AT&T E5811 - Manual (Page 2)

Choose a central location close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not
connected to a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat sur-
face or mounted on a standard wall plate. For optimum range and better
reception, place the telephone base in a high and open location.
Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:
• Communication devices such as: personal computers, computer routers, tel-
evision sets, VCRs, wireless routers (wireless broadband, wi-fi, or 802.11) or
other cordless telephones.
• Excessive heat sources.
• Noise sources such as a window with traffic outside, motors, microwave ovens,
refrigerators, or fluorescent lighting.
• Excessive dust sources such as a workshop or garage.
• Excessive moisture.
• Extremely low temperature.
• Mechanical vibration or shock such as on top of the washing machine or
work bench.
Battery installation & charging
After installing the battery, you may be able to make or receive short calls. For
best performance, place the handset in the telephone base to charge for 16
hours before use.
You can keep the battery charged by returning the handset to the telephone
base after use. When the battery is fully depleted, a recharge takes about 12
hours. The average talk time on a fully charged battery is about five hours, and
the standby time is approximately six days. Actual battery life depends on usage
conditions and age of battery.
1. Insert the plug as indicated. Be sure to
securely insert the plug, making sure that
it matches the color-coded label inside the
battery compartment.
2. Place the battery and wires inside the com-
partment.
3. Slide the battery compartment cover up until
it clicks.
NOTE: Under normal conditions, the bat-
tery should last around one year. This may vary
depending on usage.
