Installation

You must install and charge the handset battery before using the cordless handset.

See pages 10-11 for easy instructions.

Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base should be placed on a flat surface. For optimum range and better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.

You may hear interference if your cellular phone is too close to the telephone base during a CELLULAR call. Make sure that your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone is within 15 feet of the telephone base in order to maintain a clear and consistent connection between your Bluetooth cell phone, telephone base and cell tower.

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 (page 8). 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

www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.

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.
