STOP!
You must install and charge
the battery before using the
cordless handset.
See pages 7-9
for easy instructions.
Install the telephone base close to a telephone wall jack and an electrical
outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on
a flat surface or vertically mounted on the wall (pages 10-12). 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 (page 6). 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 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial
1 (866) 288-4268.
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
work bench.

Wall-mount installation
The telephone base comes ready for tabletop use. If you want to mount your
telephone on a wall, use the provided wall-mount bracket to connect with
a standard dual-stud telephone wall-mounting plate. If you do not have this
mounting plate, you can purchase one from many hardware or consumer
electronics retailers. Professional assistance may be required to install the
mounting plate.
Tabletop to wall-mount installation
To change the telephone base from the tabletop installation to wall-mount
installation, make sure you first unplug the power adapter from the electrical
outlet and the telephone line cord from the telephone wall jack.
Plug the power cord and telephone line into the telephone base. If you
are using a DSL filter, plug the other end of the telephone line into the
filter. Route the telephone line cord (or DSL filter) through the wall-mount
bracket hole.
Position the telephone base, as shown below. Insert the extended tabs of
the wall-mount bracket into the slots on the back of the telephone base
(see illustration 2). Push the telephone base down until it is securely

Home area code
If you dial 7 digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter your
area code into the telephone as home area code. When you receive a call
from within your home area code, the caller ID log only displays the 7 digits
of the telephone number.
This feature makes it easy for you to make a call from the caller ID log. If you
dial 10 digits to make a local call, do not use this home area code feature.
If you do, you will not be able to place calls from your caller ID log because
they have only 7 digits.
Press MENU/SELECT when the handset is idle.
Press CID or DIR to scroll to Settings, then press
MENU/SELECT.
Press CID or DIR to scroll to Home area code, then
press MENU/SELECT.
Use the dialing keys to enter your 3-digit area code.
Press MUTE/DELETE to erase digits while editing.
Press MENU/SELECT to save the setting.
NOTE: If, in the future, your telephone service provider requires you to dial 10 digits to
make a local call (area code + telephone number), you need to delete your home area code.
While the home area code is displaying in Step 4, press and hold MUTE/DELETE. The home
area code is now restored to its default setting of _ _ _(empty). Press MENU/SELECT to save.

The dial mode is preset to tone dialing. If you have pulse (rotary) service, you
must change the dial mode to pulse dialing before using the telephone.

MENU/SELECT.
Press CID or DIR to scroll to Dial mode, then press
MENU/SELECT.
Press CID or DIR to choose between Touch-tone
and Pulse.

QUIET mode
When QUIET mode is turned on, the telephone silences all sounds during
the set period of time (1-12 hours). However, the find handset paging tone
and any sound-generating operations initiated by users, such as making
calls using the speakerphone or setting ringer volume, will sound as normal.
After you turn on QUIET mode, this feature activates immediately and the
answering system turns on automatically. When QUIET mode is on,
the answering system takes calls and records messages without
broadcasting them.
To turn QUIET mode on:
Press and hold QUIET in idle mode to enter the QUIET mode setting
screen. The screen shows Quiet: _ _ hours [1-12].

like to turn on QUIET mode, then press MENU/SELECT. Your screen shows
Quiet mode on.
To turn QUIET mode off:
While QUIET mode is on, press and hold QUIET . The screen shows
Quiet mode off briefly and then returns to idle.
NOTES:
If you change the base ringer, handset ringer, ringer volume, or key tone when QUIET mode
is on, the sample plays but the feature is still muted after saving the setting.
After QUIET mode is turned off or the set period of time has expired, all muted features will
be activated again.
When QUIET mode is on, the handset does not ring when there is an incoming intercom call,
but the handset which initiates the intercom call does have the calling tone as normal.
