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

• 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 the washing machine or
work bench.

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

The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The
callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. A call

Caller ID
Caller ID operation
How the caller ID history (call log) works
The telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls
in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The
system deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new
calls. This information is common to all handset(s) and the telephone base,
so changes made using any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you
answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show
in the caller ID history.
NOTE: If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the
call log.
Missed calls indicator
The handset and telephone base display XX Missed call(s)
when they are in idle mode and have missed or new calls.
All missed or new entries are counted as missed calls. Each
time you review a call log entry with the icon NEW, the
number of missed calls decreases by one.

Memory match
If 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 delivers 10-digit telephone numbers (area code plus telephone
number). If the last seven digits of the incoming telephone number do not match a number
in your directory, the name appears as it is delivered by the telephone service provider.

Answering system
About the answering system
Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those recorded on its built-in answering system and those
recorded in 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 1 or 2 and New voicemail display on the handsets or telephone base,
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

Especially about corded telephones
• Privacy: The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some
limitations. Telephone calls are transmitted between the telephone base and the handset
by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your cordless telephone conversations could
be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For this
reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as private as those
on corded telephones.
• Electrical power: The telephone base of this cordless telephone must be connected to a
working electrical outlet which is not controlled by a wall switch. Calls cannot be made from
the handset if the telephone base is unplugged, switched off or if the electrical power is
interrupted.
136
Appendix
Important safety information
• Potential TV interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place the
telephone base of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference
is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often
reduce or eliminate the interference.
• Rechargeable batteries: This product contains nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to create a short circuit with conductive
material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause
harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery charger.
• Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries: Dispose of these batteries in a safe manner. Do
not burn or puncture. Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could
release caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC™ Seal means that the manufacturer is voluntarily participating
in an industry program to collect and recycle nickel-metal hydride
rechargeable batteries when taken out of service within the United
States. These batteries may be taken to a participating local retailer of
replacement batteries or recycling center. Or you may call 1 (800) 8BATTERY for locations accepting spent Ni-MH batteries.

DECT 6.0 digital technology
The AT&T DECT 6.0 products offer unsurpassed range performance and sound
clarity. This is achieved through a unique antenna design and advances in
noise-filtering technology. An independent laboratory has confirmed that
AT&T DECT 6.0 products perform up to 45% better in range competitions.
Now calls can be taken in the basement, backyard and garage with
exceptional sound quality.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and
telephone base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can
vary with the locations of the telephone base and handset, the weather, and
the construction of your home or office.
Extended range and clarity
This telephone base comes with an antenna which gives much better clarity
and covers a longer range than before.
