See pages 10-11 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 (digital subscriber line -
DSL) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (page 8). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.

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 home calls. Conference cell and home 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 you have a location in your house with better reception, you can leave your cell phone in that location while you use the TL86109 cell line. In order for this to work, the cell phone must be within 15 feet of the telephone base for optimal performance. 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 15-29) to learn how to set up your Bluetooth device. Refer to the Telephone operation section
(page 58) on how to operate your Bluetooth devices with your new TL86109 AT&T telephone system with Bluetooth wireless technology.

Your telephones built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently. 1 or 2 and New voicemail display on the handsets or telephone base, If 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. 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. To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail service. You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. Then, 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. 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. 105 Answering system About the answering system Answering system new message indication When there are new message(s) on the answering system of line 1, L1> XX New msgs and with line 1 indicators display on the screens of the handset and telephone base.

You must subscribe to this service from your telephone service provider for this feature to work on your phone. The caller must be calling from an area that supports caller ID. Both your and your callers telephone service providers must use caller ID compatible equipment. If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line
- DSL) through your telephone lines, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack (see page 8). The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters. System does not receive caller ID when on a call. Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features provided by your telephone service provider. Caller ID features work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment. An icon and New voicemail show on the display and I dont know why. Your telephone has voicemail indication that is separate from the built-in answering system. If appears on the display, then your telephone has received a signal from your telephone service provider that you have a voicemail message waiting for you to retrieve from your telephone service provider. Contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to access your voicemail. I cannot retrieve voicemail messages. Your telephone has both a built-in answering system and voicemail indication. They are independent features and each alerts you to new messages differently (page 105). If you subscribe to voicemail service from your telephone service provider (charges may apply), contact your telephone service provider for more information on how to access your voicemail. I am receiving incomplete messages. If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the system disconnects the call after four minutes. If the caller pauses for longer than seven seconds, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.

If the callers voice is very soft, the system may stop recording and disconnects the call. 131 Appendix Troubleshooting I am having difficulty hearing messages. Press VOLUME to increase speaker volume on the telephone base. Press VOLUME to increase the listening volume on a handset. System does not answer after correct number of rings. Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering system is on, ANS ON should show on the handset and the ON/OFF LINE 1 or ON/OFF LINE 2 light is lit on the telephone base (page 51). If toll saver is selected, the number of rings changes to two when there are new messages waiting (page 55). If the memory is full or the system is off, the system answers after 10 rings. In some cases, the answering system is affected by the ringing system used by the telephone service provider. If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering system answers before your voicemail answers (page 105). To determine how many rings activate your voicemail, please contact your telephone service provider. If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems. The answering system announces Time and day not set. You need to set the date and time (page 34). System does not respond to remote commands. Make sure to enter your remote access code correctly (page 112). Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone phone. When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks, the phone is not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system. The answering system may not detect the remote access code while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over before entering the code. There may be interference on the phone line you are using. Press the dial pad keys firmly. 132 Appendix Troubleshooting The answering system does not record messages. Make sure the answering system is on (page 51). Make sure the memory of the answering system is not full. When the answering machine memory is full, it does not record new messages until some old messages are deleted. If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering system answers before your voicemail answers (page 105). To determine how many rings activate your voicemail, please contact your telephone service provider. If there is a fax machine connected to the same telephone line, try disconnecting the fax machine. If that solves the problem, consult your fax machine documentation for information on compatibility with answering systems. The outgoing announcement is not clear. When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice, about nine inches from the telephone base. Make sure there is no background noise (TV, music, etc.) while recording. I subscribe to a nontraditional telephone service that uses my computer to establish connections, and my telephone doesnt work. Make sure your computer is powered on. Make sure your Internet connection is working properly. Make sure that the software is installed and running for your nontraditional telephone service. Make sure to plug your USB telephone adapter into a dedicated USB port on your computer. Do not plug into a multiple port USB hub (USB splitter) that is not powered. In a few rare instances, the USB port on your computer may not have enough power. In these instances, try using a USB hub with its own external power supply. If you are using a firewall, it may prevent access to your nontraditional telephone service provider. Contact your service provider for more information. 133 Appendix Troubleshooting Common cure for electronic equipment:
