Digital Communications System

Comdial strives to design the features in our communications systems to
be fully interactive with one another. However, this is not always possible,
as the combinations of accessories and features are too varied and extensive
to insure total feature compatibility. Accordingly, some features identified
in this publication will not operate if some other feature is activated.
Comdial disclaims all liability relating to feature non-compatibility or
associated in any way with problems which may be encountered by
incompatible features. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
publication to the contrary, Comdial makes no representation herein as to
the compatibility of features.

is in its lowest position—flush against the pedestal.
•To adjust the pedestal,

lifting the rear portion of the telephone upward with your other
hand.
2. While pivoting the telephone upward with one hand, pivot the
telephone supporting arms upward with your other hand while
feeling for the notches under the telephone. Notice there are
three sets of notches under the telephone corresponding to the
three positions available.
3. When the telephone is at the desired height, find the closest
pair of notches and place the supporting arms in the notches.
Press down slightly on the telephone until you feel the
supporting arms snap into place.
