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

See pages 6 and 7 for easy
instructions.

Install the telephone base close to a telephone wall jack and an electrical
outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a
flat surface or vertically mounted on the wall (page 8). For optimum range and
better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line)
through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (page 5). 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 [phone]. In Canada, dial
1 [phone].

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 a washing machine or

•
work bench.

Home area code

your area code into the telephone as the home area code. When you receive
a call from within your home area code, the caller ID history only displays the

This feature makes it easy for you to place a call from the caller ID log. If you
