Installation

You must install and charge the handset battery before using the cordless handset.

See pages 13-14 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.

Bluetooth

Introducing Bluetooth

Your new AT&T TL96271/TL96371/TL96471 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:

•

Pair up to four Bluetooth enabled devices (cell phones or headsets) 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 line 1 or line 2 calls.

•

Conference any combination of cell and line 1 or line 2 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 headset within this range.

•

If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the

TL96371/TL96471

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

TL96271/TL96371/TL96471

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.
