ORIENTATION

With the front of the telephone facing towards you, you will notice that there is a large LCD display towards the top end of the telephone. This display is almost the same width as the telephone and can be moved backwards and forwards from a horizontal position to a vertical stance of about 90- degrees. The display can be felt as it is slightly recessed from the outer case. Towards the top right corner of the display you will feel a small, raised, circular shape. This is a red LED light that flashes when a new call has been received (but only if you have subscribed to the Caller Display service from your network provider).

The specific details of the LCD display and what is shown is covered in more detail below, under Orientation: Display.

On the left of the telephone is the handset, and underneath this is the speaker. Just below the top part of the telephone cradle is a small hook. This can be rotated either clockwise or anti-clockwise, and should be turned 180-degrees if intending to wall mount the telephone. One

part of the hook is flat to touch and this should be used (facing towards top of telephone) in regular use. The hook should be rotated so the rounded edge is facing towards top of the telephone for wall mounting use. This will ensure that the handset stays in place when wall mounted.

The remaining space on the front of the telephone is covered by function buttons. Towards the top edge of the telephone, just below the LCD display, are a series of buttons in close proximity. This will be referred to as row one.

On the left (at the top) is a round button with the letter C on it (which is also tactile). This is the "Delete" button. To the
