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 11). 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 7). 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 TL92271/TL92371/TL92471 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 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 headset
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 15-26) to learn how to set up
your Bluetooth device. Refer to the Telephone operation section (page 40)
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 97-109) if you
experience difficulty when using the telephone system.

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 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 70).
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 call log entry can show a maximum
number of 24 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.

Caller ID
Caller ID operation
How the caller ID history (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 all handsets,
so changes made using any handset 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 history.
NOTE: If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be
saved or shown in the call log.
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 delivers 10-digit telephone
numbers (area code plus telephone number). If the last seven 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.

About the answering system
Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those recorded on its built-in answering system and those
recorded in 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 XX New messages display on the handsets and the message
window on the telephone base flashes, there are new messages in the built-
in answering system, press /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base. To listen
to messages with a handset, see To listen to messages with a handset on
page 86.
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.
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.
To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off
your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your
voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your
voicemail service.
Using the answering system and voicemail together
You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together
by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers
as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact
your telephone service provider. Then, 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.
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.

About the answering system
Message capacity
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each
message can be up to three minutes in length depending on the message
length set (see Recording time on page 81). 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.
Voice prompts
The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup
procedures at the telephone base, message playback, remote access and
recording outgoing announcements.

My caller ID isn’t working.
Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from
your telephone service provider for this feature to work on your phone.
The caller must be calling from an area that supports caller ID.
Both your and your caller’s telephone service providers must use caller ID
compatible equipment.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL)
through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the
telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see page 7). The filter
prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please
contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
System does not receive caller ID when on a call.
Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features provided by
your telephone service provider. Caller ID features work only if both you
and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone
companies use compatible equipment.
An icon and New voicemail show on the display and I don’t know why.
Your telephone has voicemail indication that is separate from the built-in
answering system. If appears on the display, then your telephone has
received a signal from your telephone service provider that you have a
voicemail message waiting for you to retrieve from your telephone service
provider. Contact your telephone service provider for more information on
how to access your voicemail.
I cannot retrieve voicemail messages.
Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail
indication. They are independent features and each alerts you to new
messages differently (page 82). If you subscribe to voicemail service
from your telephone service provider (charges may apply), contact your
telephone service provider for more information on how to access
your voicemail.
I am receiving incomplete messages.
If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the
system disconnects the call after four minutes.
If the caller pauses for longer than seven seconds, the system stops
recording and disconnects the call.
If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system stops
recording and disconnects the call.
If the caller’s voice is very soft, the system may stop recording and
disconnect the call.

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.

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 the Troubleshooting section on pages 97-109
of this user’s manual. If you cannot solve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to
the Limited warranty section on pages 115-116. 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 9-10). 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-the-table/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.
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.

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.
Especially about telephone answering systems

DECT 6.0 digital technology
The AT&T DECT 6.0 products offer unsurpassed range performance and sound
clarity. This is achieved through a unique antenna design and advances in
noise-filtering technology. An independent laboratory has confirmed that
AT&T DECT 6.0 products perform up to 45% better in range competitions.
Now calls can be taken in the basement, backyard and garage with
exceptional sound quality.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and
telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can
vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and
the construction of your home or office.
Extended range and clarity
This telephone base comes with an antenna which gives much better clarity
and covers a longer range than before.
