for easy instructions.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (Digital Subscriber Line - DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack (see page 6). The filter will prevent 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.

Getting started

Additional handsets (optional)

Add new handsets to make your telephone more versatile (see page 68)

Your telephone can accommodate up to four cordless handsets. You can add new handsets (model TL77008, sold separately) anytime, but each must be registered with the telephone base before use.

The handset provided with your TL74108 is automatically registered as handset 1. You can register three additional handsets. Additional handsets will be assigned numbers in the order they are registered (handset 2, handset 3, and handset 4).

The TL74208/TL74258 has two handsets automatically registered as handset 1 and handset 2. You can register two additional handsets, which will be assigned as handset 3 and handset 4.

The TL74308/TL74358 has three handsets automatically registered as handset 1, handset 2 and handset 3. You can register one additional handset, which will be assigned as handset 4.

The TL74408/TL74458 has four pre-registered handsets, so you cannot register any additional handset to it.

Backup battery installation and use (not included)

In the event of a power failure, your telephone can still operate with limited functions if there are backup batteries (purchased separately) installed in the telephone base. If a power failure happens during a call on the corded

handset, the call will continue (at the lowest volume) until you hang up; while a call on the cordless handset or speakerphone will disconnect immediately.

During a power failure, you can still make and answer calls using the corded handset. However, you cannot make or answer calls on the cordless handset or speakerphone.

If power resumes while you are on a call, it will continue and the telephone will reset once you hang up.

Follow the steps below to install backup batteries.

1.Make sure no line cord is connected to the telephone base.

2.Press the tab on the base battery cover (on the bottom of the telephone base) toward the cover and swing open the battery door.
