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

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

• 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.
