Installation

You must install and charge the battery before using the telephone.

See pages 6-7 for easy instructions.

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 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 wallmounting, see Installation options on page 8 for details.

Telephone base installation

•Plug the large end of the

telephone base power

adapter into a power outlet not controlled by

a wall switch.

•Route the power adapter cord and the telephone line cord through these slots.

•Raise the antenna.

Telephone

line cord

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

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

The DSL filter must be plugged into the telephone wall jack.

•Plug the other 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.

Charger installation

Plug the power adapter into a power 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 following table). 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 66 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.

With the home area code displayed, press and hold MUTE/DELETE until the digits are deleted, and then press MENU/SELECT. The home area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _ (empty).
