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.

E911 Service
For emergency calls, you may have to provide your location address to the 911
operator.
Power Outages
The AT&T Home Base has a back-up battery in the event of a power outage, with
talk time of up to 100 minutes depending on environmental factors. 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.
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 wireless messaging services, 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 DVR/Satellite systems; please check with your provider.
DSL customers should contact their provider before transferring a phone number
to ensure uninterrupted DSL Internet service.
The AT&T Home Base cannot be used to make 500, 700, 900, 976, 0+ collect,
operator-assisted, or dial-around calls (e.g. 1010-XXXX).
