Getting started
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 10). 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.

Introducing Bluetooth
Your new AT&T TL92271/TL92371/TL92471 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. Only
one cell phone can be active on a call at a time.
Connect a Bluetooth enabled headset for making and receiving home calls.
Conference cell and home calls.
Make and receive calls using your cell phone plan with your cordless
system handsets.
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 TL92271/
TL92371/TL92471 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 TL92271/TL92371/TL92471 cell line.
In order for this to work, the cell phone must be within 15 feet of the
telephone base for optimal performance.
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 14-25) to learn how to set up
your Bluetooth device. Refer to the Telephone operation section (page 39)
on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new TL92271/
TL92371/TL92471 AT&T telephone system with Bluetooth wireless
technology. Refer to the Troubleshooting section (pages 96-108) if you
experience difficulty when using the telephone system.
