Getting started

Installation

Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base should be placed on a flat surface. 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 lines, you must install a DSL filter between each telephone line cord and telephone wall jack (page 7). 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 telephone base and handset displays - remove them 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 the washing machine or work bench.

Getting started

Planning your system

The SynJ SB67138 package includes one telephone base and one cordless handset (already registered). The included cordless handset has been assigned extension number 1. The system supports a maximum of four external lines, which are provided by your telephone service provider.

You can expand the system by adding a combination of up to 10 additional cordless handsets (AT&T model SynJ SB67108), desksets (AT&T model SynJ SB67148), and one cordless headset (AT&T model TL7600). The system automatically assigns an extension number to each device you add.

You can use a DECT 6.0 repeater (AT&T model SynJ SB67128) to extend the operating range for cordless handsets to cover areas where the signal is very weak or not available.

NOTES:

1.If you have two or three telephone lines, you will need one two-line adapter for every two lines. If you have four telephone lines, you will need two two-line adapters.

2.If your establishment has four telephone lines from one-line telephone jacks, you will need to purchase a telephone line cord (purchased at an electronics store in your area) or equivalent for each two-line adapter.

3.If you have high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line), you need to have an external or internal DSL splitter for each telephone line installed at your location by your DSL provider.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

For complete instructions on using the accessory cordless handset or headset, please refer to the appropriate manual.

Purchase any desired accessories:

•Cordless handsets (AT&T model SynJ SB67108)

•DECT 6.0 expansion desksets (AT&T model SynJ SB67148)

•Cordless headset (AT&T model TL7600)

•DECT 6.0 repeater (AT&T model SynJ SB67128)

•Additional telephone line cords

To order these accessories or to view the manuals, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com, or call 1 [phone]. In Canada, dial 1 [phone].

Getting started

Telephone base installation

To connect the corded handset and power adapter to the telephone base

Plug the end of the coiled handset cord into the HANDSET jack on the left side of the telephone.

Plug the small end of the power adapter into the power jack at the bottom of the telephone base. Route the power adapter cord through the slot on the bottom of the telephone.

NOTE: For complete instructions on installing the cordless handset, see Add and register handsets on page 10 of this user’s manual, refer to the SynJ SB67108 user’s manual.

Getting started

Add and register a cordless headset

You can use this phone handsfree when you register a DECT 6.0 cordless headset (AT&T model TL7600, sold separately)

to the telephone base. You can only register one cordless headset to the telephone base. The cordless headset must have a charged battery. Make sure the headset battery is properly installed.

Place the headset in the headset charger and note the color of the ON/OFF button. If the button flashes a blue and

orange light twice every five seconds, the headset is unregistered. If the button shows a constant blue light, the headset is registered. You need to deregister the headset before you can register it to the SynJ SB67138. See the deregistration instructions in the user’s manual of the telephone to which it is currently registered. See page 81 for instructions on using the cordless headset with this telephone.

To register a cordless headset to your telephone base

1.	Place the headset in the headset charger and allow
	it to charge for at least five minutes before beginning
	registration. Make sure the headset is out of the headset
	charger before you begin registration.
2.	On the telephone base, press MENU/ENTER.
3.	Scroll down to Registration and press MENU/ENTER.
4.	Press MENU/ENTER again to select Register HS. The
	telephone base shows Registering new device... It takes
	up to 60 seconds to complete the registration.

the telephone base, the registration was successful.

If there is no dial tone, or the ON/OFF light on the headset flashes twice every five seconds, the registration was not successful. Remove the headset from the headset charger and repeat the registration process again, starting with Step 2 above.

If you have a dial tone but an extension number other than 0 displays on the telephone base, the headset is registered as a handset and will not function properly. If this is the case, you must deregister and start over. See Deregister devices on the next page.
