Installation preparation
If you subscribe to high speed Internet service (DSL – digital subscriber line) through your telephone line, you must
install a DSL filter between each telephone line cord and telephone wall jack (pages 3 and 4). 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 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.
Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:
Communication devices such as television sets, VCRs, or 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.
