Getting started
Installation
You must install and charge the battery before using the cordless handset.
See pages 7 and 8 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 (page 9-10). 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.

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.

QUIET mode

When QUIET mode is turned on, the telephone silences all sounds during the set period of time (1-12 hours). However, the handset locator 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:
1. Press and hold QUIET # in idle mode to enter the QUIET mode setting
screen. The screen shows Quiet: _ _ hours [1-12].
2. Use the dialing keys to enter the desired number of hours (1-12) you
would like to turn on QUIET mode, then press MENU/SELECT. Your screen briefly shows Quiet mode on.
To turn QUIET mode off:
While QUIET mode is on, press and hold QUIET #. The screen then 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.
