Getting started

Installation

You must install and charge the battery before using the telephone.
Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface or vertically mounted on the wall (pages 21-22). For optimum range and better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (pages 11-12). 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
STOP!
www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111.
dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
Avoid placing the telephone base and chargers too close to:
• Communication devices such as television sets, VCRs, or other cordless telephones.
• Excessive heat sources.
Noise sources such as a window with trac outside, motors, microwave
ovens, refrigerators, or uorescent lighting.
• Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
• Excessive moisture.
• Extremely low temperature.
• Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of a washing machine or workbench.
