If you did not provide an email address for email notifications when you purchased
your AT&T Home Base, you can do so at att.com/myatt. Once you have logged
on to your account, go to Profile and enter a valid email address. You will receive
email notifications when you are approaching your data plan limit or if you have
exceeded your data plan limit. If you have a limited voice plan, you will also receive
notifications as you are approaching your voice plan limit or if you have exceeded
your voice plan limit.
You can also use the AT&T Home Base Manager to check your data plan usage
and view data usage notifications. On any device that is connected to your AT&T
Home Base, enter http://att.homebase directly into your browser address field.
Log in using "attadmin" (or your customized login). To check your data usage
and the days remaining in your billing cycle, go to Data Used. To view data usage
notifications, go to Messages. The "i" light on your AT&T Home Base will blink green
when you have a new notification.

Home Answering Machines

If you choose not to use the voicemail provided by your AT&T Home Base, you can
use your home answering machine by plugging it into the "Phone 2" port on the
back of your AT&T Home Base.
Then, set your answering machine to pick up calls in fewer than five (5) rings.
Alternately, you can call AT&T Customer Service at 1-800-331-0500 to turn off the
network voicemail feature.

Adjusting Volume
Use your home phone's volume adjustment if available. Alternately, the volume of
the AT&T Home Base can be adjusted if necessary. Six volume levels are available
(level 1 to level 6) with the default setting at level 3. While on a call, press ** to
decrease volume or press ## to increase volume. Each time ** or ## is pressed,
the volume level is decreased or increased one volume level.
To exit Volume Setting Mode, press any other key or wait five (5) seconds.
Powering On/Off
The On/Off button is used to turn your AT&T Home Base on or off. When powered off,
the AT&T Home Base will no longer send or receive calls, but it will continue to charge
the back-up battery if still connected to the wall outlet.
To turn on your AT&T Home Base, press and hold the On/Off button for three (3)
seconds until the power light stays steady green, if connected to a power supply (it
