Call Log (Caller ID - Call Waiting)
Caller ID - Call Waiting ID
Your i 6773 is capable of displaying the number of the calling party before you answer the
phone (caller ID or CID). If the number is contained in the phonebook, the name of the caller
will also be displayed. It is also capable of displaying CID information in conjunction with a
call waiting alert signal (call waiting caller ID). With call waiting caller ID, the CID data is
displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or continue with your
current conversation. Your i 6773 can hold up to 50 CID entries.
NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALL WAITING CALLER ID
These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone service pro-
viders. You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of these features. If
you do not subscribe to CID services, you can still use your i 6773 and the other
features it offers.
Due to regional incompatibilities, CID 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.
When one handset is accessing the call log, the
other handsets cannot access it at the same time. If
this is attempted, NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME
will display on the other handset.
•
As new CID/call waiting ID records are received,
your handset displays will alert you to the new
CID records, for example:

About Mailboxes
This answering system has three voice mailboxes. Callers using a touch tone phone can
select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded by pressing 1, 2, or 3 while
the system plays the outgoing announcement. Otherwise, messages will be recorded in
mailbox 1.
About Announcements
•
You can record two different announcements - one for normal answering and one for
when you've set the system to play the announcement only.
•
Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers' messages. Use
announce only when you want to give information to callers without accepting mes-
sages.
•
•
If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with a pre-
recorded announcement.
The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: "Hello. I'm unable to an-
swer your call right now. Please leave your name, number and a message after the
tone." The announce only pre-recorded announcement says: "Hello, I'm unable to
answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank you."
•
By setting announce only to on or off, you decide which announcement your callers
will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set for normal answer-
ing, with announce only turned off). See Set Announce Only on page 24 to change
your announcement selection.
Record Your Announcement
If you have assigned different mailboxes to different people, be sure to tell callers in your
announcement to press 1, 2 or 3 to leave a message in the appropriate mailbox. Remem-
ber to leave a few seconds blank at the end of your recorded announcement to allow
callers having enough time to select a mailbox. An example of an announcement:
"Thank you for calling. To leave a message for Bob, press 1 now; to leave a message for
Sue, press 2 now; to leave a message for Elmo, press 3 now; or, wait for the beep and
leave your message."
The system will record your announcement for the currently selected answer mode
(normal or announce only). To confirm or change the answer mode, follow the directions
under Answering System Feature Setup and Feature Summary on pages 23 and 24.
1. With the system set for the desired answer mode
(normal or announce only) press MENU until you
hear "Record outgoing message."
2. Press REC/MEMO. After you hear "Now record-
ing" followed by a beep, speak toward the base
to record an announcement up to 90 seconds
long.
3. Press any MAILBOX button to stop recording.
The system plays back your recorded message.

Headset Operation
Your i 6773 handset is equipped with a 2.5mm headset jack for use with an optional
accessory headset for handsfree operation. If you choose to use the headset option,
you must obtain an optional accessory headset, which is compatible with the i 6773.
VTech Customer Service at 1-800-595-9511.
Once you have a compatible 2.5mm headset, locate the headset jack on the i 6773
handset. Connect the plug on the headset cord to the jack (under a small rubber flap)
on the cordless handset. The plug should fit securely. Do not force the connection.
NOTE:
Whenever a compatible headset is connected
to the cordless handset, the microphone on the
handset will be muted. This is done to limit the
effect of background noise.
When a compatible headset is connected to the
handset, your speakerphone feature will be
disabled. To use your speakerphone feature,
simply disconnect the headset from the handset.
Belt Clip
The i 6773 is also equipped with a detachable
belt clip. Align the pins on the inside edge of
the clip with the notches on the sides of the
handset. The belt clip should snap securely into
place. Do not force the connection.

In Case Of Difficulty
If you have difficulty operating your phone, the suggestions below should solve the
problem. If you still have difficulty after trying these suggestions, visit us on the web
Canada, call VTech Telecommunications Canada Ltd. at 1-800-267-7377.
The phone doesn't work at all
•
•
Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the
telephone wall jack.
•
Make sure the batteries are properly charged. If you get a LOW BATTERY message

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

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.

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. 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.
FCC and ACTA Information
If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July
23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
36
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations
rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the Part 68
rules and with Technical Requirements for Connection 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

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.

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

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

not exceed five.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be con-
nected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must
also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be

FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations
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.
