Introduction
The TL7910 is a cordless headset and base that allows you to
have handsfree phone conversations. It can be used in different
ways depending on your needs. Choose from the following three
options. Connect your TL7910:
To a telephone line only (page 12). Connect the headset to a
telephone wall jack. Use the telephones on the same telephone
line to make or answer calls. The headset is a supplementary
device that can join the calls.
To a traditional corded telephone (pages 13-14). Connect
the headset to a corded telephone. If you also install a
lifter (AT&T TL7100, purchased separately) on your corded
telephone, you can use the headset to remotely control the
lifter for answering or hanging up a call.
To both a PC and telephone line (pages 15-17). Connect
a phone line to the headset base and the USB cable to
your PC. You can make and answer VoIP calls through
Skype or Microsoft Lync, or landline calls using the
AT&T Softphone Call Manager. You can also use the voice
command feature to make or answer calls after you have
installed the AT&T Softphone Call Manager.
Install the AT&T Softphone Call Manager using the
CD-ROM provided in the package.

Adding and registering headsets
Registration options
The TL7910 headset comes pre-registered to the headset base.
There are two registration options as described below.
Option 1: If you have previously deregistered your TL7910
headset from the headset base and want to register
it back to the same base or another TL7910 headset
base, see page 35.
Option 2: You can deregister your TL7910 headset (see page
38) and then register it to an AT&T DECT 6.0 cordless
telephone (see pages 36-37). You can register a
maximum of two headsets (TL7910) to a cordless
telephone. The telephone base recognizes and counts
a headset the same as a handset. When you register
the headset to an AT&T DECT 6.0 cordless telephone,
the headset base acts only as a charger for the
headset. The CORDED HANDSET CONNECTED switch,
VOLUME and mode controls on the headset base
become inactive. You can place the headset base
anywhere you have an available power outlet. Do not
plug in the telephone line cord; you only need to plug
the headset base into a power outlet.
Refer to your telephone user’s manual for the maximum
number of handsets/headsets that you can register to
the telephone base. If you have the maximum number
of handsets/headsets registered, you need to follow
the deregistration information in your user’s manual.
Visit www.telephones.att.com/headsets for
a complete list of AT&T phones that have been tested
and found to be compatible with the TL7910.
You can only register the headset to one product at a time, so
the headset must be deregistered before it can be registered to
a headset base or a cordless telephone (see page 38).

Maintenance
Taking care of your headset
Your cordless headset contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be
treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment.
Place the headset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect
your headset if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your headset can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the headset outdoors
in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the headset base near a
sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electrical appliances
during storms.
Cleaning your headset
Your headset has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many
years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap.
Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when
you are wet or standing in water. If the headset base should fall into water,
DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE
LINE CORD FROM THE WALL. Pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

Important safety information
This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions
that may appear in this user’s manual. Always follow basic safety
precautions when using this product to reduce the risk of injury, fire, or
electric shock.
Safety information
Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all
markings on the product.
Avoid using a headset during a thunderstorm. There may be a slight chance
of electric shock from lightning.
Do not use the headset to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. Under
certain circumstances, a spark may be created when the adapter is plugged into
the power outlet, or when the headset is replaced in its cradle. This is a common
event associated with the closing of any electrical circuit. The user should
not plug the headset base into a power outlet, and should not put a charged
headset into the cradle, if the headset base is located in an environment
containing concentrations of flammable or flame-supporting gases, unless
there is adequate ventilation. A spark in such an environment could create a fire
or explosion. Such environments might include: medical use of oxygen without
adequate ventilation; industrial gases (cleaning solvents; gasoline vapors; etc.); a
leak of natural gas; etc.
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do
not use it in a wet basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub. Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning.
If the product comes in contact with any liquids, unplug any line or power cord
immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it has dried thoroughly.
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any
line or power cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
If this product does not operate normally, see the Troubleshooting section
on pages 39-45 of this user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if
the product is damaged, refer to thethe Limited warranty section on
pages 53-55. Do not open this product except as may be directed in your
user’s manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may expose
you to hazardous voltage or other risks.
Replace batteries only as described in your user’s manual (page 9). Do not
burn or puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.

www.telephones.att.com or call
1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
Especially about cordless headsets
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless headset convenient create
some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the headset base and
the headset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless headset
conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range
of the cordless headset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless
headset conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.
Electrical power: The headset base of this cordless headset must be
connected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall
switch. Calls cannot be made from the headset if the headset base is
unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless headsets operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, do not place the headset base of the cordless headset near or
on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless
headset farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
Rechargeable batteries: This product contains lithium-ion rechargeable
batteries. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short
circuit with conductive material such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery
or conductor may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between
the battery and the battery charger.
Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe
manner. Do not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or
punctured, they could release caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily
participating in an industry program to collect and recycle
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries when taken out of service
within the United States. These batteries may be taken to a
participating local retailer of replacement batteries or recycling
center. You may call 1-800-8-BATTERY for locations accepting
spent Li-ion batteries.

Technical specifications
DECT 6.0 digital technology
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) 6.0 is a new frequency
band that transmits your voice across multiple channels. This technology provides
superior quality of voice and sound, high protection against wiretapping and better
range than 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz phone systems, while not interfering with wireless
routers.
Operating range
This cordless headset operates within the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this headset and headset base can
communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with the locations of the
headset base and headset, the weather, and the construction of your home or office.
Extended range and clarity
Experience the best in long-range coverage and clarity, provided by a unique
antenna design and advances in noise-filtering technology. The TL7910 is a fully
cordless DECT 6.0 headset offering a range of up to 500 feet. Open range test was
performed by Wyle Laboratories, an independent commercial test facility. “Up to
500 feet” cordless headset range refers to the maximum open field range. Actual
range may vary depending on intervening obstacles.
Sound level protection technology conforms to the current regulations and is used to
filter out the loud and high-pitched noises.
Encrypted for added security
The 64 bit encryption adds an extra layer of security between your TL7910
headset and TL7910 base to keep your conversations private.
