Remember to save your sales receipt and original packaging in case you ever need to  
ship your telephone for warranty service. Check to make sure the telephone package  
includes the following:  
About Caller Identification  
Telephone operating range  
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.  
This cordless telephone operates with  
the maximum power allowed by the  
Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC). Even so, this handset and base  
can communicate over only a certain  
distance — which can vary with the  
locations of the base and handset, the  
weather, and the construction of your  
home or office. For best performance,  
keep the base antenna fully upright.  
Contact your telephone service  
provider if:  
• You have both Caller ID and Call  
Waiting, but as separate services  
(you may need combined service);  
Wall mount bracket  
If you receive a call while you are  
out of range, the handset might not  
ring — or if it does ring, the call might  
not connect when you press PHONE.  
Move closer to the base, then press  
PHONE to answer the call.  
Telephone base  
• You have only Caller ID service, or  
only Call Waiting service;  
Power  
adapter  
• You don’t subscribe to any Caller  
ID or Call Waiting services.  
Long telephone line cord  
If you move out of range during a  
phone conversation, you might hear  
noise or interference. To improve  
reception, move closer to the base.  
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.  
Telephone  
handset  
Short telephone line cord  
If you move out of range without  
pressing OFF, your phone will be left  
“off the hook.” To hang up properly,  
walk back toward the telephone base,  
periodically pressing OFF until the call  
is disconnected.  
Batteries  
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.  
Belt clip  
See Caller ID Operation, beginning on  
page 21, for more details about how  
these features work.

Outgoing announcements  
Announce Only mode  
Outgoing announcements are the messages callers hear  
when calls are answered by the answering system.  
In Announce Only mode, callers hear an announcement  
but cannot leave messages. This option is useful, for  
example, to notify callers that you will be away for an  
extended period and request that they call back after a  
certain date.  
The phone is pre-programmed with an announcement  
that answers calls with “Hello. Please leave a message  
after the tone.” You can use this announcement, or  
replace it with a recording of your own voice.

Adding new handsets  
Charging spare batteries  
Your telephone can accommodate up to eight cordless handsets . You can add new  
handsets (Model E250, sold separately) at any time, but each must be registered with the  
base before use.  
Optional spare batteries (sold separately) can be kept charged in the base, for quick  
replacement when handset batteries become depleted. For best results, use AT&T  
2AA rechargeable batteries (sku 26820).  
In the event of a power failure, the charged batteries in the base will allow you to  
make and receive calls from the cordless handset for up to 2.5 hours.  
Enter base ID, then press OK  
Before using a new handset, you must register it with the  
base. During registration, you must enter the 15-digit ID  
number of the telephone base. To find this number, go to

In case of difficulty  
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.  
You were probably out of range. Move closer to the base. Before  
placing another call, set the handset in the base for at least 15  
seconds.  
If you lose a call  
while using the  
handset  
Make sure batteries are installed and charged correctly (see page 7).  
Telephone does  
not work at all  
If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the  
system disconnects the call after 4 minutes.  
Incomplete  
messages  
Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not controlled by  
a wall switch.  
If the caller pauses for more than 7 seconds, the system stops  
recording and disconnects the call.  
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit  
and the modular jack.  
If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system  
stops recording and disconnects the call.  
Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.  
If these suggestions do not work, unplug the base, remove and re-  
insert the batteries, then place the handset in the base to re-initialize.  
Press volume buttons to increase speaker volume.  
Make sure that the answering system is on.  
Difficulty hear-  
ing messages  
System does  
not answer  
after correct  
number of rings  
Make sure the ringer is on (see pages 14-15).  
Phone does not  
ring  
If Toll Saver is activated, the number of rings changes to two when  
you have new messages waiting (see page 28).  
Make sure the telephone line cord and AC adapter are plugged in  
properly (see page 6).  
In some cases, the system may be affected by the ringing system  
used by the local telephone company.  
Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.  
Move the handset closer to the base.  
If the memory is full or the system is off, the system will answer after  
10 rings.  
You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to  
allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.  
You need to reset the answering system clock (see page 25).  
“CL” appears in  
message window  
Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.  
If you hear  
noise or  
interference  
during a call  
You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.  
Make sure to enter your Remote Access Code correctly (see page 33).  
System does  
not respond  
to remote  
Appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can cause  
interference. Try moving the appliance or base to another outlet.  
Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone. When you dial a  
number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the phone is not a  
touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system.  
The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating  
range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an  
upper floor.  
commands  
The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code  
while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announce-  
ment is over before entering the code.  
If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at  
least 15 seconds.  
There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using.  
Press dial-pad buttons firmly.  
Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a corded tele-  
phone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in your  
wiring or local service. Call your local telephone service company.  
When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a  
normal tone of voice, about 9 inches from the base.  
Announcement  
message is not  
clear  
Make sure there is no “background” noise (TV, music, etc.) while you  
are recording.
