Finding the Controls
Handset
The control panel of the handset is divided into two parts: front and back.
Front:
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 INTERCOM 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 FLASH button is also the PLAYBACK button.
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.
Back:
The smooth surface at the top of the handset is the display. Immediately below the display are four oval
buttons in a horizontal row: from left to right, EXIT, EDIT, CLEAR and CALL WAIT. Below these
buttons are two triangular SEARCH buttons. The right one is UP, and the left one is DOWN.
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.
