Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The telephone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for a new call. Each extension has an independent call log. Deleting the caller ID information on any one extension does not affect the caller ID information on other extensions.

It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number).

Appendix Troubleshooting If you have difficulty with your telephone, please try the suggestions below. For customer service, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (888) 915-2007. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268. My deskset doesn’t work at all. • Make sure the power cord is securely plugged in. • Make sure you plug the telephone line cord securely and firmly into the main telephone base and the telephone wall jack. • Reset the deskset. Unplug the electrical power.
Appendix Troubleshooting My deskset isn’t performing normally. • Make sure you plug the power cord securely into the deskset. Plug the power adapter into a different working electrical outlet without a wall switch. • Move the deskset closer to the main telephone base. You might have moved out of range. • Reset the deskset. Unplug the electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the deskset to reset.
Appendix Troubleshooting I get noise, static, or weak signals even when I’m near the main telephone base. • If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between each telephone line cord and telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems as a result of DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
