Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the TS-850i/TS-860i
Cordless DECT Phone!
This guide describes how to install and configure your new
telephone with a TalkSwitch system. For more information,
see the support section at http://global.talkswitch.com.
Installing the base
1. Place the base near a wired Ethernet router, either
on a tabletop or mounted on a wall. Avoid placing
the base in a location with a lot of metal, or near
devices that cause interference.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable from the WAN port on
the base to a LAN port on your router or Ethernet
switch. The TalkSwitch unit must be connected to
the same LAN.

3. Optionally connect the telephone cable from the
Line port on the base to the telephone wall socket.
This will allow you to use the TS-850i/TS-860i as a
regular phone as well.
4. Connect the power adapter from the power outlet to
the power supply connector.

Installing the handset charger

the base. The handset has an indoor signal range of
up to 150 feet (50 meters) from the base. Concrete
and metal objects might affect the signal range.
2. Connect the power adapter from the power outlet to
the power supply connector.

Charging the batteries
1. Place the handset in the handset charger. The
handset turns on, and the battery charge indicator
in the display starts to flash.
2. Charge the batteries for at least 10 hours before
first use.

6 TS-850i AND TS-860i START GUIDE
Registering handsets with the base
1. Press the Reset button on the back of the base. A
five-minute registration period starts, which allows
handsets to register with the base.
NOTE: If you have multiple bases, only reset one base
at a time, and wait five minutes before resetting the
next base.
2. If the handset is turned off, press the Red Phone
key to turn it on.
3. Place the handset in the handset charger. The handset
automatically registers with the base, and the Configure
SIP Domain message appears on the display. This
message indicates that you must configure the TS-850i/
TS-860i as an IP extension, as described later.
A base can support up to three handsets with three
concurrent calls. It can support up to eight handsets if
they aren’t all used at once. If you have more than
three handsets and are getting busy signals, add more
bases to your installation in order to handle more calls.

Once the handset is registered, the left connection
status indicator in the display will turn yellow.
4. Once the handset is registered, you can place
additional handsets in the handset charger for
registration. If the five-minute registration period
has expired, but the handsets aren’t all registered,
press the Reset button on the back of the base to
start a new registration period.

8 TS-850i AND TS-860i START GUIDE
Configuring the TS-850i/TS-860i as an IP extension
You can configure the phone as an IP extension located
within the office, or outside the office (i.e. an external
IP extension).
Before configuring a phone, ensure that no handsets
registered with the associated base are being used. If a
handset is on a call, the call will be terminated when the
system resets the base during configuration of the phone.
NOTE: The TS-850i requires version 6.11 or greater of the
TalkSwitch management software. The TS-860i requires
version 6.50 or greater, which is available in the support
section at http://global.talkswitch.com.
