You must install and charge the battery before using the cordless handset.

See pages 5 and 6 for easy instructions.

Install the telephone base close to a telephone wall jack and an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface or vertically mounted on the wall (page 7). 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 (page 4). 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 a protective sticker covering the handset or telephone base display - remove it before use.

For customer service or product information, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.

Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:

Communication devices such as: television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.

Excessive heat sources.

Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave ovens, refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.

Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.

Excessive moisture.

Extremely low temperature.

Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of the washing machine or work bench.

Changing the handset ringer volume does not affect the base ringer volume. For more information on the base ringer volume, see Telephone base ringer volume on page 15.

The handset ringer volume also determines the ringer volume of intercom calls (see Intercom on page 24).

If the handset ringer volume is set to off, that handset ringer is silenced for all incoming calls; however, that handset still plays the paging tone when you use the handset locator feature (see Handset locator on page 23).

While the telephone is ringing, press OFF/CLEAR or MUTE/DELETE to silence the ringer temporarily on that handset only (see Temporary ringer silencing on page 16).
