Battery Pack for Cordless Handset Use only the supplied rechargeable battery pack or AT&T replacement battery model 3301 (SKU 91076. Part Number 80-5071-00-00). 5 Telephone Operating Range The cordless telephone handset operates with the maximum power allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This cordless handset and the telephone base unit can communicate over only a certain distance - which can vary with the locations of the base unit 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 PHONE is pressed. Move closer to the base, then press PHONE to answer the call. If you move out of range during a telephone conversation, you might hear noise or interference from the cordless handset. To improve reception, move closer to the telephone base unit. If you move out of range without pressing OFF, your telephone will be left "off the hook" and the line will be busy. To hang up properly, walk back toward the telephone base unit while periodically pressing OFF until the call is disconnected. If you experience noise or interference while on a call, press the CHAN button until you find a clearer channel. Getting Started Telephone base installation Install the telephone base as shown below.
