In tr od u ction
The AT&T MLC-6 cordless telephone is compatible with your
PARTNER™ Plus or PARTNER Communications System. It gives
you the freedom of a cordless phone while providing the same
features as a corded MLS™-model telephone.
The MLC-6 cordless phone is functionally similar to the MLS-6™
corded phone. The cordless phone can be programmed with
system features and dialing restrictions the same as any other
MLS-model phone.* For more information on how to program
the system, see the documentation provided with the system.
This booklet describes installation and troubleshooting procedures
for the MLC-6 cordless phone. Also included with the phone is a
card, Quick Reference: Display and Controls. After you have
installed your phone and understand its controls and displays,
follow call handling and programming instructions in Quick Refer-
ence for Users with MLS-Model Telephones to use the cordless
phone with your PARTNER Plus or PARTNER system. A supply of
Quick Reference cards is included with the system’s control unit.
P r iva cy In for m a tion
Commercial radio scanners can monitor voice conversations over
cordless phones. Privacy of communications cannot be guaran-
teed when using cordless telephones.
Au tom a tic Secu r ity Cod in g
Your cordless telephone is provided with a digital security code
that is automatically changed every time you place the handset in
the base unit for 10 seconds or more. This code prevents un-
authorized use of your line and will also prevent a user with an-
other cordless handset from dialing calls on your line. However,
the security code cannot prevent unauthorized monitoring of your
telephone conversations by commercial radio scanners or similar
devices.
*
System Password and Group Paging features are not available on the
MLC-6 cordless phone.

In sta lla tion
Im p or ta n t:
Before beginning installation, please read and understand
“Important Safety Instructions” and “Safety Instructions for
Installation Personnel” at the beginning of this booklet.
Be sure the base is unplugged before you begin.
P osition in g th e Ba se
The MLC-6 cordless phone uses radio transmissions to communi-
cate. Its range depends on your particular operating environment,
and can be improved by placing the base in an optimal location.
The base can be placed on a desk or table or mounted on a wall,
preferably one that is not made of metal.
Before you install the phone, note the following considerations
regarding its location and use:
■
■
■
Mount the base near the center of the area in which the hand-
set will be used, but at least 20 feet away from the control unit.
Install the base within 6 feet of a properly grounded 3-prong
electrical outlet that is not controlled by an on/off switch.
The base should not share the same power line or be within 6
feet of electromagnetic equipment such as electric motors, or
equipment with microprocessors such as answering machines,
personal computers, and fax machines.
■
■
If your phone system uses an uninterruptable power supply,
such as a backup generator, be sure to connect the base for
the cordless phone to that power supply.
If other people in your area also use cordless phones, assign
different channels for their phones to help prevent interference.
Using different channels will not prevent monitoring by radio
scanners and similar devices, however. To assign different
channels to each cordless phone, follow the instructions in
“Programming Channels (More Than One Cordless Phone).”
■
If more than one cordless phone is being used, do not place a
handset from one cordless phone into the base of another. If
this accidentally occurs, place each handset in the correct
base for at least 10 seconds.
9
The handset does not need to be located with the base except for
charging. For best coverage, place the base in a central location,
away from concentrations of structural metal such as steel and
aluminum or reinforced concrete. Use the handset at another desk
or while moving about your work location.
For indoor use, place the base so that walls do not block the base
from the area where the handset will be used. (See the figure
below.) Intervening walls will reduce the phone’s range.
Poor Base Location
(Indoor Use)
Optimum Base Location
(Indoor Use)
For outdoor use, place the base near a window facing the outdoor
area where the handset will be used. (See the figure below.) Do
not install the base where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Optimum Base Location
(Outdoor Use)
If you have questions about the installation of your cordless
telephone or the location of the base, refer to “Troubleshooting” or
call the AT&T Helpline at 1 800 628-2888.
10
In sta llin g th e Ba se
If desk mounting, skip step 1 and steps 3–6.
If wall mounting, remove the
four screws in the bottom of the
base. Turn the bottom of the base
180° as shown above, then screw it
back into place.
