Registration and de-registration
Adding and registering headset
Your telephone can accommodate up to two cordless headsets.
You can add a new headset (TL7600, sold separately) to the
TL7610/TL7611 at any time, but each new headset must be
registered with the headset base before use.
The first headset provided with your TL7610/TL7611/TL7650/
TL7651 will have a blue ON/OFF light. When you register a
second headset, the ON/OFF light of the headset will be orange
to help you to tell the headsets apart.
You cannot register a headset if another system headset is in use.
The headset can only be registered to one product at a time, so
the headset must be unregistered before registering to a headset
base or cordless phone.
You can register the headset to a compatible DECT 6.0 AT&T
cordless phone. However, you must de-register the headset
from the headset base first (see page 32). Then register the
headset to the cordless phone. For registration instructions, go to
www.telephones.att.com to read and/or download the
TL7600 expansion headset manual.

In Canada dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
Especially about cordless headsets
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless headset con-
venient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmit-
ted between the headset base and the headset by radio waves,
so there is a possibility that your cordless headset conversa-
tions could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within
range of the cordless headset. For this reason, you should
not think of cordless headset conversations as being as
private as those on corded telephones.
Electrical power: The headset base of this cordless headset
must be connected to a working electrical outlet which is not
controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the
headset if the headset base is unplugged or switched off, or
if the electrical power is interrupted.
Potential TV interference: Some cordless headsets operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the head-
set base of the cordless headset near or on top of a TV or VCR.
If interference is experienced, moving the cordless headset
farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate

interference between portable cordless telephones and implanted
cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:
PACEMAKER PATIENTS
Should keep cordless telephones at least six inches from the
pacemaker.
Should NOT place cordless telephones directly over the pace-
maker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON.
Should use the cordless telephone at the ear opposite the pace-
maker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pace-
makers from other persons using cordless telephones.
