Orientation
Front
On the left side of the telephone is the handset cradle. When the handset is not resting in the cradle you will notice the following: Directly below the top handset recess is a small, ribbed, removable insert. This is the handset hook (see the Wall mounting section for more details).
Underneath this is the speaker, and below the speaker is the handset rotary volume control, and below the volume control are two small black buttons. The button on the left has the letter R printed on it and this is the Flash/programming button. The button on the right is the Redial button.
At the top edge of the telephone, you will notice a green call-indicator light. This illuminates when a call is incoming.
Below the green call indicator light are three rectangular memory buttons. Pictures can be inserted into these buttons so a contact can be easily recognised by a person’s picture, and the number can then be dialled at the touch of a button.
Please note: A telephone number must be assigned to the button before it can be used.
Below the rectangular memory buttons is the numeric keypad, with large, easy-to-see black buttons with white numbers and symbols. The first row of three buttons from left to right is 1, 2 and 3. The second row is 4, 5 (has a small tactile dot) and 6 and the third row is 7, 8 and 9. The fourth and last row is Star (*), 0 and Hash (#).
Back
There are four, round, non-slip feet. One in each corner. The two towards the top edge are higher. These feet prevent the phone from slipping while on a smooth, flat surface.
In between the top two non-slip feet, located near the top edge is a raised area with a hole. This is used for attaching the telephone to a wall fixing.
To the right of the wall fixing are two slide-switches, one above the other. The top switch can be moved to two positions. The left setting has the letter R, and the right setting has an arrow symbol pointing into a diamond shape. This switch is used when programming the numbers into the three memory buttons.
The lower slide-switch has three settings and has the numbers 100/300/600 printed above it. The 100 is the left position, 300 the middle, and 600 the right. This is the flash switch and should be set to the left (100) position for customers in the UK.
Located just above the two lower non-slip feet are two recessed areas about an inch from the edge. The recess on the right is shaped like the letter L, whereas the left recess is shaped like a reversed letter L. In between these two recesses is a clip. These three parts are all used when attaching the supplied wall fixing.
Right edge
Position the phone so the front is facing you. On the right edge is a slide-switch with three bell symbols above it. This is the ring signal volume. The top of the three settings is the loudest, the middle setting is quieter, and the lowest setting is no sound.
Left edge
On the left edge about halfway up is a square hole. This is the socket for the handset cord.
Top
On the top edge, within a recess, is a square-shaped socket. This is for the telephone line cable.

Technical information

Hints and Tips
If you are unable to make or receive calls, check that the telephone cord is undamaged and properly plugged in. Disconnect any additional equipment, extension cords and other phones. If the problem is resolved, the fault is with some other equipment. Test the equipment on a known working line (e.g. at a neighbour’s house). If the equipment works there, the fault is probably with your telephone line. Please report this to your network operator.
If you are still experiencing difficulties, please contact the RNIB helpline.
