Cordless Handset 
 
With the cordless handset buttons facing you, the antenna is a narrow 2.6 inch long protrusion on the top right. Just 
below the top on the front of the cordless handset is a shallow concave. This is the earpiece. The smooth surface 
below the earpiece is the display, its upper edge is defined by a small ridge in the center of the cordless handset 
below the earpiece. Immediately below the display, in the  center of the cordless handset, is the NAVIGATOR KEY, 
which is a large circular control with  a corss-shaped concave and four activ e areas. The active areas are at the 12 
o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock, and 9 o’clock positions. The 12 and 6 o’clock positions are the UP and DOWN keys 
and also control volume during a call. The 3 and 9 o’clock positions are the RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys. The 3 
o’clock position is often used as “Yes” key during programming. These keys are also the EDIT and CHANNEL keys 
respectively.  
 
To the upper left of the NAVIGATOR KEY, an oval button with a clipped edge is the TALK button. The oval button 
below the TALK button is the MUTE button. The MUTE button is also the FUNCTION button. To the upper right of 
the NAVIGATOR KEY, an oval button is the OFF button. The oval button below the OFF button is the CLEAR 
button. The CLEAR button is also the INTERCOM or HOLD button.  
 
Below these buttons is the keypad laid out in the conventional telephone arrangement with a “nib” on the 5 button.

PLAYBACK button. On the lower right of the keypad is the REDIAL button. The REDIAL button is also the 
PAUSE button.  
						

							 
The indentation between the FLASH button and the REDIAL button is the microphone. 
Along the sides of the cordless handset are two indentations, which are parallel to the small ridge below the earpiece, 
that secure the belt clip. The belt clip is a T-shaped plastic piece with two curved arms and one long arm. The belt 
clip snaps into place with the small ridges on the curved arms  locking into each of the indentations on the side of the 
cordless handset.  
 
Further down the left side of the cordless handset, to the upper left of the TALK button, is the headset jack covered 
with a little round rubber cap. This cap can be opened from front to back, and is not removable.  
 
The 2 metal ridges at the bottom of the sides of the cordless handset are the charge contacts. 
 
The battery compartment is on the back of the cordless handset (behind the keypad). Its upper edge is parallel to the 
TALK button and the OFF button. The battery door can be opened by inserting a flat metal object in the slot on the 
bottom of the cordless handset and pushing forward to release the lock.

four round buttons. The left-most one is the FUNCTION button. The FUNCTION button is also the EDIT button.

control with concave and four active areas. The active areas are at the 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock, and 9 o’clock  
						

							positions. The 12 and 6 o’clock positions are the UP and DOWN keys and also control volume up and down during a 
call. The 3 and 9 o’clock positions are the RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys. The 3 o’clock position is often used as 
“Yes” key during programming. 
 
Below these four buttons is a row of the three round buttons: The left one is the DIRECT 1 button, the middle one is 
the DIRECT 2 button, and the right one is the DIRECT 3 button.

On the back edge of the charger is the AC adaptor alread y connected. The top of the charger has a large hole in the 
center and slants down toward the front.  
 
The hole is the cordless handset’s charging cradle which  is about 2.4 inch wide and 2 inch deep. The two plastic 
ridges on the sides are the charge contacts for the cordless handset. 
 
The cordless handset stands upright in the cradle with the  buttons facing the front. The unit beeps when the cordless 
handset is set properly in the cradle for charging. Just below the cradle is the CHARGE indicator light.
