13BluetoothBelow 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.

59Caller IDAbout caller IDThis 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 waitingCaller 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.•••CHRISTINE SMITH888-722-77023:45am 12/25NEWCaller ID60Caller IDCaller ID operationCaller ID historyIf 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 call log.•••••••CHRISTINE SMITH888-722-77023:45am 12/25NEWCaller’s nameCaller’s numberAppears when there are missed and unreviewed calls.Time of callDate of call

61Caller IDMemory matchIf 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 indicatorWhen 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.

65Answering system and voicemailYour 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 capacityThe 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.••About the answering systemAnswering system66Answering systemAbout the answering systemNew message indicationThe message window on the telephone base flashes and the handset shows and New messages when there are new answering system messages.If the new message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every 10 seconds when there are unreviewed messages.Call screening at the telephone baseIf the answering system is on, you hear the announcement and the incoming message when receiving a call.
