Home Answering Machines

Use of answering machine systems is not recommended as
some systems may not be compatible with AT&T Wireless Home
Phone Base.
If you choose not to use the voicemail provided by your Wireless
Home Phone Base, you can use your home answering machine
by plugging it into the “Phone 2” port on the back of your Wireless
Home Phone Base.
Then, set your answering machine to pick up calls in fewer rings
than the voicemail service, which is set to five (5) rings as a default.

Adjusting Volume

Use your home phone’s volume adjustment if available. Alternately,
the volume of the Wireless Home Phone Base can be adjusted if
necessary. While on a call, press ** or ## to enter Volume Setting
Mode. Press * to decrease volume. Press # to increase volume.
To exit Volume Setting Mode press any other key or wait five (5)
seconds.
Notes:
•   Four volume levels are available (level 1 to level 4); the default 
setting is the highest at level 4.
•   Your home phone(s) may have a separate volume level setting 
function that is independent of the Wireless Home Phone Base.
