Installation

You must install and charge the handset battery before using the cordless handset.

See pages 11-12 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 should be placed on a flat surface. 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 (DSL - digital subscriber line) through your telephone line(s), you must install a DSL filter between each telephone line cord and telephone wall jack (pages 8-9). 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 a washing machine or

• work bench.

Bluetooth

Introducing Bluetooth

Your new AT&T TL86109 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 line 1 or

•

line 2 calls. Conference any combination of cell and line 1 or line 2 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 TL86109 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 TL86109 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 16-30) to learn how to set up your Bluetooth device. Refer to the Telephone operation section (pages 66-83) on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new AT&T

TL86109 telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology. Refer to the

Troubleshooting section (pages 137-149) if you experience difficulty when

using the telephone system.

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 - Bluetooth enabled devices that are paired to the telephone

base and on the active devices list. 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 can be on a call at a time.

Bluetooth cell phone - refers to a mobile Bluetooth enabled cellular telephone.

CELLULAR line - the telephone line associated with your cell phone service. On your TL86109, press CELL on the handset or CELLULAR on the base

to use the cell line.

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 listed on the active devices list, it is ready for use.

Device list - The list of devices connected to the telephone.

Disconnected - a diagonal line appears across devices A and/or B 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 is set to this mode. Depending on the cell phone manufacturer, this mode is sometimes referred to as Find Me or Visibility.

1 LINE and 2 LINE - your conventional telephone land lines. On your

TL86109, press 1 LINE/FLASH or 2 LINE/FLASH on the handset or 1 LINE or

2 LINE on the base to use the corresponding line.

Paired devices - Bluetooth enabled devices (cell phones or headsets) that

have shared registration information with the telephone base. A total of four Bluetooth enabled devices can be paired to the telephone base. However, only two paired devices can communicate with the base at a time.

Pairing - sometimes referred to as bonding. The process of sharing registration information between two Bluetooth enabled devices. Your Bluetooth enabled cell phone or headset must first be paired to the telephone base in order to use it with this telephone system.

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.

Announcement

An announcement is the greeting callers hear when calls are answered by the answering system.

The telephone is preset with a greeting that answers calls with

leave a message after the tone.”

You can use this preset announcement, or

“Hello, please

replace it with your own.

Line 1 and line 2 each have two separate announcements, Annc A and Annc B, stored in the answering system and can be scheduled by time.

If you set the announcement mode to Annc A only, the answering system only plays Annc A for all calls. If you set the announcement mode to Annc B only, the answering system only plays Annc B for all calls.
