Important Information

E911 Service

911 services are supported just as they are on any wireless device. You should
expect to provide your location address to the emergency response center
responsible for sending first responders (e.g., police, medical assistance, or fire)
to your location.

Power Outages

The AT&T Home Base has a back-up battery with talk time of up to 100 minutes
depending on environmental factors. Please note you'll need a standard corded
phone that doesn't require external power to function with the back-up battery for
all calling, including 911.
The AT&T Home Base will disable Wi-Fi to conserve power while using the back-
up battery when there are no devices connected. To re-enable Wi-Fi while using
the back-up battery, press the On/Off button for one (1) second. Or, if power is
available, plug the AT&T Home Base into an electrical wall outlet.
If you experience a power outage and your battery is fully depleted, it will be
necessary to restart your device when power is restored by pressing and holding
the On/Off button for three (3) seconds until the power light stays steady green.

Device Compatibility

The AT&T Home Base is not compatible with messaging services (including text
messaging and multimedia messaging services), and other services including but
not limited to home security systems, fax service, medical alert systems, medical
monitoring systems, credit card machines, IP/PBX Phone systems, or dial-up
Internet service. It may not be compatible with your home answering machines,
DVR systems, and Satellite systems (please check with your service provider).

In-Home Wiring

Interconnecting to home telephone wiring is not necessary, but is possible;
however, it is not recommended unless you possess sufficient knowledge of
electrical systems. Use with home wiring requires the physical disconnection from
other services, including the landline coming into your home. Use of a qualified
licensed electrician is highly recommended. Improper installation may result in
phone equipment damage or even a fire.
