Call Log (Caller ID - Call Waiting)  
Caller ID - Call Waiting ID  
Your i 6783 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 6783 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 6783 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:  
HANDSET 1  
HANDSET 1  
After you review all new CID records, the NEW  
call indication will be turned off and the screen

Answering System Operation  
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  
announcement only when you want to give information to callers without accepting  
messages.  
If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with a pre-  
recorded announcement.  
The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says:"Hello, please leave a  
message after the tone." The announcement only pre-recorded announcement says:  
"We're sorry messages to this number cannot be accepted."  
By setting announcement 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  
answering, with announcement only turned off). See Set Announcement 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 announcement 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 announcement only) press MENU until  
you hear "Announcement. Press MAILBOX or  
press RECORD. To continue setup, press  
MENU."  
2. Press REC/MEMO. After you hear "Record after  
the tone. Press MAILBOX when you are done."  
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.

Answering System Operation  
This system automatically saves your messages until you delete them, and can store  
approximately 15 minutes of messages, memos and announcements (up to a  
maximum of 99 messages). A message or memo can be up to four minutes long.  
If the system has less than 30 seconds of recording time left, it automatically turns  
off. The system will still answer after 10 rings, announce "Memory is full. Enter  
remote access code." and wait for the caller to enter the code to access remote  
functions. (See Remote Access beginning on page 29 for details.)  
When you have new messages or memos, the MAILBOX light for each mailbox  
with new messages will flash.

ber of new messages and the number of  
old messages. The system then plays only  
new messages in the mailbox. After all  
new messages are played, press the  
MAILBOX button again to hear all (old)  
messages.  
Before each message or memo plays, the  
system announces the day and time it was  
received. While a message plays, the mes-  
sage window displays the number of that  
message.  
Press REPEAT/SLOW during playback to  
hear a message again. If you press  
REPEAT/SLOW twice in the first two  
seconds of a message, the system will  
backup to replay the previous message.  
Press SKIP/QUICK during playback to  
skip to the next message.  
Press and hold SKIP/QUICK or REPEAT/  
SLOW during message playback to speed  
up or slow down playback of a message.  
After playing the last message in a mailbox, the system announces "End of  
messages." If the system has less than five minutes of recording time left, it  
announces the remaining time.

Headset Operation  
Your i 6783 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 6783.  
VTech Customer Service at 1-800-595-9511.  
Once you have a compatible 2.5mm headset, locate the headset jack on the i 6783  
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 6783 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  
or indication, the batteries need charging.  
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.  
The layout of your home may be limiting the range. Try moving the base unit to  
another position.  
The handset does not ring when you receive a call  
Make sure you have the ringer activated. Refer to the section(s) on ringer  
selection in this user’s manual.  
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit and the  
telephone jack. Make sure the power cord is plugged in.  
You may be too far from the base unit.  
You may have too many extension phones on your telephone line to allow all of  
them to ring. Try unplugging some of the other phones.  
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.

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  
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 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 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  
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of ser-  
vices 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.

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.
