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.  
AboutAnnouncements  
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  
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. I'm unable to  
answer 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 answering, with Announce Only turned off). See Set Announce  
Only on page 26 to change your announcement selection.  
Record Your Announcement  
NOTE: 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. Remember 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 25 and 26.  
1. With the system set for the desired answer mode (Normal or Announce  
Only) press MENU until you hear "Set Outgoing Message."  
2. Press REC/MEMO. After you hear "Now recording" followed by a beep,  
speak toward the base to record an announcement up to 90 seconds long.

Headset Operation  
Your ip 5850 Handset is equipped with a 2.5mm Headset Jack for use with an  
optional accessory Headset for hands-free operation. If you choose to use the  
Headset option, you must obtain an optional accessory Headset, which is com-  
patible with the ip 5850. For best results use a VTech 2.5 mm headset.  
To purchase a Headset, call VTech Customer Service at 1-800-595-9511.  
Once you have a compatible 2.5mm Headset, locate the Headset Jack on  
the ip 5850 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 cordless  
Handset, your Speakerphone  
feature will be disabled. To use  
your Speakerphone feature,  
simply disconnect the Headset  
from the Handset.  
Belt Clip  
The ip 5850 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 difficulties in operating your phone, the suggestions below should  
solve the problem. If you still have difficulties after trying these suggestions, call  
VTECH Communications at 1-800-595-9511. In Canada, call VTECH  
Telecommunications Canada Ltd. at 1-800-267-7377.  
The Phone Doesn’tWork 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 battery cells are properly charged. If you get aLOW BATTERY’  
message or indication, the battery cells need charging.  
No DialTone  
First check 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 AWeak Signal EvenWhenYou are NearThe  
Base Unit  
• Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the Base Unit can  
sometimes cause interference. Try to move the appliance or the Base Unit to  
another outlet.  
You Get Noise, Static, Or AWeak SignalWhenYou are Away FromThe  
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 to move the Base Unit  
to another position.  
The Handset Does Not RingWhenYou Receive A Call  
Make sure you have the ringers activated. Refer to the section(s) on Ringer  
Volume and Answering System Feature Setup in this User's Manual.  
Make sure the telephone 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 to unplug some of the other phones.  
You Hear Other CallsWhile UsingYour 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.

normally, then try to put the Handset in the cradle.  
If it does not seem to respond, do the following  
(in the order listed):  
1. Disconnect the power to the Base.  
2. Disconnect the Handset battery cells.  
3. Wait a few minutes.

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 UNTILYOU UNPLUGTHE POWER CORD  
AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit  
out by the unplugged cords.
