1.2 Adusting Your Telephone’sPedestal (Model 8201N only)

An adjustable pedestal is provided on your telephone to allow you to select the most comfortable viewing angle. When you receive your telephone, it will be in its lowest position — down flush against the pedestal. You can raise your telephone to one of three higher positions as follows:

1. Grasp the rear of the pedestal base firmly with one hand while lifting the rear portion of the telephone upward with your other hand.

2. While pivoting the telephone upward with one hand, pivot the telephone supporting arms upward with your other hand while feeling for the notches under the telephone. Notice that there are three sets of notches under the telephone corresponding to the three positions available.

3. When the telephone is at your desired height, find the closest pair of notches corresponding to that height, and engage the supporting arms with the notches. Press down slightly on the telephone until you feel the supporting arms snap into place.
