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.

Getting started

Telephone base installation

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. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

Option 1: If you have a 2-line wall jack, install the telephone base, as shown below.

Use a 4-conductor telephone line cord (not

included) to connect the DSL filter and the 2-line telephone wall jack.

A DSL filter (not included) is required if you have DSL high-speed Internet service.

Plug the other end of the black telephone line cord into the DSL filter (if required).

Route the power adapter cord through this slot.

Plug the small end of the AC power adapter into the power jack at the bottom of the telephone base.

Plug the other end of the coiled handset cord into the jack at the bottom of the telephone base.

Black telephone line cord

Route the black telephone line cord through this slot.

Plug one end of the black telephone line cord into the LINE 1/L1+L2 telephone jack at the bottom of the telephone base.

Plug one end of the clear telephone line cord into the LINE 2 telephone jack at the bottom of the telephone base.

NOTE: This telephone provides minimal functionality during a power outage. When AC power is not available, many telephone features do not function. The telephone uses power from the telephone line to enable you to make and answer calls using only the corded handset and dialing keys. However, only line 1 is available in the event of a power failure.

Plug the small end of the AC power adapter into the power jack at the bottom of the telephone base and route the cord through the slots.

Plug the other end of the coiled handset cord into the jack at the bottom of the telephone base.

Getting started

Battery charging

Once you have installed the battery, the screen indicates the battery status (see the following table). If necessary, place the handset in the charger to charge the battery. For best performance, keep the handset in the charger when not in use. The battery is fully charged after 16 hours of continuous charging. See the table on page 161 for battery operating times.

If the screen shows Low battery, you need to charge the battery without interruption for at least 25 minutes to give the handset enough charge to use the telephone for a short time. The following table summarizes the battery charge indicators and actions to take.

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.

Bluetooth

Glossary of terms

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.
