AT&T CL82257 (01) PDF MANUAL

Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface or vertically mounted on the wall. For optimum range and better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location. If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL – digital subscriber line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters. Your product may be shipped with protective stickers covering the handset and telephone base displays – remove them before use.

• The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.

1. Plug the battery connector securely into the socket inside the handset battery compartment. Insert the supplied battery with the label THIS SIDE UP facing up, as indicated. 2. Align the cover flat against the battery compartment, then slide it upwards until it clicks into place. 3. Charge the handset by placing it face forward in the telephone base or charger. The CHARGE light on the handset is on during charging.
For best performance, keep the handset in the telephone base or charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged after ten hours of continuous charging. If the screen shows Place in charger and the battery icon flashes, you need to charge the handset without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone for a short time.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• Use only the supplied rechargeable battery or replacement battery (model BT183342/BT283342). To order, visit our website at https://telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
• If you do not use the handset for a long time, disconnect and remove the battery to prevent possible leakage.

This product supports caller ID services offered by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date, and time of calls. The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring. Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the call, even while on another call. You may need to contact your telephone service provider to subscribe to these features, and fees may apply. Services may not be available in all areas. The product provides information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service and use compatible equipment. The time and date are from the service provider. Caller ID information may not be available for every call, as callers can intentionally block their names/numbers. You can view a maximum of 15 digits of a caller ID log entry; to view numbers between 16 and 24 digits, save the entry to the directory.

The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order (most recent first). The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full. This information is common to all handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID log. Each entry may have up to 24 digits for the phone number and 15 characters for the name.

When a handset is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls. All new and missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by NEW on the screen), the number of missed calls decreases by one.
If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one but want to keep them in the log, press and hold OFF/CANCEL for four seconds when the handset is idle. You will hear a confirmation tone. All entries in the caller ID log become old (reviewed), and the missed calls message goes away.

If the incoming telephone number matches the last 7 digits of a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory. For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.
Note: The number shown in the caller ID log will be in the format sent by the telephone service provider (usually ten digits: area code + number). If the incoming number doesn’t match a directory entry, the name will appear as delivered by the service provider.

Review the log to find out who called, return the call, or copy the caller’s info into your directory. Caller ID log empty appears if there are no records.

1. When the handset is in idle mode, press ▼CID to review the caller ID log in reverse chronological order starting with the most recent call.

2. Press ▼CID or ▲DIR to scroll through the list.
3. Press OFF/CANCEL to exit the caller ID log.

You hear a double beep when the list reaches the beginning or end. Note: Only one handset can review the caller ID log at a time. If another device tries to enter, it shows Not available at this time.

Incoming caller ID log entries usually have ten digits (area code + seven-digit number). In some areas, you may need to dial only 7 digits, 1 + 7 digits, or 1 + area code + 7 digits. You can change and store the number of digits dialed from the caller ID log.

There are occasions when caller ID information might be missing or displayed differently for various reasons:

On-screen message	Reason
PRIVATE NUMBER	The caller prefers not to show the phone number.
PRIVATE NAME	The caller prefers not to show the name.
PRIVATE CALLER	The caller prefers not to show the phone number and name.
UNKNOWN NUMBER	Your telephone service provider cannot determine the caller’s number.
UNKNOWN NAME	Your telephone service provider cannot determine the caller’s name.
UNKNOWN CALLER	Your telephone service provider cannot determine the caller’s name and telephone number. Calls from other countries may also generate this message.

If you have subscribed to caller ID service, Smart Call Blocker helps filter robocalls, telemarketing calls, and unwanted calls, while allowing welcome calls to get through. You can set up lists of welcome callers (allow list, directory, star name list) and unwelcome callers (block list). Smart call blocker allows calls from welcome callers and blocks calls from unwelcome callers.
For other unknown calls (uncategorized or without numbers), you can choose to:

• Allow these calls.
• Block these calls.
• Forward these calls to the answering system.
• Screen these calls (ask caller to press # or record their name).

When screening, after the caller completes the request (presses # or records name), the phone rings and announces the name (if recorded). You can then choose to accept, block, or forward the call to the answering system. If the caller doesn’t respond or record their name, the call is blocked. Adding welcome callers to your allow list ensures they bypass screening.
Notes:

• Smart call blocker is on by default when you install your phone, allowing all calls initially. You can change settings to screen calls.
• With screening active, calls from numbers/names not in your directory, allow list, block list, or star name list are screened.
• You can easily add incoming numbers to your allow/block lists.
• To turn off Smart call blocker completely, see “Set Smart call blocker on/off”.

