AT&T 5635 manual Changing Channels, Using the Intercom

Page 5

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
