Installation

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

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 (digital subscriber line - DSL) 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 the washing machine or workbench.
