Especially about corded telephones

Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those on corded telephones.

Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is interrupted.

Your new AT&T TL92270/TL92370 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:

Pair up to four Bluetooth enabled cell phones with the telephone base.

Connect a maximum of two 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 while utilizing the ease and comfort of your home telephone system.

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 (about 1 to 30 feet) from the telephone base. Keep connected cell phones and headset within this range.

If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the TL92270/ TL92370 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 TL92270/TL92370 cell line. In order for this to work, the telephone base must be within 30 feet of the cell phone.

Charge your cell phone while it is connected to the telephone base. Your cell phone's battery will discharge faster while it is connected to the telephone base via Bluetooth wireless technology.

Monitor your cell phone's usage because minutes are deducted from your cellular plan for the duration of all cell calls.

Refer to the Bluetooth setup section (pages 14-21) to learn how to set up your Bluetooth device. Refer to the Handset operation section (pages 22-26) on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new TL92270/TL92370 AT&T telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology. Refer to the Troubleshooting section (pages 78-86) if you experience difficulty when using the telephone system.
