.5mm headset (purchased separately). For best result, use an AT&T 2.5mm headset.

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 or 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 either nickel-cadmium or 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-cadmium rechargeable batteries: Must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of them in household garbage. 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-cadmium 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 nickel-cadmium batteries.
