Introducing Bluetooth
Your new AT&T TL96271/TL96371/TL96471 telephone system with
Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:
Pair up to 4 Bluetooth enabled devices (cell phones or headsets) with the
telephone base.
Connect a maximum of 2 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 any combination of cell and home call.
Make and receive calls using your cell phone service with your telephone
base or 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 headsets
within this range.
If your cell phone has poor reception in your home, the TL96271/
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.
Refer to the Bluetooth setup section (pages 19-30) to learn how to set up
your Bluetooth device. Refer to the Telephone operation section
(pages 45-60) on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new AT&T
TL96271/TL96371/TL96471 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless
technology. Refer to the Troubleshooting section (pages 126-138) if you
experience difficulty when using the telephone system.
