higher and lower volume levels. Press the end of the button to lower the volume and

(that looks like this ) represents higher and lower volume levels. Press the
lower end in place of the down arrow and the higher end in place of the up arrow.
•On the Professional, Associate, and Eclipse Basic Phones, arrows on the key represents

thumbwheels on the right-hand side of the phone.
•The other Inter-Tel phones have separate VOL UP and VOL DOWN keys.
NOTE: The volume adjustment button on the digital phones also can be used for scrolling

plays.
