General Information
The TeleZapper feature in your i 5807 cordless telephone is a patented device that helps
eliminate many of those annoying telemarketing calls.
• The TeleZapper feature in your i 5807 covers all the telephones and answering
machines connected to that phone line in your home or office.
• When you or your answering machine picks up the phone, the TeleZapper emits
a special tone that fools the computer into thinking your number is disconnected.
• Instead of connecting you to a salesperson, the computer drops the call and
stores your number as disconnected in its database.
• As your number is eliminated from more and more lists, those annoying
computer generated calls just about stop altogether.
• The TeleZapper won’t interfere with manually dialed calls, or with answering
machines, Caller ID or Call Waiting features.
• Once you’ve activated the TeleZapper feature in your i 5807, keep in mind
that if you answer your telephone and there’s no one there, the odds are that
you just “zapped” a telemarketer. After a few weeks, you’ll notice that you are
receiving fewer and fewer of these calls.
• The TeleZapper even works with your answering machine to “zap”
telemarketers when you are away or when you prefer not to answer the phone.
When your answering machine pick up a call for you, the TeleZapper emits its
special tone to “zap” the telemarketer. We recommend that you re-record
your message and delay speaking for a few seconds to allow time for the
TeleZapper tone prior to the start of your recorded message.
Programming Instructions
The TeleZapper feature in your i 5807 has two levels of privacy to help “zap” computer
dialed telemarketing calls. Your i 5807 is shipped with the BASIC level of privacy acti-
vated, which will help with the majority of telemarketing calls. At this level, the TeleZapper
feature will emit a single tone, which is the first of three (3) tones for the disconnected
signal. The ADVANCED level of privacy will switch the TeleZapper feature to all three
tones of the disconnected signal and will “zap” even more telemarketing calls. To switch
from BASIC to ADVANCED privacy or to disable the feature:
1. Press PROG/CHAN, then the key until the screen displays

TeleZapper Q&A:
Q. How does the TeleZapper feature work?
A. The TeleZapper uses the technology of telemarketers’ automatic dialing equipment
against them. When you or your answering machine picks up a call, the TeleZapper
emits a special tone that “fools” the computer into thinking your number is discon-
nected.
