Installation

You must install and charge the handset battery before using the cordless handset.
See pages 7-8 for easy instructions.
Install the telephone base close to a telephone jack and a power outlet not controlled by a wall switch. The telephone base can be placed on a flat surface or vertically mounted on the wall (page 9). For optimum range and better reception, place the telephone base in a central and open location.
You may hear interference if your cellular phone is too close to the telephone base during a CELLULAR call. Make sure that your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone is within 15 feet of the telephone base in order to maintain a clear and consistent connection between your Bluetooth cell phone, telephone base and cell tower.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line ­DSL) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (page 6). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
Your product may be shipped with a protective sticker covering the handset or telephone base display - remove it before use.
For customer service or product information, visit our website at
www.telephones.att.com or call 1 (800) 222-3111. In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
Avoid placing the telephone base too close to:
Communication devices such as television sets, VCRs, 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 washing machine or
• work bench.

Battery installation and charging

Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see table below). If necessary, place the handset in the telephone base or charger to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the telephone base or charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 11 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 127 for battery operating times.
If the screen is blank, you need to charge the handset without interruption for at least 30 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone for a short time. When the battery is low, the handset shows Low battery and a flashing . If you are on a call in low battery mode, the handset beeps every minute.
The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.

Introducing Bluetooth

Your new AT&T TL92273/TL92373/TL92473 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:
Pair up to 4 Bluetooth enabled devices (cell phones or headsets) with the
telephone base. Connect a maximum of 2 cell phones to make and receive cell calls. Both
cell phones can be active on a call at a time. Connect a Bluetooth enabled headset for making and receiving home calls.
Conference any combination of cell and home call.
Make and receive calls using your cell phone service with your telephone
base or system handsets. Download phonebook entries from your cell phone.
Ringtone share feature allows you to set your telephone to play your
iPhone® (iOS 4.1 or later) ringtone.
iPhone® is a registered trademark of Apple, Inc.

Bluetooth
Introducing Bluetooth
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
After plugging in the telephone base, wait at least 20 seconds before
connecting a Bluetooth device. The screen shows Bluetooth system busy if you try to connect too soon.
Refer to the user's manual of your Bluetooth enabled cell phone or headset
for more information about how that device uses Bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a short range (up to 30 feet)
from the telephone base. Keep connected cell phones and headsets within this range.
If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the TL92273/
TL92373/TL92473 cannot improve the reception. However, if you have a location in your house with better reception, you can leave your cell phone in that location while you use the TL92273/TL92373/TL92473 cell line. In order for this to work, the cell phone must be within 15 feet of the telephone base for optimal performance.
If you experience poor sound quality, it may be caused by the distance
between your cell phone and the telephone base. To improve the performance, place your cell phone closer to the telephone base and make sure that there are no physical obstacles such as the large furniture or thick wall in between.

Bluetooth
Introducing Bluetooth
Charge your cell phone while it is connected to the telephone base. Your
cell phone's battery discharges faster while it is connected to the telephone base via Bluetooth wireless technology.
Monitor your cell phone's usage, because minutes may be deducted from
your cellular plan for the duration of all cell calls, depending on the terms of your plan.
Refer to the Bluetooth setup section (pages 16-27) to learn how to set up your Bluetooth device. Refer to the Telephone operation section on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new TL92273/TL92373/TL92473 AT&T telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology. Refer to the Troubleshooting section (pages 104-119) if you experience difficulty when using the telephone system.

Connect to Cell™ application

If you are using Bluetooth-enabled cell phones with Android® OS 2.3 or above, you can further extend the flexibility of your telephone system with use of the free Connect to Cell application.
Connect to Cell comprises Caller ID manager and Alerts manager that help integrate your cell phone with the AT&T telephone system.
Caller ID manager (Caller ID share) allows you:
To view your AT&T phone’s caller ID log on your Android cell phone.
To use your Android cell phone to call back or send messages to individuals
who have called your home line on the AT&T telephone; To store callers’ names and numbers to your Android phone’s directory for
future use.
Alerts manager (Mobile notification) allows you to extend your Android phone’s alerts to your AT&T telephone system. Your AT&T telephone will notify you whenever you receive certain text messages, e-mails or social media updates on your Android phone, so you will always be kept up to date.
