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.

Telephone does

• Make sure the battery pack is installed and charged correctly (see

not work at all

page 7).

 

• Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not controlled by

 

a wall switch.

 

• Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit

 

and the modular jack.

 

• Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

 

• If you have dial pulse telephone service, make sure the dial mode is

 

set to dial pulse (see page 11).

 

• If these suggestions do not work, unplug the base, remove and re-

 

insert the battery, then place the handset in the base to re-initialize.

 

 

Phone does not ring

Make sure the ringer is on (see page 10).

Make sure the telephone line cord and AC adapter are plugged in properly (see page 6).

Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

Move the handset closer to the base.

You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.

If you hear noise or interference during a call

Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.

You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.

Press CHAN to select another channel. If noise is exceptionally loud, move closer to the base before changing channels.

Appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or base to another outlet.

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.

If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at least 15 seconds.

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.

If you lose a call

• You were probably almost out of range. Move closer to the base

after changing

before changing channels. Before placing another call, set the hand-

channels

set in the base for at least 15 seconds.
