Important safety instructions
If this product has user-replaceable batteries, replace bat-
teries only as described in your user’s manual. Do not burn
or puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.
If this product has a three-prong (grounding) plug or a
polarized plug with one wide prong, it may not fit in non-
polarized outlets. Do not defeat the purpose of these plugs. If
they do not fit in your outlet, the outlet should be replaced by
an electrician.
The power unit is intended to be correctly oriented in a ver-
tical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to
hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-
table or cabinet outlet.
CAUTION: Use only the power adapter provided with this product. To
obtain a replacement, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com or call
1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
Especially about cordless telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone con-
venient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmit-
ted between the base and the handset by radio waves, so
there is a possibility that your cordless phone conversations
could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range
of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think
of cordless phone conversations as being as private as
those on corded phones.
Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless tel-
ephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The
electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch.
Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone
base is unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power
is interrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate
at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs.
To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the
telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a
TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce
or eliminate the interference.
