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

See pages 11-12 for easy instructions.

Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 14). For optimum range and better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see page 9). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

Your product may be shipped with protective stickers covering the handset and telephone base displays - remove them before use.

For customer service or product information, visit our website at

www.telephones.att.com or call 1 [phone]. In Canada, dial 1 [phone].

Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:

• Communication devices such as television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
• Excessive heat sources.
• Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.
• Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
• Excessive moisture.
  • Extremely low temperature.
• Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of a washing machine or workbench.

• If you do not use the handset for a long time, disconnect and remove the battery to prevent possible leakage.

Getting started

Battery backup mode

Battery backup mode allows your telephone system to function in the event of a power outage. The telephone system uses stored power from the handset's battery to operate.

To activate the mode

After the power goes out, if there is already a handset with enough charge placed in the telephone base, the telephone system enters battery backup mode automatically. That handset screen shows Powering base... Don't pick up. All other handset screens show Battery backup mode.

-OR-

If there is no handset placed in the telephone base after the power goes out, all handsets show Out of range OR no power at base and Put HS on base to power base alternatively.

Place any handset with enough charge in the telephone base. Its screen shows Powering base... Don't pick up. All other handset screens show Battery backup mode.

NOTE: A handset which does not have enough charge to power up the base, its screen shows Out of range OR no power at base and Not enough battery to power base alternatively after the power goes out. Find another system handset that has enough charge to activate the mode.

Operation

During battery backup mode, the telephone base, answering system and all Bluetooth related features will be disabled. The operating time is subject to the battery level of the handset placed in the telephone base and the actual usage. For optimal performance, you are not recommended to use the handset placed in the telephone base when this mode is on.

Using other system handsets (Recommended):

Operate the handsets the same way as usual, except the answering system and all Bluetooth related features which will be disabled.

Using the handset placed in the telephone base:

To maximize the operating time, you are not advised to use this handset. If you do have to use it, make sure you do not lift it from the telephone base. All operations should be done with the handset placed in the telephone base. In this case, calls can only be made and received using the speakerphone.

Getting started

Bluetooth

Introducing Bluetooth

- If you experience poor sound quality, it may be caused by the distance between your cell phone and the telephone base. To improve the performance, place your cell phone closer to the telephone base (within 15 feet) and make sure that there are no physical obstacles such as large furniture or thick wall in between.

• Charge your cell phone while it is connected to the telephone base. Your cell phone's battery discharges faster while it is connected to the telephone base via Bluetooth wireless technology.
• Monitor your cell phone's usage because minutes may be deducted from your cellular plan for the duration of all cell calls, depending on the terms of your plan.

Refer to the Bluetooth setup section (pages 20-32) to learn how to set up your Bluetooth device. Refer to the Telephone operation section (pages 48-66) on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new AT&T CLP99183/CLP99283/CLP99353/CLP99383/CLP99453/CLP99483/CLP99553/CLP99583 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology.

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 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.

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.

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 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 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.

Review the caller ID log

Review the caller ID log to find out who called, to return the call, or to copy the caller's name and number into your directory. Caller ID log empty appears if there are no records in the caller ID log.

1. When the handset or the telephone base is in idle mode, press ▼CID on the handset or ▼CALLER ID on the telephone base to review the caller ID log in reverse chronological order starting with the most recent call.

-OR-

1. Press ▼CID or ▲DIR on the handset or ▼CALLER ID or ▼DIRECTORY on the telephone base to scroll through the list.

CALLER ID

NOTE: Only one handset or the telephone base can review the caller ID log at a time. If another device tries to enter the directory or caller ID log, it shows Not available at this time.

View dialing options

Although the incoming caller ID log entries have ten digits (the area code plus the seven-digit number), in some areas, you may need to dial only the 7 digits, 1 plus the seven digits, or 1 plus the area code plus the seven digits. You can change and store the number of digits that you dial in the caller ID log.

While reviewing the caller ID log, press # (pound key) repeatedly to show different dialing options for local and long distance numbers before dialing or saving the telephone number in the directory.

Press 1 repeatedly if you need to add or remove 1 in front of the telephone number before dialing or saving it in the directory.

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 Q and XX New msgs show on the handset and XX New messages shown 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 116).
• 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, you typically 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 your answering system, turn off your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail service.

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 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.

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 (see Recording time on page 110), and the maximum recording time is approximately 14 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.

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.

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.

If the manufacturer repairs the PRODUCT, they may use new or refurbished replacement parts. If the manufacturer chooses to replace the PRODUCT, they may replace it with a new or refurbished PRODUCT of the same or similar design. The manufacturer will retain defective parts, modules, or equipment. Repair or replacement of the PRODUCT, at the manufacturer's option, is your exclusive remedy. The manufacturer will return repaired or replacement products to you in working condition. You should expect the repair or replacement to take approximately 30 days.

3. How long is the limited warranty period?

The limited warranty period for the PRODUCT extends for ONE (1) YEAR from the date of purchase. If the manufacturer repairs or replaces a materially defective PRODUCT under the terms of this limited warranty, this limited warranty also applies to repaired or replacement PRODUCT for a period of either (a) 90 days from the date the repaired or replacement PRODUCT is shipped to you or (b) the time remaining on the original one-year limited warranty; whichever is longer.

4. What is not covered by this limited warranty?

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 speakerphone on your handset allows both ends of a call to speak and be heard at the same time. Optimal performance is subject to external factors and individual usage.
