service. The i5866 from VTech is a 5.8 GHz cordless phone system with a number
of handy extras, including an all-digital answering system, and multi-user
expandability to eight handsets (one color-model included). The i5866 utilizes
the 5.8 GHz frequency and digital spread spectrum technology to provide clear,
accurate reception with less interference than traditional 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz
phones. The answering machine stores up to 15 minutes of messages split among
three mailboxes, while full remote operation allows you to check messages even
while you are away from home.
Caller ID/call waiting compatible, the i5866 has
a 50-number caller ID memory as well as a separate 50-name-and-number phone
directory to help you keep track of important contacts. You can select among
eight ring tones and 12 musical ringers, while the supplied audio patch cord
allows you to record custom ring tones.
The full-color handset LCD comes with six preset
images that you can assign to phone directory entries or set as background
wall-paper, while the included USB cable and image editor software allow you to
download custom images. Handset-to-handset call transfer allows you to route
incoming calls to any handset registered to the system, and three-way
conferencing lets you communicate with multiple parties at once. An intercom
feature provides a way to communicate between handset locations, and a global
page/handset function lets you speak with all handsets at once.
Additional features include flash, redial (last
10 numbers), and hold. A speakerphone on the handset combines with headset
compatibility to provide hands-free communication options. The NiMH battery
provides up to eight hours of talk time or up to five days on standby, while a
low-battery indicator lets you know when to return a handset to its charging
cradle. A handset control allows you to adjust volume levels.
