2.4GHz Expandable Cordless Handset
Charger unit
The  cordless  handset’s  charging  cradle  is  the  recessed  area  about  2  inches  wide  and  1  inch  deep,  located  on  the
left of the unit. Below it is the battery charge indicator light.  The cordless handset is  placed in the cradle with the
cordless  handsets  buttons  facing  the  front  of  the  base.  The  unit  will  beep  when  the  cordless  handset  is  properly
placed  in  the  cradle  for  charging.  The  rectangular  area,  to  the  right  of  the  cradle,  in  the  center  of  the  unit,  is  the
speaker.
Above  the  speaker,  directly  on  the  top  of  the  unit,  are  2  thin  buttons.  On  the  left  is  the  ALARM  DISPLAY/SET
button  for  the  RADIO.  On  the  right  is  the  ALARM  DISPLAY/SET  button  for  the  BUZZER.  These  2  alarm
buttons  allow  you  to  set  or  display  the  time  used  for  alarm  clock  features,  such  as  playing  the  radio  or  sounding
the buzzer. To the right of these buttons is a larger thin button. This is the SNOOZE or MUTE button.
Below the SNOOZE button is a smooth rectangular depression. This is the display.
Below the display you will find, 2 thin buttons. These are the TUNE/CLOCK buttons. The left one is used to
adjust the time backward when setting the clock or alarm, or to select a lower frequency when tuning in a radio
station. The right button is used to adjust the time forward when setting the clock or alarm, or to select a higher
frequency when tuning in a radio station.
Below these buttons is a row of 5 thin buttons. From left to right, they are the Memory 1 through Memory 5
buttons. These are used to assign or select your favorite radio stations.
To the left of these buttons, there are 3 small, round buttons. The left-most is the OFF button. It is the button
with the small depression in the middle. To the right of the OFF button is the SLEEP button. It is used to turn the
radio off after a set time. The right-most button is the AM/FM, RADIO button, which is used to switch between
the AM and FM bands or to turn the radio on.
With the unit still facing you, you will find 2 thin buttons located just below the upper-right corner of the unit on
its right side. The top button is the ALARM ON/OFF button for the RADIO. The bottom button is the ALARM
ON/OFF button for the BUZZER. Below these buttons is the traditionally notched VOLUME control. To turn
the volume up, rotate the VOLUME control toward the back of the unit. To turn the volume down, rotate the
VOLUME control toward the front. Toward the back of the unit, to the right of the VOLUME control, is the
TIME SET button.
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.
With the cordless handset still facing you, you will find the headset jack on the left side of the cordless 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 cordless handset is a circular, textured area, which is the speakerphone’s
speaker.
