Caller ID and Call Waiting
Caller ID with Call Waiting features in
this telephone let you see who's call-
ing 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 pro-
vider 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, or
• you currently do not have any
Caller ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this telephone with regu-
lar 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 on page 22
for more details about how these fea-
tures work.
Battery Pack for Cordless
Handset
Use only the supplied rechargeable
battery pack or AT&T replacement
battery model 3301 (SKU 91076. Part
Number 80-5071-00-00).
Telephone Operating Range
The cordless telephone handset oper-
ates with the maximum power allowed
by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). This cordless
handset and the telephone base unit
can communicate over only a certain
distance - which can vary with the
locations of the base unit and the
cordless handset, the weather, and the
construction of your home or office.
If there is an incoming call but the
cordless handset is out of range, the
cordless handset might not ring - or if
it does ring, the call might not connect
well when
PHONE is pressed. Move
closer to the base, then press PHONE
to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a tele-
phone conversation, you might hear
noise or interference from the cord-
less handset. To improve reception,
move closer to the telephone base
unit.
If you move out of range without
pressing
OFF, your telephone will be
left "off the hook" and the line will be
busy. To hang up properly, walk back
toward the telephone base unit while
periodically pressing OFF until the call
is disconnected.
If you experience noise or interference
while on a call, press the
CHAN button
until you find a clearer channel.