*Includes licensed Qaltel™ technology. Qaltel™ is a trademark of Truecall Group Limited.

Calls are classified into four categories:

• Welcome calls: Calls with numbers saved in your allow list or directory (and not in your block list). Also includes calls with caller names saved in your star name list (useful for organizations like schools or pharmacies using robocalls with known names but potentially unknown numbers).
• Unwelcome calls: Calls with numbers saved in your block list.
• Calls without numbers: Calls that are “out of area” or with numbers set to “Private”.
• Uncategorized calls: Calls with absent caller ID number, numbers not in your directory/allow/block list, or caller ID names not in your star name list.

Note: The allow list stores up to 200 entries, the block list stores up to 1,000 entries, and the star name list stores up to 10 names.

Smart call blocker handles calls in the following ways based on category and your settings:

Call category	Call control
Welcome calls	Allow: The telephone rings when there is an incoming call with a number saved in your allow list or directory (but not in your block list). Robocalls with caller names saved in your star name list will also ring.
Unwelcome calls	Block: The telephone does not ring when there is an incoming call with a number saved in your block list, and the call will be rejected.
Calls without numbers	You can set this category to: Screening with caller name: Plays screening announcement, asks caller to say their name. Phone rings, announces name. You decide to accept/reject/forward. Screening without caller name: Plays screening announcement, asks caller to press pound key (#). Phone rings. You answer. Allow (default): Calls get through and ring. Caller’s number not saved to allow list. Answering system: Forwards calls to answering system without ringing. Block: Rejects calls with block announcement without ringing. Caller’s number not saved to block list.
Uncategorized calls	You can set this category to: Screening with caller name: Plays screening announcement, asks caller to say their name. Phone rings, announces name. You decide to accept/reject/forward. Screening without caller name: Plays screening announcement, asks caller to press pound key (#). Phone rings. You answer. Allow (default): Calls get through and ring. Caller’s number not saved to allow list. Answering system: Forwards calls to answering system without ringing. Block: Rejects calls with block announcement without ringing. Caller’s number not saved to block list.

Notes:

• Smart call blocker is set to ‘on’ and ‘allow all’ by default. When on, the first ring of all incoming calls is muted.
• If your lists are empty and screening is set, all calls are screened (ask name or press #).
• If Smart call blocker is off, all calls ring, including blocked numbers.
• If QUIET mode is on and screening is active, screened calls go to the answering system after screening.

The feature is set to ‘on’ by default.

If Smart call blocker is on, the following types of incoming calls can get through and ring (depending on your settings):

• Calls with numbers saved in your allow list.
• Calls with numbers saved in your directory (but not on your block list).
• Calls with caller ID names saved in your star name list.
• If set to allow calls without numbers: Calls that are “out of area” or with numbers set to “Private”.
• If set to allow uncategorized calls: Calls with numbers not on your directory, allow list, or block list, or with absent caller ID number; Calls with caller ID names that are not on your star name list.

Note: When Smart call blocker is off, all incoming calls will ring, including calls with numbers saved in the block list. If you allow uncategorized calls, the caller’s numbers are not automatically saved to the allow list. You can manually save them from the caller ID log if desired.

Incomplete messages can occur for several reasons:

• If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the system disconnects the call after the maximum recording time you have set.
• If the caller pauses for longer than seven seconds, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.
• If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.
• If the caller’s voice is very soft, the system may stop recording and disconnect the call.

• Press ▲VOLUME+ to increase the telephone base speaker volume.
• Press ▲DIR/VOLUME on a handset to adjust the message playback volume on that handset.

Check the following:

• Make sure that the answering system is on. ANS ON should show on the handset and the /ANS ON/OFF light on the telephone base should be on.
• If toll saver is activated, the number of rings changes to two when you have new messages stored.
• If the memory is full or the system is off, the system will answer after ten rings.
• In some cases, the answering system is affected by the ringing system used by your telephone service provider.
• If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering system answers before your voicemail. To determine how many rings activate your voicemail, contact your telephone service provider.
• If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems.

Consider these points:

• Make sure to enter your remote access code correctly. The default code is 19.
• Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone. When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the phone is not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system.
• The answering system may not detect the remote access code while your announcement or message is playing. Try waiting until the announcement or message is over, or press command code 5 to stop the operation before entering other codes.
• There may be interference on the phone line you are using. Press dialing keys firmly.

Check the following:

• Make sure the answering system is on. ANS ON should show on the handset and the /ANS ON/OFF light on the telephone base should be on.
• Make sure the memory of the answering system is not full.
• If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering system answers before your voicemail. To determine how many rings activate your voicemail, contact your telephone service provider.
• If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems.

