Calls Log
Caller ID - Call Waiting ID
Your i 5836 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 conjunction 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 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 5836 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 displays 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 Handset 2, that Handset will not count
the Caller ID information for that call as new. However, the other registered
Handset and 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, CALLS
LOG is highlighted, press OK. The Caller ID
information of the most recently received
call will be displayed. For example:

keys to make
your selection, and then press DIAL
or SPEAKERPHONE to dial the number.
Use the SAVE option to store the displayed Caller ID record into the
Phonebook. Only caller ID records with telephone numbers can be
saved into Speed Dial Memory. If you need to modify the number after
saving, see To Edit a Number/Name on page 38.

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 the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
•
To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of
radio frequency 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.

of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the Administrative Council
for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We are required to provide you with the
following information.
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 you do, please keep three things in mind:
a. We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory
card, so that you can still dial the emergency number manually if the memory
dialing feature doesn’t work.
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 maxi-
mum 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 equip-
ment 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
maintenance 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 equip-
ment.
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.
