Data port & optional headset
If  you  want  to  connect  another  device  (such  as  a  modem  or  fax  machine)  to 
the  wall  jack,  use  the  jack  labeled L2  or  DATA  on  the  back  of  the  telephone 
base. A call picked up at another extension on the line used by the data port 
may interrupt a fax, modem or message transmission.
Data port
For  hands-free  telephone  conversations,  use  any  industry  standard  2.5  mm  head-
set (purchased separately). For best results, use an AT&T 2.5 mm headset. To order 
an  AT&T  2.5  mm  headset,  visit  our  website  at www.telephones.att.com or  call  
1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
Plug  2.5  mm  headset  into 
the  jack  on  the  right  side 
of  the  telephone  base 
(beneath  the  small  rubber 
flap).
NOTES:
• If  the  sound  quality  of  the  headset  is  unsatis-
factory, try unplugging it, and firmly plugging it 
in again.
•
 
Four AA alkaline batteries (purchased separate
-
ly)  must  be  installed  in  the  telephone  base  for 
the headset to work correctly in all conditions.
