Wireless Home Phone (“WHP”) device is a mobile device that may be used with home phone equipment in different locations in the
U.S. WHP device has a backup battery in the event of a power outage. However, a landline phone requiring separate electric power to
operate (e.g., cordless phones) connected to a WHP device will not place or receive calls (including 911 calls) during a power outage.
For emergency calls, you may have to provide your location address to the 911 operator. Landline home phone equipment is not
included. Provides voice service only. Not compatible with data or 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

Getting to Know Your Device
For more detailed information on Light Indicators, please refer to the User Guide.
Before You Begin
The Wireless Home Phone base uses 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.
Transferring a Phone Number from a Prior Provider?
It may take up to 5 days to transfer your number to the Wireless Home Phone base.
You must keep a phone plugged into your wall jack to receive calls on your old service
until your transfer completes. However, you can make calls immediately on your Wireless
Home Phone base. Check transfer status at att.com/port.
