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 can be placed on a flat surface

or vertically mounted on the wall (see page 9). 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(s), you must install a DSL filter between the

telephone base and the telephone wall jack (see the following page). The filter

will prevent 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 TL92278/TL92328/TL92378 telephone system with Bluetooth

wireless technology has the following features:

• Pair a Bluetooth enabled cell phone with the telephone base.

• Connect a cell phone to make and receive CELLULAR calls. Only one cell

phone can be paired and connected on a call at a time.

• Make and receive calls using your cell phone plan while benefiting from the

ease and comfort of your home telephone system.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Refer to your cell phone user's manual for more information about its

Bluetooth function.

• 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.

• Make sure that your cellular phone has sufficient signal strength. You may

need to move the cellular phone and telephone base to a location where

the cellular signal may be stronger.

• Charge your Bluetooth cell phone while it is connected to the telephone

base because your cell phone's battery will discharge faster while it is

connected wirelessly to the telephone base.

• Monitor your cell phone's usage because airtime is deducted from your

cellular plan for the duration of the CELLULAR calls.

Refer to the Bluetooth Setup section (pages 19-20) to learn how to set up

your Bluetooth device. Refer to the Handset operation section (page 27) on

how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new AT&T telephone system

Caller ID

�aller ID operation

This product supports caller ID services provided

by most local telephone service companies.

Depending on your service subscription, you may

see the caller’s number, or the caller’s name and

number which are sent by the telephone company

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 call. However,

caller ID from the CELLULAR line only shows the

number of the incoming call; date and time of the

call will not be shown.

CHRISTINE SMITH

888-722-7702

NEW

10:01^AM11/23

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name

and telephone number of the caller before

answering the telephone, even when on another

call. For incoming HOME calls, the time and date

will also be sent by the telephone service provider

along with the caller ID information. For incoming

CELLULAR calls, only the caller's number will be

provided. These services are available only if both

you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID

service, and if both telephone companies use

compatible equipment.

Contact your local telephone company and

cellular 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 any caller ID or call

waiting services.

You can use this product with regular caller

ID service, or you can use this product’s other

features without subscribing to either caller ID or

combined caller ID with call waiting service.

Caller ID

�aller ID operation

Caller ID history information

If you subscribe to caller ID services, provided by

your local telephone company and/or cellular

service provider, the caller ID history stores

information about the last 50 incoming calls for

both the HOME and CELLULAR lines.

CHRISTINE SMITH

888-722-7702

NEW

10:01^AM

Although the caller ID history records the caller

ID information of both lines, the CELLULAR

line caller ID entries only provide the incoming

telephone number. The Bluetooth name of the

cellular phone will also appear. However, if the

number on the incoming CELLULAR call matches

a number in the directory, the name will be

retrieved from the matched directory entry.

11/23

Review the caller ID history to find out who

called, to easily return the call, or to copy the

caller’s name and number into your directory.

The phone deletes the earliest entry when the log

is full to make room for new calls.

If you answer a call before the information

appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the

caller ID history.

The caller ID history is stored in the telephone

base, and is shared by all handsets. Changes

made on any one handset will be reflected in all.

NOTE: Only one handset can review the caller ID history

at a time. If another handset attempts to enter the

directory or caller ID history, it will display NOT

About the answering system

Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has both a digital answering

system and voicemail indication. Voicemail is

offered by your telephone service provider (fees

may apply). Your telephone’s answering system

and voicemail indication are independent features,

and each alerts you to new messages differently.

For more information on the voicemail indicators

see page 25. To listen to your voicemail, you

typically dial an access number provided by your

telephone company, followed by a security code

or PIN. To listen to messages recorded on your

digital answering system, press

button on the telephone base.

PLAY/STOP

If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service

through your telephone service provider, you

can use your telephone answering system and

voicemail together. Set your answering system to

answer calls at least two rings earlier than your

voicemail is set to answer. For example, set your

voicemail to answer calls after six rings and 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. By doing this,

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.

Answering system

About the answering system

The answering system can record up to 99

messages, depending on the length of each

message. Individual messages can be up to four

minutes, and the maximum recording time is 14

minutes. The actual recording time depends on

individual message characteristics. Messages will

remain available for replay until you delete them.

NOTE: Only messages

from the HOME line can

be recorded in the

system.

When there are new messages (including

memos) on the answering system, the number

of messages stored will flash in the message

counter.

If F is flashing in the message counter, the

memory is full. You will have to delete some

messages before new ones can be recorded.

To play the answering system messages, press

PLAY/STOP. Press VOLUME

on the side of

the telephone base to adjust the playback volume

when playing messages.

rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For

example, set your voicemail to answer calls after six

rings and 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. By doing this, 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.

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 unit

out by the unplugged cords.

Appendix D

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 may 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 the gas is leaking. If this product is a cordless model, make sure the

telephone 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 liquid, 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, see the Troubleshooting

section on pages 85-94 of this user’s manual. If you cannot solve the

problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to the Limited warranty on

pages 81-83. Do not open this product except as 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. Do not burn

Appendix D

Important safety information

Especially about cordless 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 con-

nected 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

or 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.

•

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.

Important safety information

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.

Especially about telephone answering systems

Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to inform

the other party that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in

compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a

telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the

other party that you are recording the conversation.

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.
