How It Works
The Wireless Home Phone device uses the AT&T cellular 
network to provide phone service to your cordless or corded 
home phone(s). Place it anywhere in your house where you 
have a wireless signal. It does not require the use of a home 
phone wall jack like traditional home phone service.
The Wireless Home Phone device provides many calling 
services, such as voicemail, Caller Number ID, Call Waiting, 
Call Forwarding, and Three-way Calling for your home 
phone(s). 
Device Installation
Before You Begin
Your device 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 cellular signal, typically near a 
window or outside wall. Signal strength may vary in different 
parts of your home.
•   Near an electrical wall outlet.
Select which phone(s) you will use with the Wireless Home 
Phone device:
•   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.

Wireless Home Phone device to operate.

NOTES:
•  
The battery must be installed at all times for your  
Wireless Home Phone device to operate properly, even 
when plugged into a power source. It may take five (5) hours 
to fully charge (battery will charge inside the device while 
connected to a power supply).
•  Charge time may be impacted by environmental factors,  
and the battery will stop charging when the ambient 
temperature is outside of the temperature range allowed  
for charging (32 °F – 131 °F).
