Getting Started
Setup
As you register additional Handsets to the system, they will be assigned extension
numbers in the following order: HANDSET 2, HANDSET 3, etc.
Whenever charged Handset battery cells are installed, the Handset will automatically
begin Searching for Base... (if previously registered), or it will prompt you to Enter
Base ID to register the new Handset.
Charging of the Handset Battery Cells
The Handset of your i 5866 cordless telephone is powered by rechargeable battery cells.
They charge automatically whenever the Handset is in its Base Unit or charger. Maxi-
mum talk time on a full charge is 8 hours, and maximum standby time is 5 days.
You should charge the battery cells for 12 hours when you first receive your
phone. You’ll know the battery cells need charging when:
The low battery message is displayed:
The Handset seems completely dead, the LCD is
completely clear and does not activate when you press
the keys.
IMPORTANT:
1. Do not dispose of battery cells in a fire, the cells may explode.
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery cells. Toxic substances may be released,
causing harm to eyes or skin.
3. Be careful when handling battery cells in order to prevent an accidental short of
the charge contacts, potentially causing the battery cells to overheat.
4. Do not dispose of the battery cells into household garbage, properly recycle
the drained battery cells.
Connecting to Phone Line
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the jack on the bottom of the Base Unit. Plug
the other end of this cord into the wall jack.
Checking for Dial Tone
After the battery cells are charged press ON on the Hand-
set. The phone icon will appear on the Handset dis-
play, and you will hear dial tone. If not, see In Case of