You need to reset the system clock.

• When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice, about nine inches from the handset.
• Make sure there is no background noise (TV, music, etc.) while recording.

Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail indication. If New voicemail and M appear on the screens, then your telephone has received a signal from your telephone service provider that you have a voicemail message waiting for you to retrieve from them. Contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to access your voicemail.

Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail indication. They are independent features and each alerts you to new messages differently. If you subscribe to voicemail service from your telephone service provider, contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to access your voicemail. Ensure you are following their specific instructions for retrieval, which might involve dialing an access number and entering a PIN.

Press MENU/SELECT on your handset in idle mode, then enter 364#. You hear a confirmation tone, and the language will be reset to English.

Check these potential issues:

• Make sure your computer is powered on.
• Make sure your Internet connection is working properly.
• Make sure that the software is installed and running for your nontraditional telephone service.
• Make sure to plug your USB telephone adapter into a dedicated USB port on your computer. Do not plug it into a multiple port USB hub (USB splitter) that is not powered.
• In a few rare instances, the USB port on your computer may not have enough power. Try using a USB hub with its own external power supply.
• If you are using a firewall, it may prevent access to your nontraditional telephone service provider. Contact your service provider for more information.

If the telephone does not seem to be responding normally, try putting the cordless handset in the telephone base or charger. If it does not fix the problem, do the following (in the order listed):

1. Disconnect the power to the telephone base.
2. Disconnect the cordless handset battery.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Connect power to the telephone base.
5. Replace the battery and place the cordless handset into the telephone base or charger. (Note: Step 5 in the source seems to say ‘Remove the battery. Replace the battery…’. It might be intended to mean ensure the battery connection is good or use a known good battery if available, then place it in the base/charger).
6. Wait for the cordless handset to reestablish its connection with the telephone base. Allow up to one minute for this to take place.

• Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so you must treat it with care.
• Avoid rough treatment.
• Place the handset down gently.
• Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.

You can damage your telephone if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base near a sink, bathtub or shower. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric appliances during storms. Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm, as there may be a slight chance of electric shock from lightning.

• Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or mild soap.
• Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
• Clean the cordless handset, charger and telephone base charging contacts each month with a pencil eraser or cloth (from page 141).

• Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on the product.
• Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak. Under certain circumstances, a spark may be created. Avoid plugging the phone or placing the handset in the cradle in environments with flammable gases unless adequately ventilated.
• Do not use this product near water or when you are wet (e.g., wet basement, shower, near a pool, sink, laundry tub). Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. Unplug immediately if it contacts liquid and wait until thoroughly dry before plugging back in.
• Install this product in a protected location where cords cannot be tripped over. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
• If the product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section. If unresolved or the product is damaged, refer to the Limited warranty section. Do not open the product except as directed in the user’s manual.
• Replace batteries only as described in the user’s manual. Do not burn or puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.

• Use only the power adapters provided. Visit the manufacturer’s website or call the provided number for replacements.
• Use only the supplied or correct replacement rechargeable battery type. Dispose of used batteries according to instructions.

Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves. There is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.

The telephone base must be connected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted. Use only the power adapters provided with this product.

Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive material such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger. Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury. Replace with the correct battery type (model BT183342/BT283342) to prevent risk of fire or explosion.

Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR) recommends to physicians that pacemaker patients:

• Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
• Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
• Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.

WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons using wireless telephones. (Note: This applies only to digital cordless telephones).

This power conserving technology reduces power consumption for optimal battery performance. The ECO mode activates automatically whenever the handset is synchronized with the telephone base.

This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform the other party that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the other party that you are recording the conversation.

This mode is intended for California Energy Commission (CEC) compliance testing only. When activated, all telephone functions, except battery charging, will be disabled.

1. Unplug the telephone base power adapter from the power outlet. Make sure all handsets are inserted with charged batteries before proceeding.
2. While you press and hold FIND HS, plug the telephone base power adapter back to the power outlet.
3. After about 20 seconds, when the IN USE light starts flashing, release FIND HS and then press it again within two seconds.

The process takes up to one minute to complete. When the phone successfully enters the CEC battery charging testing mode, the IN USE light turns off and all handsets display “To register HS, see manual.” You hear a confirmation tone. Note: The telephone base will be powered up as normal if you fail to press FIND HS within two seconds in Step 3.

1. Unplug the telephone base power adapter from the power outlet, then plug it back in. The telephone base is powered up as normal.

