product.
Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There might be a slight chance of electric
shock from lightning.
Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak. If you suspect a gas leak, report it
immediately, but use a telephone away from the area where gas is leaking. If this product is a
cordless model, make sure the base is also away from the area.
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a
wet basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub.
Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any
liquids, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it
has dried thoroughly.
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power
cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.

of this user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer
to Limited warranty section on pages 92-93. Do not open this product except as may be
directed in your user’s manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may
expose you to hazardous voltages or other risks.
Replace batteries only as described in your user’s manual (pages 8-9). Do not burn or
puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.
This power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position.
The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an
under-thetable/cabinet outlet.

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.

Appendix
Important safety information
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the
telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference
is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often
reduce or eliminate the interference.
Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive
material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause
harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do
not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could
release caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in
an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
batteries when taken out of service within the United States. These batteries
may be taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or
recycling center. Or you may call 1 (800) 8-BATTERY for locations accepting
spent Ni-MH batteries.
Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones): Wireless Technology Research,
LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference
between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast
pocket, when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons
using wireless telephones.

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 between one to 12 feet away from 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 the washing machine or
work bench.

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.

Bluetooth
Below are some terms used in this user’s manual to help you become
familiar with using your Bluetooth devices and your new AT&T telephone
system.
Active devices - a maximum of two paired devices (two cell phones, or one
cell phone and one headset) on the active devices list can be connected to
the telephone base, but only one cell phone or headset can be on a call at
a time.
Bluetooth cell phone - refers to a mobile Bluetooth enabled cellular
telephone.
CELLULAR line - the communications service provided through your
Bluetooth enabled cellular telephone.
Connected - a Bluetooth enabled device (cell phone or headset) can only be
used when it is connected to the telephone base. When a Bluetooth enabled
device is connected to the telephone base and active on the active devices
list, it will be ready for use.
Disconnected - a diagonal line appears across devices 1 and/or 2 when
the corresponding Bluetooth enabled device is disconnected from the
telephone base.
Discoverable mode - before a Bluetooth enabled device can be paired, it
must be set to this mode. When pairing your cell phone, the telephone base
will be set to this mode. When pairing a headset, the headset must be set to
this mode. Depending on the manufacturer, this mode is sometimes referred
to as Find Me or Visibility.
HOME line - your conventional telephone land line. On your TL92270/
TL92370 handset, press HOME/FLASH to use the home line.
Paired devices - once a Bluetooth device has been paired with the
telephone base, it will be identified as registered to the telephone base. Only
one Bluetooth cellular phone can be paired with the telephone base.
Pairing - this refers to the process of two Bluetooth devices registering
device information with each other. The telephone base must be paired
with a Bluetooth cellular phone before the Bluetooth device can be used.
Depending on the manufacturer, this is also referred to as Bonding.
PIN - by default, the PIN is 0000 for the telephone base and for most
Bluetooth devices. PIN information must be exchanged between Bluetooth
devices before they can be used. This is also known as a passkey
or passcode.

Caller ID
About caller ID
This product supports caller ID services provided by most telephone service
providers. Depending on your service subscription, you may see the caller’s
number, or the caller’s name and number from the telephone service provider
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. However, caller ID
from the cell line only shows the number of the incoming caller; date and
time of the call is not shown. The caller ID may appear differently if the caller
is matched to a directory entry (see Memory match on page 61).
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. To view call log entries with
numbers between 16 and 24 digits, you must save the entry
to the directory (page 63). For instructions on viewing the
digits, see the note of Review the directory section on page 56.
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 operation
Caller ID history
If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your telephone service
provider and/or cell phone service provider, information about each caller
appears after the first or second ring. If you answer a call before the caller
information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the call log.
The call log stores up to 50 entries. Each entry has up to 24 digits for
the phone number and 15 characters for the name. If the name has
more than 15 characters, only the first 15 characters are shown and
saved in the call log.
You can review, redial, and copy an entry into the directory.
Entries are in reverse chronological order.
When the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for
new incoming call information.
XX Missed call(s) shows when there are new call log entries (including
missed and unreviewed calls).
Call log empty shows when there are no records in the call log.
Only one handset can review the call log at a time. If a handset tries to
enter the call log while another handset is already in it, Not available at
this time appears.
NOTE: If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the

