Installation
You must install and charge
the handset battery before
using the handset.
See pages 12-13 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 should be placed on a flat
surface. 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 (DSL - digital subscriber line)
through your telephone line(s), you must install a DSL filter between each
telephone line cord and telephone wall jack (page 11). 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 a washing machine or
•
work bench.

Battery installation and charging
Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status
(see the following table). 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 16 hours of continuous charging. See the table on
page 150 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.

Bluetooth
Introducing Bluetooth
Your new AT&T TL96151 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 any combination of cell and home call.
•
Make and receive calls using your cell phone service with your telephone
•
base or 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 TL96151 cannot
•
improve the reception. However, if there is a location in your house with
better reception, you can leave your cell phone at that location while you
use the TL96151 cell line. For optimal performance, the cell phone must
be within 15 feet of the telephone base.
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 18-29) to learn how to set up
your Bluetooth device. Refer to the Telephone operation section
(pages 45-60) on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new AT&T
TL96151 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section (pages 126-138) if you experience difficulty when

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 and cell 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 93).
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 15 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.

How the 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 the telephone base and all handsets, so
changes made using any handset or the telephone base 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 log.
NOTE: If the phone number has more than 15 digits, only the last 15 digits will be saved or
shown in the caller ID log.
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.
