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.

Hold the cords to the side of the telephone base. Align the upper slots on

the back of the telephone base just above the upper tabs (marked A) of the wall mount bracket. Make sure the lower slots of the telephone base are also aligned above the lower tabs (marked B) of the wall mount bracket. Push the telephone base down until it clicks securely in place.

Getting started

Installation options

Bundle the telephone line cord and power adapter cord neatly with twist

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.

Caller ID

About caller ID

This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service providers. Caller ID allows you to see the name, number, date and time of calls. The available caller ID information will appear after the first or second ring. Caller ID from the home line allows you to see the name, number, date and time of the incoming calls. The caller ID may appear differently if the caller is matched to a directory entry (see Memory match on page 71).

Information about caller ID with call waiting

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.

It may be necessary to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:

You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may

• need to combine these services).

You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.

• You don’t subscribe to caller ID or call waiting services.

•

There are fees for caller ID services. In addition, services may not be available in all areas.

Caller ID information is available only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment.

The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. A caller ID log entry can show a maximum number of 24 digits.

NOTE: You can use this product with regular caller ID service, or you can use this product’s

other features without subscribing to caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service.

Caller ID

Caller ID operation

How the caller ID history (caller ID log) works

The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The phone deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handsets, so changes made using any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.

NOTE: If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the caller

ID log.

Missed (new) call indicator

When a cordless handset is in idle mode and has new or missed calls, its screen shows XX Missed calls.

All new and missed entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a new caller ID log entry (indicated by NEW on the screen), the number of missed calls decreases by one.

If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one, but still want to keep them in the caller ID history, you can press and hold OFF/CANCEL on the handset for four seconds when the handset is idle. You will hear a confirmation tone. All the entries in the caller ID log become old (reviewed already), and the missed calls message goes away.

Memory match

If the incoming telephone number matches the last 7 digits of a telephone number in your directory, the name that appears on the screen matches the corresponding name in your directory.

For example, if Christine Smith calls, her name appears as Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.

NOTE:

The number you see on your caller ID is in the format sent by the telephone service provider. It usually delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the last 7 digits of the incoming telephone number do not match a number in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.

About the answering system

Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those recorded on its built-in answering system and those recorded in your service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.

If and XX New messages display on the handsets and the message window on the telephone base flashes, there are new messages in the built-in answering system. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base. To listen to messages with a handset, see To listen to messages on a cordless handset on page 88.

If and New voicemail display on the handsets, your telephone service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.

Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone service provider.

To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail service.

Using the answering system and voicemail together

You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. Then, if you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.

Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.
