AT&T Home Base™ ("Home Base") device is a mobile device designed to provide service consistent with other AT&T mobile wireless
devices. 911 calls function similar to the way they do on AT&T mobile wireless devices. For emergency calls, you may have to provide
your location address to the 911 operator. Home Base has a backup battery in the event of a power outage. However, a landline
phone requiring separate electric power to operate (e.g., cordless phones) connected to a Home Base will not place or receive calls
(including 911 calls) during a power outage. Corded/cordless landline home phone equipment and Internet-capable devices are not
included. 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. May not be compatible with your home answering machines and
DVR systems. May not be compatible with your Satellite systems; please check with your provider. DSL customers should contact
their provider before transferring a phone number to ensure uninterrupted DSL Internet service. Mobile broadband may be required
on the Home Base device.
