HANDSET
With the handset buttons facing you, you will find the antenna. It is the narrow, 2.8-inch long
protrusion at the top right. To the top left of the handset is the ringer indicator. Just below the top of
the front of the handset is a shallow oval concave. This is the earpiece. The smooth surface below the
earpiece is the display.
Below the display are two soft keys. Each soft key is used to select the function shown on the
display directly above it.
Below the soft keys, in the center of the handset, is a concave key called the Navigator key. The
Navigator key also works as a volume key.
To the left of the Navigator key, is an oval button called the TALK button with a “nib”. The TALK
button is also the Channel button.
To the right of the Navigator key, is an oval button called the OFF button.
The OFF button has a ridge in the center.
To the lower right of the Navigator Key, is the small oval MENU button. To the lower left of the
Navigator Key, is a small oval called the Speakerphone button. The Speakerphone button is also the
Channel button.
Below these buttons is the telephone keypad, which is laid out in the conventional telephone
arrangement, with a “nib” on the 5 button. Immediately below the keypad are three thin buttons. The
left-most button is the FLASH or the CALL WAIT button. The middle one is the REDIAL button.
The right-most button is the MUTE button.

The small indentation just below the REDIAL button is the microphone.
The two metal ridges at the bottom of the handset are the charge contacts.
Along the sides of the handset are two indentations that secure the belt clip. 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 handset.
With the handset still facing you, you will find the headset jack on the left side of the handset,
parallel to the TALK button. It has a rubber cover that can be opened by pulling down, and is not
removable.
Finally on the reverse side of the handset, to the top right is the ringer indicator. The textured area in
the center of the handset, is the handset speakerphone’s speaker. Just below the speaker is the battery
compartment with a notch. Its upper edge is parallel to the speakerphone button and the MENU
button.
BASE UNIT
With the base unit facing you, you will find antenna on the right side of the base unit. The antennas
can be easily rotated so that they always point upward, whether the unit is placed on a desk or is
wall-mounted. The handset cradle is located on the left side of the face of the base unit. The two
metal ridges on the bottom in the cradle are the charge contacts.
To the top right of the base unit is a large rectangular textured area. This is the base unit speaker.
Just below the speakerphone is a smooth raised circular area. At the center in the area, is the
CALLER IQ indicator. Below the CALLER IQ indicator is the VOICE MAIL button with an
indicator in the center.
Below this area is the keypad laid out in the conventional telephone arrangement with a nib on the
5 button. To the right of the telephone keypad are four oval buttons in a vertical column: the top one
is the REDIAL button. Below is the FLASH button, which also works as the CALL WAIT button.
The third one is the MUTE button. The fourth is the HOLD button.
To the lower right of the base unit, is the half-circle SP-PHONE button, which is slightly angled,
with an indicator on the upper left.
To the left of the SP-PHONE button, are three oval buttons in a horizontal line. The left one is the

the LOCATOR button are VOLUME buttons. Between the LOCATOR button and VOLUME
buttons is the IN USE or CHARGE indicator.
The base unit microphone is located at the bottom of the base unit just below the SP-PHONE button.
