Finding the Controls
Handset
With the handset facing you, the antenna is a narrow, 2-and-a-half inches long protrusion at the top right.
Just below the top, on the front of the handset is a shallow circular concave. This is the earpiece. Below
the earpiece are three buttons in a horizontal row: the circular one on the left is the TALK button, the
middle one is the AUTO button, and the right one is the DIRECT button. Below these buttons is the
telephone keypad laid out in the conventional telephone arrangement with a “nib” on the 5 button.
Immediately below the keypad are four circular buttons in a horizontal row: from left to right, REMOTE
SPEAKER-PHONE, FLASH, LOUD and REDIAL. The LOUD button is also the RINGER button. The
REDIAL button is also the PAUSE button. Below the REMOTE SPEAKER-PHONE button is the
PROGRAM button. Below the REDIAL button is the FAX button. Below the FAX button is the
CHANNEL button. The 3 metal ridges at the bottom of the handset are the charge contacts. The headset
jack is on the right side edge of the handset, at almost the same height as the top row of the buttons. It has
a rubber cover that is opened from front to back, and is not completely removable.
Base unit
With the base unit facing you, the antenna should be straight up on the left side, towards the back of the
unit. The handset's charging cradle is on the left of the base unit. This is a deep depression near the front.
For charging, the bottom of the handset gets put into the cradle with the handset buttons facing up.
The handset must be placed in the cradle in an upright position. The unit will beep when the handset is
properly placed in the cradle for charging.
The control panel of the base unit is divided into three equal parts: left, middle, and right.
