Information about caller ID with call waiting
This product has a caller ID with call waiting feature that
works with service from your local telephone service
provider.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name of the
caller before answering the phone, even when you’re on
another call.
You may need 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 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, and they 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.

Move the cordless handset closer to the tele-
phone base. It might be out of range.
•
•
The telephone line cord might be malfunction-
ing. Try installing a new telephone line cord.
Disconnect the base unit from the telephone
jack and connect a different telephone. If
there is no dial tone on the telephone either,
the problem is in your wiring or local service.
Contact your local telephone company.

an incoming
call.
Make sure the telephone line cord and power
adapter are plugged in properly.

phone base.
There may be too many extension phones on
the telephone line to allow all of them to ring
simultaneously. Try unplugging some of them.
If the other telephones in your home are hav-
ing the same problem, the problem is in the
wiring or local service. Contact the local tele-
phone company (charges may apply).
•
Other electronic products can cause interfer-
ence to your cordless telephone. Try installing
your telephone as far away as possible from
the following electronic devices: wireless rout-
ers, radios, radio towers, pager towers, cel-
lular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms,
room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal
computers, kitchen appliances, and other

Important safety information
This symbol alerts 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
• Read and understand all instructions in the user’s
manual. Observe all markings on the product.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury to per-
sons or damage to the telephone, read and follow these
instructions carefully:
• Use only supplied rechargeable battery (model ꢀ0ꢁ) or
AT&T replacement battery (model ꢀ0ꢂ).
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire; it could explode.
Check with local codes for special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electro-
lyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or
skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create
a short circuit with conductive materials such as rings,
bracelets, and keys.The battery or conductor may over-
heat and cause harm.
• Charge the battery provided with or identified for use
with this product only in accordance with the instruc-
tions and limitations specified in this manual.
• Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery
and battery charger.
• Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There
may be a slight chance of electric shock from lightning.
ꢀ9
Important safety information
• Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak.
If you suspect a gas leak, report it immediately, but use a
telephone away from the area where gas is leaking. If this
product is a cordless model, make sure the telephone base
is also away from the area.
• Do not use this product near water, or when you
are wet. For example, do not use it in a wet basement or
shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink,
or 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.
• Install this product in a protected location where no
one can trip over any line or power cords. Protect cords
from damage or abrasion.
• If this product does not operate normally, read in
case of difficulty (pages 10-18) in the user’s manual. If
you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged,
refer to the limited warranty (pages ꢁ8-ꢂꢁ). 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.
• Replace batteries only as described in your user’s manual.
Do not burn or puncture batteries — they contain caustic
chemicals.
CAUTION: Use only the power adapter provided with this product. To obtain
a replacement, call 1 (800) 222–3111.
ꢁ0
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 phones.
• Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless
telephone must be connected to a working electrical
outlet.The electrical outlet should not be 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
andVCRs.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.
ꢁꢀ
Important safety information
• 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.
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
• Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from
the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the
pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned
ON.
• Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the
pacemaker.
ꢁꢁ
Important safety information
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with
pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones.
