Battery installation & charging

After battery installation, the battery may have enough charge to allow for some
calls. For best performance, place the handset(s) in the telephone base or charger(s)
and allow to charge for 16 hours before use.
You can keep the battery charged by returning the handsets to the telephone base
or chargers after each use. When the battery is fully depleted, a recharge takes
about 12 hours. The average talk time on a fully charged battery is about eight hours
depending on environmental conditions, and the standby time is approximately three
days. Actual battery life will depend on usage conditions and age of battery.

Getting started

Choose a location for your telephone

Choose a central location close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not con­nected to a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface or
mounted on a standard wall plate. For optimum range and better reception, place
the telephone base in a high and open location.

Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:

• Communication devices such as: personal computers, computer routers,
television sets, VCRs, wireless routers (wireless broadband, wi-fi, or 802.11)
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 temperatures.

• Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of the washing machine or
work bench.

1. Plug one end of the telephone

line cord into the telephone jack
at the bottom of the telephone
base.

Canada dial 1 [phone]. Or visit our website at www.telephones.att.com.

2. Be sure to use an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

3. This power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position.

4. If you receive high speed internet through your telephone line (commonly referred to as DSL), and
you are experiencing interference during telephone conversations and/or your caller ID features
are not functioning properly, install a DSL filter to the telephone line between the telephone
base and the telephone wall jack. Contact your DSL service provider for a DSL filter.