Plug one end of the modular
telephone cord into the jack on the
bottom of the base. Then route it
and the AC power cord along their
respective channels.
Reverse the handset hook.
Press the hook down and slide it up
out of its slot, then turn the hook
upside down and replace it in the
slot, with the top protruding so the
handset can hang from it.
Mark screw locations using
the Wall Mount Template on the
inside back cover of this booklet.
Choose a location backed by a
wooden stud. (If no wooden stud is
available, use toggle bolts instead
of the wood screws provided.)
11
Install mounting sleeves and
screws. Lightly tap a nail into marks
on wall to start holes. Then slip each
screw into a mounting sleeve (with
screw head in wider barrel of sleeve
and screw securely into wall.
Mount the base. Place the
base over the screws, than slide it
downward slightly to lock it into
place.
Plug power cord/adapter
into a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
Plug modular telephone cord
into a modular wall jack. (Alterna-
tively, you can plug the cord
directly into a system 206 module,
but you must place the base at
least 20 feet from the 206 module.)
If the base is mounted on a flat surface, slide the Quick Reference
under the base. If the base is wall-mounted, place the Quick
Reference near the base.
12
In ser tin g th e Ba tter y P a ck
If a battery pack is already in
the compartment, first unplug the
battery cord from the handset and
remove the old battery pack.
Place the new battery pack in the
compartment with the battery cord
coming from the top left side of the
battery pack.
Remove battery cover
from the handset by pressing down
on the raised dots and sliding the
cover towards you.
Plug the white plastic end of the cord attached to the battery pack
into the battery connector jack compartment. The battery contacts
should face down.
Replace the cover by sliding it forward until it snaps into place. Be careful
not to pinch the battery cord.
13
Rep la cin g th e Ba tter y P a ck
When the power in the battery pack for the MLC-6 phone is
low, the message BATT appears in the handset display. The life of
the battery pack is approximately two years. To order a replace-
ment battery pack, see “Ordering Replacement Parts.”
To install a new battery pack, see “Inserting the Battery Pack.” Be
sure to properly dispose of the old battery.
WAR N I N G :
Do not open or mutilate batteries. They contain caustic and
toxic chemicals. Do not dispose of in fires. The batteries can
explode and cause severe personal injury. Dispose of batter-
ies in accordance with the local sanitation codes.
Ch a r gin g th e Ba tter ies
Charge the batteries before using the cordless phone for the first
time. To charge, simply place the handset on the base, making
sure the base is plugged into an AC outlet. The Charge Indicator
on the base lights up to show that the handset is seated properly
and the batteries are charging. (If the battery is completely
drained, you will hear a brief high-pitched sound when you place
the handset in the base.)
It takes approximately eight hours to fully charge a drained battery.
If the handset is turned on for four hours or more a day, it is a good
practice to recharge the batteries at least once daily.
14
In sta llin g th e F lexible An ten n a
The handset comes with a rigid telescoping antenna installed.
Normal operation of the cordless phone requires you to manually
extend this antenna when making a call. If you prefer, you can use
the flexible antenna, which does not need to be extended or
retracted.
To install the flexible antenna:
1. Remove the telescoping antenna from the handset by
unscrewing it counterclockwise.
2. Insert the end of the flexible antenna into the handset and
screw it in clockwise until it is firmly seated.

warranty Maintenance Agreement, call the Helpline. Your post-
warranty Maintenance Agreement entitles you to service calls with
no additional charges for parts or labor.
If you bought your telephone from AT&T but you did not buy a post-
warranty maintenance contract, call our Helpline for service charges
and assistance.
If you bought your telephone from an AT&T Authorized Dealer but
you did not buy AT&T post-warranty service, call your Dealer for
assistance (or call our Helpline).
Im p or ta n t Notice:
We expect your telephone will work well for you for many years.
However, we do recommend that you buy an AT&T post-warranty
Maintenance Agreement if you are concerned about the expense of
repair or replacement of your telephone after the one-year warranty
period. See your AT&T Representative, your Dealer, or call us toll
free at 1 800 247-7000 if you would like to talk about the coverage
and price of a Maintenance Agreement.
