Caller ID and call waiting 
The caller ID with call waiting features 

in this telephone let you see who's 

calling before answering the telephone, 

even when 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 23 

for more details about how these fea-

tures work.

 

Batteries for cordless handset
Use only the supplied rechargeable 
batteries or AT&T replacement battery 

model 330 (SKU 9076. Part number 

80-507-00-00).

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 can 

communicate over only a certain dis-
tance - which can vary with the loca-

tions of the telephone base 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 

 is pressed. 

Move closer to the telephone base, 
then press   

 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.
If you move out of range without 

pressing 

, your telephone 

will be left off the hook and the line 

will be busy.  To hang up properly, walk 

back toward the telephone base while 
periodically pressing 

 until 

the call is disconnected. 
If you experience noise or interference 

while on a call, press the 

 button 

until a clearer channel is selected.