The AT&T DECT 6.0 products offer unsurpassed range performance and sound clarity. This is achieved through a unique antenna design and advances in noise-filtering technology. An independent laboratory has confirmed that AT&T DECT 6.0 products perform up to 45% better in range competitions against similarly equipped phones of the leading competition. Now, calls can be taken in the basement, backyard and garage with exceptional sound quality.

This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and telephone base can communicate over a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.

HD audio improves sound quality by expanding and rebuilding frequencies that are lost with traditional phone calls. There is no additional telephone service requirement to use HD audio. It is designed to work with standard telephone service. Your system will automatically enhance all received sound with HD audio.

The simulated full-duplex speakerphone on your handset allows both ends of a call to speak and be heard at the same time. Optimal performance is subject to external factors and individual usage.

• Calls on Block List: If Smart call blocker is on, incoming calls with numbers saved in your block list will not ring. The telephone plays the block announcement “Calls to this number are being screened by Smart call blocker. The number you are calling is not accepting your call. Please hang up.” to the caller, and the call will be terminated. (Note: If Smart call blocker is off, these calls will ring).
• Calls without Numbers: If Smart call blocker is on and set to block calls without numbers (“out of area” or “Private”), these calls will not ring and will be terminated after the block announcement.
• Uncategorized Calls: If Smart call blocker is on and set to block uncategorized calls (numbers not in directory, allow list, or block list; or names not on star name list), these calls will not ring and will be terminated after the block announcement.

Note: The telephone can respond to a remote access code while playing the block announcement, allowing remote access to the answering system from unknown numbers.

If Smart call blocker is on and set to screen calls without numbers (“out of area” or “Private”), the phone won’t ring initially. It plays a screening announcement and asks the caller to respond before connecting. There are two options:

• Ask for Caller Names: Announces “Hello. Calls to this number are being screened by Smart call blocker. Please say your name after the tone, then press pound.” After the caller responds, it announces “Please wait a moment while your call is connected.” The phone rings, announces the caller’s name, and displays “Screened call”. You can then answer, reject, or forward to the answering system.
• Do Not Ask for Caller Names: Announces “Hello. Calls to this number are being screened by Smart call blocker. If you’re a family member, friend or invited caller, please press pound to be connected. If you’re a solicitor, please hang up now.” After the caller presses #, it announces “Please wait a moment while your call is connected.” The phone rings, and you can answer. This filters calls using autodialers (robocalls, telemarketing).

Notes:

• The announcement uses your recorded name if available (“Hello. Calls to [Your Name] are being screened…”).
• If the caller hangs up during screening, it’s logged as a missed call.
• During screening, press PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER to answer immediately.
• While ringing after screening, press OFF/CANCEL to mute the ringer or CALL BLOCK to reject.
• Robocalls usually can’t respond and won’t get through unless saved in the star name list.
• Remote access codes work during screening.

When the phone rings and displays “Screened call” (potentially announcing the caller’s name):

• Answer Call Once: Press PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER to pick up. The phone announces options: “To answer the call, press 1. To send this call to the answering system, press 4. To repeat these options, press *.” Press 1 to answer. The number is *not* added to your allow list.
• Send Call to Answering System: Press PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER to pick up. When options are announced, press 4. The caller is sent to the answering system.
• End Call: If you picked up, press OFF/CANCEL to hang up. If you don’t want to answer while it’s ringing, press OFF/CANCEL to end the screening process and stop the ringing. Press CALL BLOCK to reject the call directly.
• Mute Ringer Temporarily: While the phone is ringing, press OFF/CANCEL.

Note: Caller ID announce feature can be turned on/off.

If Smart call blocker is on and set to screen uncategorized calls (numbers/names not in directory, allow list, block list, or star name list), the phone will not ring initially. It plays a screening announcement and asks the caller to respond. Options are similar to screening calls without numbers:

• Ask for Caller Names: Announces “Hello. Calls to this number are being screened by Smart call blocker. Please say your name after the tone, then press pound.” After the response, it connects, rings, announces the name, and displays “Screened call”. You can then choose to answer, reject, or forward.
• Do Not Ask for Caller Names: Announces “Hello. Calls to this number are being screened by Smart call blocker. If you’re a family member, friend or invited caller, please press pound to be connected. If you’re a solicitor, please hang up now.” After # is pressed, it connects and rings.

