If you try to make a call when out of range, you will hear two short beeps when you press PHONE. Move
closer to the base, and press PHONE again to make the call.
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 again to answer the call.
Changing Channels
Your Cordless Answering System 5635 has an advanced 10-channel
AutoSelect™
feature that minimizes
the chance of interference. Every time you answer or make a call, the
AutoSelect
circuit provides the
clearest channel.
In the unlikely event you notice noise or interference while using your phone, press and release
CHANNEL
to change to another of the 10 available channels. If the noise doesn’t clear, switch channels again until you
find a quiet one. Your call will not be interrupted, and the message indicator on the base will display the
number of the new channel for a few seconds. The channel number is also displayed when you remove the
handset from the base, and when you press
PHONE, INTCM, PAGE, or ANS SYS
on the handset.
If the noise is exceptionally loud, move closer to the base before pressing
CHANNEL
– or you might lose
the call. If you do lose the call, place the handset in the base for a few seconds, then make the call again.
NOTE: You must be in range to change channels. If you press CHANNEL while out of range, you
might lose the call.
Using the Intercom and Page
Your AT&T Cordless Answering System can also work as a two-way intercom between the handset and the
base unit. This does not tie up your telephone line – you can still receive calls when using the intercom.
NOTE: The operating range for the intercom is about the same as for regular telephone calls. You
must be within range to turn the intercom on or off, or to page someone at the other end.
Paging Someone at the Other End
If you are at the handset, you can page someone at the base unit, and vice versa.
If you are at the handset, press and release
PAGE
. This will sound a three-part paging tone at the base unit.
Press and release
INTCM
to activate the intercom. You can then speak with the person at the base unit
through the handset.
If you are at the base unit, press and release
PAGE/FIND
to signal the handset. This will sound a three-
part paging tone at the handset. When the person answers, speak toward the base.
Answering a Page
If you are at the handset and hear the three-part paging tone, press and release
INTCM.
This turns on the
intercom and lets you speak to the person at the base.
If you are at the base and hear the three-part paging tone, wait for the INTERCOM Light to go on and then
speak toward the base. You’ll hear the other person through the speaker.
Ending an Intercom Conversation
To end an intercom conversation and turn off the intercom, press
OFF
on the handset.
Answering a Call During an Intercom Conversation
If you receive a call while using the intercom, press
PHONE
to turn off the intercom and connect the
incoming call.
