Installation

	You must install and	STOP!	See pages 6-7 for
	charge the battery before
			easy instructions.
	using the telephone.

Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat

surface or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 8). 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 (see the following page). 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 [phone]. In Canada, dial 1 [phone].

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 a washing machine or workbench.

Getting started

Telephone base and charger installation

Install the telephone base and charger as shown below.

The telephone base is ready for tabletop use. If you want to change to wall mounting, see Installation options on page 8 for details.

Telephone base installation

•Plug the other end of the telephone line cord into a telephone jack or a DSL filter.

•Raise the antenna.

Telephone line cord

If you have DSL high-speed Internet service, a DSL filter (not included) is required.

•Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the telephone jack on the back of the

telephone base.

• Plug the small end of the telephone base power adapter into the power adapter jack

on the back of the telephone base.

•Route the power adapter cord and the telephone line cord through this slot.

• Plug the large end of the power adapter into a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

Charger installation

Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1.Use only the power adapter(s) supplied with this product. To order a replacement power adapter, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com or call

1 [phone]. In Canada, dial 1 [phone].

2.The power adapters are intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.

Getting started

Battery installation and charging

Install the battery as shown below. Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see the table below). If necessary, place the handset in the telephone base or charger to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the telephone base or charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 10 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 79 for battery operating times.

If the screen shows Place in charger and flashes, you need to charge the handset without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone for a short time. The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.

Caller ID announce

The caller ID announce feature lets you know who’s calling without having to look at the display. When you have an incoming call, the handset and/or base speaks “Call from...” and the name of the caller based on the directory or caller ID information. If the caller’s name is private or unknown, the phone number up to the last 11 digits will be spoken. If the caller’s phone number is also private or unknown, no information will be spoken. By default, the caller ID announce feature is programmed On.

To turn on/off the caller ID announce on your handset or base:

1.Press MENU/SELECT in idle mode to enter the main menu.

2.Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Settings, then press

MENU/SELECT.

3.Use qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Caller ID annc, then press MENU/SELECT.

•This feature does not announce information for call waiting calls.

•It takes at least 2 rings for the phone to receive caller ID information and announce it. If the phone is answered before the end of the second ring, the phone won’t have time to announce the caller’s information.

•Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be pronounced correctly.

•Caller ID announce is available in English only.
