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 button s 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 handsets 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.  
						

							 
Left part: 
This part contains the telephone keypad laid out in the conventional telephone arrangement with a “nib” 
on the 5 button. Below the keypad are three circular buttons in a horizontal row: from left to right, 
FLASH, REDIAL and PAUSE. 
 
Middle part: 
At the top middle part of the panel is a smooth surface. This is the display. Immediately below the display 
are two buttons: on the left is the HANDSET LOCATOR button and on the right is the AUTO ANSWER 
button. Below the HANDSET LOCATOR are two more buttons: the oval one on the left is the MENU 
button and the round one on the right is the HELP button. Below the MENU button, the long rectangular 
button with a clipped right edge is the MONITOR button. To the right of these buttons is the 
NAVIGATOR control, which is a large cross key with four active areas. The active areas are the 12 
o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions. The 12 and 6 o’clock positions are PLUS and 
MINUS keys respectively. These are also the VOL UME control increase and decrease. The 3 and 9 
o’clock positions are the RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys.   
 
Right part: 
This part is a vertical row of controls. At the top is the CALLER ID button. The middle two ovals are the 
STOP button and the COPY button. The STOP button is marked with an indented triangle. The COPY 
button is marked with an indented page icon. The large FAX START button with a “nib”, which is also