Notes:

• You can add numbers/names from screened calls to your allow/block/star lists later.
• The announcement uses your recorded name if available.
• Hang-ups during screening are logged as missed calls.
• Press PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER during screening to answer.
• While ringing, press OFF/CANCEL to mute or CALL BLOCK to reject (adds number to block list).
• Handling call waiting during screening depends on the situation (may show Caller ID/Blocked Call or be ignored).
• Robocalls usually fail unless in the star name list.
• Remote access codes work during screening.

When the phone rings and displays “Screened call” (potentially announcing the caller’s name):

• Allow Call Once: Press PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER to pick up. The phone announces options: “To answer the call, press 1. To answer and always allow this number, press 2. To block this number, press 3. To send this call to the answering system, press 4. To repeat these options, press *.” Press 1 to answer. The number is *not* added to your allow list.
• Always Allow: Press PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER to pick up. When options are announced, press 2. The number is added to your allow list.
• Block Call: Press PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER to pick up. When options are announced, press 3 (or press CALL BLOCK on the handset). The phone plays the block announcement to the caller (“The number you are calling is not accepting your call. Please hang up.”), the call ends, and the number is added to your block list.
• Send Call to Answering System: Press PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER to pick up. When options are announced, press 4. The caller is sent to the answering system (even if it’s off).
• Mute Ringer Temporarily: While the phone is ringing, press OFF/CANCEL.

Note: Caller ID announce feature can be turned on/off.

The phone has separate indicators:

• Built-in Answering System: If OO and XX New messages show on the handset and message window, you have new messages on the built-in system. Listen by pressing ►/■/PLAY/STOP on the base.
• Telephone Service Provider Voicemail: If M and New voicemail display on the handset, your provider indicates new voicemail. Dial the access number and use the security code/PIN provided by your service provider to listen.

Contact your provider to understand bundled services (like voicemail and call waiting) and access methods. To use one service over the other, either turn off the built-in answering system or contact your provider to deactivate their voicemail service. Note: After reviewing new messages on the built-in system, the counter shows the number of old messages.

Set your built-in answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your provider’s voicemail is set to answer. For example, if voicemail answers after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. If your provider uses seconds instead of rings, allow about six seconds per ring to determine the setting (e.g., if voicemail answers after 30 seconds (5 rings), set your system to 3 rings (18 seconds)). This allows the second caller to leave a voicemail message if you are on a call or the answering system is busy recording another message. Contact your telephone service provider for instructions on programming your voicemail settings.

The system can record up to 99 messages, depending on length. Individual messages can be up to 1, 2, or 3 minutes long (based on setting), with a maximum total recording time of approximately 22 minutes. Messages remain until deleted.

• Low Memory: If less than three minutes recording time remain, it announces, “Less than three minutes to record.” before playback. “Rec mem low” displays in idle mode.
• Full Memory: Announces, “Memory is full,” before playback. “Rec mem full” displays in idle mode. You cannot turn the system on (if off) or record new messages until old ones are deleted. “Memory full” displays if trying to turn on via handset when memory is full.

The message counter on the base shows the number of stored messages (flashes for new messages).

The system provides voice prompts to guide you through setup procedures (like using the Voice Guide feature), message playback, remote access, and recording outgoing announcements.

If call screening is turned on, you can hear the caller leaving a message.

Your system supports up to 12 DECT 6.0 devices (handsets, headsets, speakerphones). Additional compatible handsets (like AT&T CL80067, CL80107, CL80117) or headsets/speakerphones can be purchased separately. Visit https://telephones.att.com/accessories for compatible devices. Each new device must be registered to the base. Handsets provided are pre-registered (HANDSET 1, etc.). Additional devices get sequential numbers (up to HANDSET 12).

To register a cordless handset:

1. Ensure the handset is out of the base/charger and shows “To register HS, see manual.”
2. Place the handset onto the telephone base cradle (not a charger).
3. The handset shows “Registering…. Please wait”. The base IN USE light turns on.
4. Once registered, the handset shows “HANDSET X Registered” (X is the number), beeps, and the IN USE light turns off.

If registration fails (shows “Registration failed” then “To register HS, see manual.”), try again from Step 1. It may take up to five minutes. Note: Cannot register if another system handset is in use. For headset/speakerphone registration, refer to their manuals.

Deregister if you have 12 devices and need to replace one, or wish to change handset numbers. You must deregister ALL devices, then re-register the ones you want to use. This also deregisters headsets/speakerphones.

1. Ensure ALL handsets are out of the base and chargers.
2. Press and hold FIND HS on the telephone base for about 10 seconds, until the IN USE light starts flashing.
3. Release FIND HS.
4. Immediately press FIND HS again while the light is still flashing. (If it stops flashing, start over from step 2).
