How It Works
The AT&T Home Base uses the AT&T cellular network to provide phone service to
your cordless or corded home phone(s) and Internet access to your computer
and Wi-Fi enabled devices. Place it anywhere in your home where you have a
strong wireless signal. It does not require the use of a home phone wall jack like
traditional home phone service.
The AT&T Home Base provides many calling services, such as voicemail, Caller
Number ID, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, and Three-way Calling for your home
phone(s). It also includes a back-up battery in case of a power outage.
Device Installation
Before You Begin
The AT&T Home Base works exclusively with the AT&T
cellular network and DOES
NOT use your home phone wall jacks.
Your device should be located:
• Where you have a strong signal from a cell
tower, typically near a window or outside
wall. Signal strength may vary in different
parts of your home.
• Near an electrical wall outlet.
• In the general area where you’ll be using
your home phone, computer, or Wi-Fi enabled devices.
Select which phone and computer/Wi-Fi
enabled
device you will use with the
AT&T Home Base:
• A cordless phone system with multiple handsets should be used to place
phones throughout your home.
• If using an existing phone, unplug it from the wall jack.
• For Internet access, you may connect up to 10 devices via Wi-Fi and one
via Ethernet simultaneously.

3. Replace the cover.
NOTES:
• The back-up battery is intended for backup purposes only and may take
approximately eighteen (18) hours to fully charge.
• Charge time may be impacted by environmental factors and the back-
up battery will stop charging when the ambient temperature is outside of
the temperature range allowed for charging (32°F - 131°F).

Helpful Tips
Home Answering Machines
If you choose to use your home answering machine instead of the voicemail
provided by your AT&T Home Base, you will need to set your answering machine
to pick up calls before network voicemail, which is fewer than four (4) rings. If you
have a standalone answering machine, you can connect it to the “Phone 2” port on
the back of your AT&T Home Base.
20
Alternatively, 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. Alternatively, the volume
of the AT&T Home Base can be adjusted. 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 solid green, if connected to a power supply (it
will blink green if on back-up battery). To turn off your AT&T Home Base, press and
hold the On/Off button for three (3) seconds until all the lights turn off.
TTY Support
TTY (Text Telephony) and TDD (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) are
supported by the AT&T Home Base. In order to use the TTY network, you must
have a TTY-compatible phone and be in TTY mode. Note that most digital wireless
devices are TTY-compatible.
Dial *983*889*n# to set the TTY mode.
• n = 0: TTY off mode. The standard voice speaking mode and listening mode.
This is the default setting.
• n = 1: TTY full mode. Transmit and receive the TTY characters.
• n = 2:
VCO mode. Receive TTY characters but transmit by speaking into the
speaker.
• n = 3:
HCO mode. Transmit TTY characters but receive by listening to the re
ceiver.
21
To test the condition of your back-up battery, make sure the AT&T Home Base
is powered on. Unplug the AT&T Home Base from the wall power outlet. If the
Power LED immediately starts blinking red, then the back-up battery may need
to be replaced. If the AT&T Home Base does not remain on (no LEDs are lit)
once unplugged from the wall power outlet, then the back-up battery needs to
be replaced.
It is recommended that you test your back-up battery charge at least once per
year and replace if necessary.
To order a replacement back-up battery and for cost and warranty information,
visit att.com and search Home Base battery.
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).
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.
23
22
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 approximately 100 minutes and standby time of approximately
18 hours depending on environmental factors. In the event of a power outage
(commercial power no longer being available), the AT&T Home Base will
automatically begin using the back-up battery, provided there is sufficient battery
charge left. If there is no battery charge at the time of the power outage, the device
will not be operable.
To make calls using your back-up battery, you must plug a corded phone or
landline phone into the “Phone 1” or “Phone 2” port on the AT&T Home Base.
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 back-up 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 solid green.
Back-up Battery
A new back-up battery should last for approximately 5 years, but the life of
any back-up battery can be adversely affected by environmental conditions
like moisture and heat. To get the longest service from your back-up battery,
do not place the AT&T Home Base in direct sunlight or in wet or extremely
cold environments.
Important Information
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of phone do I need to work with the AT&T Home Base?
Most standard touch-tone phones may be used. Rotary phones are not
supported. Cordless phone systems provide the most flexibility and allow you to
easily place additional handsets throughout your home. Cordless phone systems
still need to be plugged into a power outlet. A standard corded phone can be used
if you just need one phone in your home.
During a power outage, a standard corded phone which doesn’t require electrical
power is needed.
How do I install my AT&T Home Base?
Refer to pages 4-10 of this guide for the most common installation methods.
Other helpful information:
• Installation near a window or outside wall is strongly recommended to ensure the
strongest possible wireless signal in order to maximize voice/data performance.
• If the AT&T Home Base signal strength indicator does not display high signal
strength (Green) or voice/data performance is unacceptable, you may need to
relocate the device to another part of the home with a stronger wireless signal.
Will my AT&T Home Base work in areas with no or low wireless signal strength?
A strong wireless signal (Green) is recommended for optimal performance.
A moderate signal (Yellow) may be sufficient. If you do not see a green light, you
may want to choose an alternate location.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.*
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching
FCC ID: Q78-Z700.
* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with
the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device
is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
50
FCC Regulations
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
