Handset

With the handset facing you, you will find the antenna. It is the narrow, 2-inch long protrusion at the top right.

Just below the top of the front of the handset is a shallow oval concave. This is the earpiece. The smooth surface

below the earpiece is the display; its upper edge is defined by a small ridge in the center of the handset below the

earpiece.

Below the display are three soft keys. Each soft key is used to select the function shown on the display directly

above it. In the standby mode, "PLAY" is above the right soft key, and works as the message playback key.

During a conversation, "PRIVACY" is displayed above the left soft key, which works as the privacy key.

In the center below these keys is a round, concave key called the Navigator key. This key has four active areas:

the 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions. The 12 and 6 o’clock positions serve as the UP and

DOWN keys, respectively. They are also used to control the volume during a call. The 3 and 9 o’clock positions

are the right and left arrow keys, respectively. These are used to enter the directory list. The 3 o’clock position is

often used as the "Yes" key during programming.

To the left of the Navigator key, is a triangular button with a raised "nib" called the TALK button. The thin

button below the TALK button is the SPEAKERPHONE button. To the right of the Navigator key, is another

triangular button with a raised "ridge". This is the OFF button. The thin button below the OFF button is the

HOLD button. The HOLD button serves as the INTERCOM or CLEAR button.

Below these buttons is the telephone keypad, which is laid out in the conventional telephone arrangement, with a

"nib" on the 5 button. Immediately below the keypad are three thin buttons. The left-most button is the

CONFERENCE or FUNCTION button. The middle one is the FLASH or CALL WAIT button. The right-most

button is the PAUSE or REDIAL button.

The small indentation just below the FLASH button is the microphone. The two metal ridges at the bottom of the

handset are the charge contacts.

With the handset still facing you, you will find the headset jack on the left side of the handset, parallel to the

SPEAKERPHONE button. It has a rubber cover that can be opened by pulling down, and is not removable.

Finally, on the reverse side of the handset is a circular, textured area, which is the speakerphone’s speaker.

Base unit

With the base unit facing you, you will find antennas on the left and right sides of the unit. The antennas can be

easily rotated so that they always point upward, whether the unit is placed on a desk or is wall-mounted.

The handset’s charging cradle is about 2 inches wide and 1 inch deep, as is located on the lower left corner of the

unit. To the lower right of the charging cradle is the battery charge indicator light. The handset is placed in the

cradle with the handset's buttons facing the front of the base. The unit will beep when the handset is properly

placed in the cradle for charging. The rectangular textured area, toward the back of the unit above the cradle is

the speaker.

To the right of the speaker is a smooth rectangular depression. This is the display.

Below the display is the telephone keypad. The keypad is laid out in the conventional telephone arrangement

with a "nib" on the 5 button. Below the keypad are 3 thin buttons. The left-most is the LOCATOR button, and an

indicator light is to the left. The LOCATOR button also serves as the INTERCOM or TRANSFER button. The

middle button is the CONFERENCE button, and the right-most button is the HOLD button.

To the right of these buttons you will find a larger button, which is the DIGITAL SPEAKERPHONE button. It

has an indicator light above it and to the left. Above the DIGITAL SPEAKERPHONE button, to the right of the

keypad are four thin buttons in a vertical row. The bottom button is the MUTE button with an indicator light to

the upper left. Above it is the FLASH or CALL WAIT button. Next is the PAUSE or REDIAL button. The top

button is the PRIVACY button.

To the right of the display is a row of three buttons. The left-most button is the GREETING button. Immediately

to the right is the similar-sized MEMO button. To the right of these buttons is a button shaped like a triangle

pointing left. This is the ANSWER ON button, with an indicator light to the upper left.

Below the ANSWER ON button is a row of three round buttons. From left to right, they are the MAILBOX 1,

MAILBOX 2 and MAILBOX 3 buttons. Once the Answering System is activated, these three buttons control

mailbox features such as recording and playing back messages.

Directly below the MAILBOX buttons is a large, round concave key called the Navigator key. This key has four

active areas: the 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions. The 12 and 6 o’clock positions serve as

the UP and DOWN keys, respectively. They are also used to control the volume during a call. The 3 and 9

o’clock positions are the right and left arrow keys, respectively. These are used to enter the directory list. The 3

o’clock position is often used as the "Yes" key during programming.

To the upper left of the Navigator key is the STOP button. To the upper right is the FUNCTION or EDIT button.
