one hand AND RAISE the

with your other hand. (Notice there

3. When the telephone is at the desired height, SELECT the closest
pair of notches AND INSERT the supporting arms in the notches.
PRESS DOWN slightly on the telephone UNTIL you feel the
supporting arms snap into place.
Setting a Personal Ringing Tone and Volume
You can choose one of eight different ring tones for your telephone. Often, when
several telephones are located close together, each user chooses a different personal
ring tone.

controls the ringer volume. There is no handset volume control.
