Installation preparation
You must install the power adapter before using the telephone.
See pages 6-7 for easy instructions.
If you subscribe to high speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between each telephone line cord and telephone wall jack (pages 6 and 7). 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 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 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.

If you dial seven digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter your area code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive a call from within your home area code, the caller ID history only displays the seven digits of the telephone number, and when you dial from the caller ID history, only seven digits are dialed.
This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID history. If you must dial 10 digits (area code + telephone number) to make a local call, do not program the home area code. Then, if you receive a call from within your area code, the screen displays the 10 digits of the telephone number, and when you dial from the caller ID history, all 10 digits will be dialed.