Caller ID
Memory match
If the incoming telephone number matches the last seven
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 enter it into your directory.
NOTE: The number you see on your caller ID is in the format
from the telephone service provider. It usually delievers 10-digits
telephone numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the
telephone number of the caller does not exactly match a number
in your directory, the name will appear as it is delivered by the
telephone service provider. For example, if the telephone service
provider includes the area code buy your directory number does
not, the name will appear as delivered by the telephone service
provider.
Missed calls indicator
When there are unreviewed calls in the call log, the handsets
show XX Missed call(s).
Each time you review a call log entry marked NEW, the
number of missed calls decreases by one.
When you have reviewed all the missed calls, the missed
calls indicator no longer shows.
If you do not want to review the missed calls one by one,
press and hold OFF/CLEAR to erase the missed calls
indicator. All the entries are then considered old and kept in
the call log.

Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at
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 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.
To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press
/PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 67).
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.
You can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by
setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers.
To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone
service provider. 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 by following the instructions below.
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.
Message capacity
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each
message can be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity
for the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes.
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

Maintenance
Taking care of your telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must
be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment.
Place the handset down gently.
Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if you ever
need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset in
the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the telephone base
near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, take caution when using electric
appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for
many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water
or a mild soap.
Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are wet or
standing in water. If the telephone base should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the
telephone out by the unplugged cords.

Important safety information
This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions that may appear
in this user’s manual. Always follow basic safety precautions when using this product to reduce
the risk of injury, fire, or electric shock.
Safety information
Read and understand all instructions in the user’s manual. Observe all markings on the
product.
Avoid using a telephone during a thunderstorm. There might be a slight chance of electric
shock from lightning.
Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak. If you suspect a gas leak, report it
immediately, but use a telephone away from the area where gas is leaking. If this product is a
cordless model, make sure the base is also away from the area.
Do not use this product near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not use it in a
wet basement or shower, or next to a swimming pool, bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub.
Do not use liquids or aerosol sprays for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any
liquids, unplug any line or power cord immediately. Do not plug the product back in until it
has dried thoroughly.
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power
cords. Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
If this product does not operate normally, read Troubleshooting section on pages 75-86
of this user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer
to Limited warranty section on pages 92-93. Do not open this product except as may be
directed in your user’s manual. Opening the product or reassembling it incorrectly may
expose you to hazardous voltages or other risks.
Replace batteries only as described in your user’s manual (pages 8-9). Do not burn or
puncture batteries — they contain caustic chemicals.
This power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mount position.
The prongs are not designed to hold the plug in place if it is plugged into a ceiling or an
under-thetable/cabinet outlet.
CAUTION: Use only the power adapter provided with this product. To obtain a replacement,
visit our website at www.telephones.att.com, or call 1 (800) 222–3111.
In Canada, dial 1 (866) 288-4268.
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.

Important safety information
Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the
telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference
is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often
reduce or eliminate the interference.
Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive
material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause
harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do
not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could
release caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating in
an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride rechargeable

Precautions for users of implanted cardiac pacemakers
Cardiac pacemakers (applies only to digital cordless telephones): Wireless Technology Research,
LLC (WTR), an independent research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the interference
between portable wireless telephones and implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration, WTR recommends to physicians that:
Pacemaker patients
Should keep wireless telephones at least six inches from the pacemaker.
Should NOT place wireless telephones directly over the pacemaker, such as in a breast
pocket, when it is turned ON.
Should use the wireless telephone at the ear opposite the pacemaker.
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with pacemakers from other persons
using wireless telephones.
