Orientation

Front

With the front of the telephone facing towards you, you will

notice that there is a large LCD display towards the top

end of the telephone. This display is almost the same

width as the telephone and can be moved backwards and

forwards from a horizontal position to a vertical stance of

about 90-degrees. The display can be felt as it is slightly

recessed from the outer case. Towards the top right corner

of the display you will feel a small, raised, circular shape.

This is a red LED light that flashes when a new call has

been received (but only if you have subscribed to the

Caller Display service from your network provider).

The specific details of the LCD display and what is shown

is covered in more detail below, under Orientation: Display.

On the left of the telephone is the handset, and

underneath this is the speaker. Just below the top part of

the telephone cradle is a small hook. This can be rotated

either clockwise or anti-clockwise, and should be turned

180-degrees if intending to wall mount the telephone. One

part of the hook is flat to touch and this should be used

(facing towards top of telephone) in regular use. The hook

should be rotated so the rounded edge is facing towards

top of the telephone for wall mounting use. This will ensure

that the handset stays in place when wall mounted.

The remaining space on the front of the telephone is

covered by function buttons. Towards the top edge of the

telephone, just below the LCD display, are a series of

buttons in close proximity. This will be referred to as row

one.

On the left (at the top) is a round button with the letter C on

it (which is also tactile). This is the "Delete" button. To the

right of this are two triangular-shaped buttons, one facing

upwards and the other, below it, facing downwards. These

are the " /" scroll buttons. To the right of these

buttons is another circular button with the letters OK on it

(which is also tactile). This is the "OK/Confirm" button,

which also acts as the "Call back" button.

Below these buttons is another row (row two), with three

circular-shaped buttons, all with a small recessed mark at

the top of the button. The left button has the letters CID

printed next to it, and this is the "Caller ID" button. The

middle button has the word Menu printed above it, and this

is the "Menu" button. The right button has the letters PB

printed next to it, and this is the "Phone book" button.

Below these three buttons is the number keypad in four

rows of three buttons in the following sequence: 1, 2, 3; 4,

5, 6; 7, 8, 9; Asterisk, 0, hash. (The number five is denoted

by a small tactile dot).

Below the keypad, and towards the bottom edge of the

telephone are four, circular-shaped buttons, each with a

semi-circular recess on one side of the button. They are

from left to right as follows: The left button has a recess on

the right side and has the word Boost below it. This is the

"Boost" button to amplify the volume. The next button has

a recess on the bottom edge and has the word Recall

below it. This is the "Recall" button which is used for

accessing network services, such as double calls, three-

party conference calls and call transfer. The next button

has a recess on the left side and has the word Redial

below it. This is the "Redial" button, and when pressed,

this calls the last number dialled (stored in the memory).

The button on the right of this row has a red LED situated

at the top edge of the button and has the word Headset

below it. This is the "Headset" button, which should be

pressed to activate the telephone when making a call

using a headset. The headset should be plugged into the

top edge of the telephone.

The last few buttons on the front of the telephone are

situated on the right towards the edge. Towards the top of

the telephone are three circular-shaped buttons, one

above the other. Above these buttons are the letters Mem,

and these are the three quick-dial memory buttons. The

top button (memory one - M1) has one tactile dot on it, the

middle button (memory two - M2) has two tactile dots on it,

and the bottom of the three buttons (memory three - M3)

has three tactile dots on it. Once a telephone number is

programmed to one of these three buttons it can be dialled

instantly by just pressing the button.

Directly below the third memory button is slightly larger

round button with clock hands and markings at 12, 3, 6

and 9 o'clock positions. This button when pressed will tell

you the time and date.

Below this button is the speaker button, and has a symbol

of a speaker on it " ". It is used when you want to make

hands-free calls. There is a small, red, LED light at the top

of this button.

Back

On the back of the telephone you will feel four round, non-

slip feet in each corner. There are two protruded oval-

shaped parts, one located at the top part on the back of

the telephone, in between the two non-slip feet. The other

part is located about three inches below. Both of these

protruding parts have a round recess. These parts attach

to a screw if affixing the telephone to a wall.

In between the other two non-slip feet on the back of the

telephone is the battery compartment. A small, semi-

circular clip can be felt at the top part of the compartment,

and when this is pulled in towards the compartment, the lid

can be removed away from the telephone to expose the

battery compartment.

On the left side on the back of the telephone is a small

catch, that when pulled away from the telephone, removes

the "Memo card cover" (full details included below under

"right edge orientation").

Left edge

On the left edge of the telephone is a slide-control. This is

the "Volume control" for the .

Also on the left edge, but towards the base of the

telephone is a small, square-shaped recess. This is the

socket for the handset cord.

Right edge

On the right edge towards the top of the telephone is a

two-way slide-switch. This is the "New Call LED On/Off"

switch. When turned off this setting means the small LED

light above the display will not flash, even when a new call

has been received. This is useful if you would like to

extend the life of the telephone's batteries.

Towards the middle on the right edge of the telephone is a

three-way slide-switch. This is the "Ringer volume" switch.

There are three volume settings - the top setting is the

loudest with the bottom setting being the quietest.

Directly below the "Ringer" slide-switch is a small catch.

Pull this catch out to reveal the "Memo card cover"

(detailed above). This cover can be used for writing the

names of the contacts stored in the quick-dial memories

(M1-M3).
