Tip 1 of 6

Confirm proper installation of the telephone base power supply, handset chargers (where applicable) and handset battery(s). You should only use the AT&T power supply(s) provided with your telephone. Confirm that the electrical outlet to which the power supply is plugged is working. Additionally, make sure the power supply is not connected to an electrical outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.

 

Tip 2 of 6

If your handset shows Out of range OR no power at the base in or out of a charger, move it closer to the base. If your handset is out of range, it will continue to try to connect to the base; causing the batteries to drain faster.

 

Tip 3 of 6

Static, noise, calls cutting in and out and other erratic performance may be caused by nearby electronic equipment and other cordless devices using the same frequency. In addition, police scanners and HAM radios can generate interference. Separate your telephone system from these devices as much as possible.

 

Tip 4 of 6

To get better reception, try moving the telephone base to higher location. Relocate telephone base near a window if using telephone outside.

 

Tip 5 of 6

Recradle the handset for 15 seconds, then try using it again.

 

Tip 6 of 6

If the phone is not responding normally, you may need to reset your telephone system. Complete the following steps to reset the telephone system:
Step 1: Disconnect the power to the telephone base.

Step 2: Disconnect the handset batteries.

Step 3: Wait a few minutes and then reconnect the power to the telephone base.

Step 4: Reconnect the handset batteries.

Step 5: Wait about one minute for the handsets to re-establish a link with the telephone base and then test the phone again.

NOTE: After resetting the telephone system, you will need to reset the clock. If the time is not set, you will hear Time and Day Not Set when you listen to messages.

NOTE: If you have caller ID service, the time will automatically be updated whenever caller ID information is delivered. However, since caller ID delivers the date, rather than the day, you must program the year once so the system can derive the day of the week.

To set the day and time, complete the following steps:

Step 1: Using a handset or the base, when the phone is not in use, press MENU.

Step 2: Press ▲DIR or ▼CID until you see Settings, then press SELECT.

Step 3: Press ▲DIR or ▼CID until you see Set date/time. Next, press SELECT.

Step 4: Date/time is displayed. Press SELECT.

Step 5: Press ▲DIR or ▼CID to select the month, then press SET; or use the dial pad to enter the month.

Step 6: Press ▲DIR or ▼CID to select the date, then press SET; or use the dial pad to enter the date.

Step 7: Press ▲DIR or ▼CID to select the year, or use the dial pad to enter the year; then press SET.

Step 8: Press ▲DIR or ▼CID to select the hour, then press SET; or use the dial pad to enter the hour.

Step 9: Press ▲DIR or ▼CID to select the minute, then press SET; or use the dial pad to enter the minute.

Step 10: Press ▲DIR or ▼CID to select AM or PM.

Step 11: Press SET. You will hear a confirmation beep.
