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 (see page 7). 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 lines, you must install a DSL filter between the
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see the following page).
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 base display - remove it before use.
For customer service or product information, visit our website at
STOP!
See pages 5-6 for easy
instructions.
www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial

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.
