provided Audio Patch Cord (not the USB cord), or with the Handset microphone. You may  
record up to 9 unique ringers for a maximum of 10 seconds each.

begin recording your ringer at the beginning of a song, rather than a portion from the middle  
to produce an audibly pleasing custom ringer.

Reggae, Rock, etc) for you to use as your default ringer or a distinctive ringer. Three  
of them are protected, you can’t replace them.You can replace the other 6 preset  
ringers with your own. You can also record your own ringers in another 3 blank  
locations in My Clips. You will find 10 additional sound clips excluding those preset in  
the Handset on the accompanying CD-ROM.  
To record a ringer, follow these steps:  
•
Select the Sounds & Alerts icon  
in the Main Menu.  
•
•
Select the Sound Clips icon  
.
If you are using the Audio Patch Cord, insert the 3.5mm plug (the larger end) into the  
headset jack of your PC or audio source. Insert the 2.5mm plug (the smaller end) into the  
Headset jack on the side of the i 5857 Handset.  
You can listen to the playing music through your Handset speaker after connecting the Audio  
Patch Cord and selecting the Record Preview menu option. Adjust the recording volume at  
the audio source. To begin recording, press RECORD. If you want to use the Handset  
microphone to record ringers, select the Record Clip menu option. After the beep, and with  
the Handset microphone facing the audio source, start recording.  
NOTE: If the memory is full, the Handset will prompt Clip memory full!  
•
•
Hit the STOP softkey stop the recording.  
After recording, you may PLAY or SAVE the melody. If you choose SAVE, you will be  
prompted to Enter Clip Name. Enter a name (up to 8 characters) for the recording. If you  
make a mistake, press the  
softkey to backspace. Press SAVE to confirm. Clip  
has been saved will display. The melody will be stored in the My Clips section. You can  
listen to all of your recorded musical ringers in My Clips. If you want, when in My Clips,  
you can press DELETE then YES to erase one of them.

Calls Log  
Caller ID - Call Waiting ID  
Your i 5857 is capable of displaying the name and/or number of the party calling before you  
answer the phone (Caller ID). It is also capable of displaying Caller ID information in conjunc-  
tion with a Call Waiting alert signal (Call Waiting Caller ID). With Call Waiting Caller ID, the  
Caller ID data is displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or continue  
with your current conversation.  
NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALL WAITING CALLER ID  
These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone service providers.  
You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of these features. If you do not  
subscribe to Caller ID services, you can still use your i 5857 and the other features it  
offers. Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID information may not be available for every  
call you receive. In addition, the calling party may intentionally block their name and/or  
phone number from being sent.  
Reviewing Caller ID from the Base  
As new Caller ID/Call Waiting ID records are received,  
your Base display will alert you to the new Caller ID  
records, for example:  
The number of new calls displayed on each system Handset and Base may not be the same.  
If, for example, you answer a call on a Handset, the Handset will not count the Caller ID  
information for that call as new. However, the Base displays will consider it a new call, and  
add it to the NEW CALLS total.  
After you review all new Caller ID records, the NEW CALLS status will be turned off.  
From the idle (OFF) mode, press MENU, highlight the  
CALLS LOG option, then press OK. The Caller ID  
information of the most recently received call will be  
displayed. For example:  
To scroll to other records, use the up and down

Maintenance  
Taking care of your telephone  
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be treated  
with care.  
Avoid rough treatment  
Place the Handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect your  
telephone if you ever need to ship it.  
Avoid water  
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the Handset outdoors in the  
rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your Base Unit near a sink, bathtub, or  
shower.  
Electrical storms  
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment.  
For your own safety, use caution when using electric appliances during storms.  
Cleaning your telephone  
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many years.  
Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap. Do not use  
excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.  
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are  
wet or standing in water. If your Base Unit should fall into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE  
IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM  
THE WALL. Then pull the unit out by the unplugged cords.

No dial tone  
•
First try all the suggestions above.  
•
If you still don't hear a dial tone, disconnect the Base Unit from the telephone jack and  
connect a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either, the problem is in  
your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone company.  
You get noise, static, or a weak signal even when you're near the Base Unit  
•
Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the Base Unit can sometimes  
cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the Base Unit to another outlet.  
You get noise, static, or a weak signal when you're away from the Base Unit  
•
You may be out of range. Either move closer to the Base, or relocate the Base Unit.

to turn it off, see the section on Sounds & Alerts - Ringer Control in this User’s manual.  
You hear other calls while using your phone  
•
Disconnect your Base Unit from the telephone jack, and plug in a regular telephone. If you  
still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your wiring or local service. Call your local  
telephone company.  
You hear noise in the Handset, and none of the keys or buttons work  
•
Make sure the power cord is plugged in.

FCC Part 15  
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party  
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.  
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with part 15 of the FCC rules.  
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference  
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio  
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may  
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee  
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause  
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning  
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference  
by one or more of the following measures:  
•
•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet or on a circuit different from that to which

energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according to the intended usage  
of the product. This product has been tested and found to comply with the FCC criteria. The  
handset has such a low power that it does not require testing. It may be safely held against the  
ear of the user. The base unit shall be installed & used such that parts of the user’s body other  
than the hands should be maintained at a comfortable distance of approximately 20 cm or  
more.

1. Product identifier and REN information  
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an identifier  
indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This information  
must be provided to your local telephone company upon request. For equipment approved  
prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.”  
and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product  
identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product  
identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon.  
For example, the product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an REN of 0.3.  
The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone  
line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of  
all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more information, please contact your local  
telephone company.  
2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network  
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and the telephone  
network must comply with the applicable Part 68 rules and technical requirements adopted  
by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It  
is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. An RJ11  
jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two  
lines. See Installation Instructions in this user’s manual. This equipment may not be used  
with Coin Telephone Lines or with Party Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing  
equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does  
not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm  
equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.  
3. Repair instructions  
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular jack until the  
problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by  
the manufacturer or its authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the instructions  
outlined under the Limited Warranty.  
4. Rights of the telephone company  
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may  
temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone company is required to notify  
you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as  
soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the telephone  
company is required to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your  
telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures  
that could affect the proper functioning of this product. The telephone company is required  
to notify you if such changes are planned.  
5. Hearing aid compatibility  
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.  
6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers  
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire department  
and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If

FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations  
b. This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer assumes no  
responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.  
c. Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not recommended.  
However, if you do make a call to an emergency number:  
•
You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before hanging  
up.  
•
Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed during off-peak  
hours, such as in the early morning or late evening, when the emergency services  
tend to be less busy.  
IC (Industry Canada)  
This telephone is registered for use in Canada.  
The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada  
technical specifications were met.  
Notice: This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical  
Specifications. This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before  
the registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration  
of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does  
not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.  
Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is 0.1. The  
REN assigned to each terminal equipment provides an indication of the maximum number  
of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface  
may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the  
sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.  
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected  
to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be  
installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that  
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of services in some  
situations.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian mainte-  
nance facility designated by the Supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user  
to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company  
cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of  
the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are  
connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.  
Caution:  
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact  
the appropriate electrical inspection authority or electrician as appropriate.  
Your Cordless Phone is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by the FCC  
and IC. This means your Handset and Base Unit can communicate only over a certain  
distance - which will depend on the location of the Base Unit and Handset, weather,  
and the construction and layout of your home or office.
