Model Number KX-TGA271
2.4GHz Expandable Cordless Handset
Cordless handset
With the cordless handset facing you you will find the antenna. It is the narrow 2-inch long protrusion at the top
right. Just below the top of the front of the cordless handset is a shallow oval 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.
Below the display are three soft keys. Each soft key is used to select the function shown on the display directly
above it. During a conversation "PRIVACY" is displayed above the left soft key which works as the privacy
key.
In the center below these keys is a round concave key called the Navigator key. This key has four active areas:
the 12 o’clock 3 o’clock 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions. The 12 and 6 o’clock positions serve as the UP and
DOWN keys respectively. They are also used to control the volume during a call. The 3 and 9 o’clock positions
are the right and left arrow keys respectively. These are used to enter the directory list. The 3 o’clock position is
often used as the "Yes" key during programming.
To the left of the Navigator key is a small somewhat trapezoidal button called the TALK button; its lower edge
is defined by a small ridge. The thin button below the TALK button is the SPEAKERPHONE button. To the
right of the Navigator key is another small trapezoidal button. This is the OFF button and its lower edge is also
defined by a small ridge. The thin button below the OFF button is the HOLD button. The HOLD button serves as
the CLEAR INTERCOM or TRANSFER 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
CONFERENCE or FUNCTION button. The middle one is the FLASH or CALL WAIT button. The right-most
button is the PAUSE or REDIAL button.
The small indentation just below the FLASH button is the microphone. The two metal ridges at the bottom of the
cordless handset are the charge contacts.
