Wireless Home Phone
LG-AF300
Wireless Home Phone (“WHP”) is a mobile device designed to provide service consistent with other AT&T wireless devices. 911 calls are routed based on the wireless network’s automatic location technology. For emergency calls, you may have to provide your location address to the 911 operator. WHP device has a backup battery in the event of a power outage. However, a landline phone requiring separate electric power to operate (e.g., cordless phones) connected to a WHP device will not place or receive calls (including 911 calls) during a power outage. Corded/cordless landline home phone equipment is not included. WHP device provides voice service only. Not compatible with data or messaging services, and other services including but not limited to home security systems, fax service, medical alert systems, medical monitoring systems, credit card machines, IP/PBX Phone systems, or dial-up Internet service. May not be compatible with your DVR/Satellite systems, please check with your provider. DSL customers should contact their provider before transferring a phone number to ensure uninterrupted DSL Internet service. This device is sold for use on the AT&T wireless network and is not compatible with other wireless networks, except when used for roaming.

How It Works
Wireless Home Phone Base uses the AT&T cellular network to provide phone service to your corded or cordless home phone(s). Place it anywhere in your house where you have a wireless signal. It does not require the use of a home phone wall jack like traditional home phone service.
Wireless Home Phone Base provides many calling services, such as voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, and 3-way Calling for your corded or cordless home phone(s). It also includes a back-up battery in case of a power outage.
Device Installation
Before You Begin
Wireless Home Phone Base works exclusively with the AT&T cellular network and DOES NOT use your home phone wall jacks.
Your device should be located:
•Where you have a strong cellular signal from a cell tower, typically near a window or outside wall. Signal strength may vary in different parts of your home.
•Near an electrical wall outlet.
Select which phone(s) you will use with the Wireless Home Phone Base:
•A cordless phone system with multiple handsets should be used to place phones throughout your home.
•If using an existing phone, unplug it from the wall jack.
1. Install the Back-up Battery
Remove the back-up battery cover.
Insert the back-up battery into the back-up battery port.
During a power failure, the back-up battery enables voice calling using a standard corded phone that does not require external supplied power.
Notes:
•The back-up battery is intended for backup purposes only and may take approximately five (5) hours to fully charge.
•Charge time may be impacted by environmental factors and the back-up battery will stop charging when the ambient temperature is outside of the temperature range allowed for charging (32 °F - 131 °F).
•Remove the back-up battery if the device will be disconnected from AC power for 15 days or more to avoid possible damage.
Cautions for Battery
•Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.
•Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the
battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.
•Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified
•Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the System
per CTIA Certification Requirements for Battery System Compliance to IEEE1725. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
•Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals.
•Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the
system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.
•Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations
•Battery usage by children should be supervised.
