About Caller Identification  
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  
You don’t subscribe to any Caller  
ID or Call Waiting services.  
You can use this phone 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  
they may not be available in all areas.  
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.  
See Caller ID Operation, beginning on  
page 14, for more details about how  
these features work.

In case of difficulty  
If you have difficulty with your phone, please try the suggestions below. For Customer  
Service, visit our web site at www.telephones.att.com, or call 1 800 222–3111.  
Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not controlled by  
a wall switch.  
Telephone does  
not work at all  
Make sure the line cord is plugged firmly into the telephone and the  
modular jack (see page 5).  
Make sure the ringer is on (see page 8).  
Telephone does  
not ring  
Make sure the telephone line cord and AC adapter are plugged in  
properly (see page 5).  
You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to  
allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.  
Appliances plugged into the same circuit as the telephone can cause  
interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone to another outlet.  
If you hear  
noise or  
interference  
during a call  
Disconnect the telephone from the modular jack and connect another  
telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in your  
wiring or local service. Call your local telephone service company.
