ORIENTATION  
Front  
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

Front  
right of this are two triangular-shaped buttons, one facing  
upwards and the other, below it, facing downwards. These  
are the " / " scroll buttons. To the right of these buttons  
is another circular button with the letters OK on it (which is  
also tactile). This is the "OK/Confirm" button, which also acts  
as the "Call back" button.  
Below these buttons is another row (row two), with three  
circular-shaped buttons, all with a small recessed mark at  
the top of the button. The left button has the letters CID  
printed next to it, and this is the "Caller ID" button. The  
middle button has the word Menu printed above it, and this  
is the "Menu" button. The right button has the letters PB  
printed next to it, and this is the "Phone book" button.  
Below these three buttons is the number keypad in four  
rows of three buttons in the following sequence: 1, 2, 3; 4,  
5, 6; 7, 8, 9; Asterisk, 0, hash. (The number five is denoted  
by a small tactile dot).  
Below the keypad, and towards the bottom edge of the  
telephone are four, circular-shaped buttons, each with a  
semi-circular recess on one side of the button. They are  
from left to right as follows: The left button has a recess on  
the right side and has the word Boost below it. This is the  
"Boost" button to amplify the volume. The next button has a  
recess on the bottom edge and has the word Recall below it.  
This is the "Recall" button which is used for  
accessing network services, such as double calls, three-  
party conference calls and call transfer. The next button has  
a recess on the left side and has the word Redial below it.  
This is the "Redial" button, and when pressed, this calls the

last number dialled (stored in the memory). The button on  
the right of this row has a red LED situated at the top edge  
of the button and has the word Headset below it. This is the  
"Headset" button, which should be pressed to activate the  
telephone when making a call using a headset. The headset  
should be plugged into the top edge of the telephone.  
The last few buttons on the front of the telephone are  
situated on the right towards the edge. Towards the top of  
the telephone are three circular-shaped buttons, one above  
the other. Above these buttons are the letters Mem, and  
these are the three quick-dial memory buttons. The top  
button (memory one - M1) has one tactile dot on it, the  
middle button (memory two - M2) has two tactile dots on it,  
and the bottom of the three buttons (memory three - M3)  
has three tactile dots on it. Once a telephone number is  
programmed to one of these three buttons it can be dialled  
instantly by just pressing the button.  
Third Memory key labeled CS with the 3 dots  
is pre  
programmed with the Sonic Alert/ Geemarc customer service  
number. For customer service help or technical questions  
press this key to dial customer service.  
Directly below the third memory button is slightly larger  
round button with clock hands and markings at 12, 3, 6 and  
9 o'clock positions. This button when pressed will tell you  
the time and date.  
Below this button is the speaker button, and has a symbol of  
a speaker on it " ". It is used when you want to make  
hands-free calls. There is a small, red, LED light at the top  
of this button.

ORIENTATION  
Back  
Back  
On the back of the telephone you will feel four round, non-  
slip feet in each corner. There are two protruded oval-  
shaped parts, one located at the top part on the back of  
the telephone, in between the two non-slip feet. The other  
part is located about three inches below. Both of these  
protruding parts have a round recess. These parts attach  
to a screw if affixing the telephone to a wall.  
In between the other two non-slip feet on the back of the  
telephone is the battery compartment. A small, semi-  
circular clip can be felt at the top part of the compartment,  
and when this is pulled in towards the compartment, the lid  
can be removed away from the telephone to expose the  
battery compartment.  
On the left side on the back of the telephone is a small  
catch, that when pulled away from the telephone, removes  
the "Memo card cover" (full details included below under  
"right edge orientation").

Left edge  
On the left edge of the telephone is a slide-control. This is  
the "Volume control" for the  
.
Also on the left edge, but towards the base of the  
telephone is a small, square-shaped recess. This is the  
socket for the handset cord.  
Right edge  
On the right edge towards the top of the telephone is a  
two-way slide-switch. This is the "New Call LED On/Off"  
switch. When turned off this setting means the small LED  
light above the display will not flash, even when a new call  
has been received. This is useful if you would like to  
extend the life of the telephone's batteries.  
Towards the middle on the right edge of the telephone is a  
three-way slide-switch. This is the "Ringer volume" switch.  
There are three volume settings - the top setting is the  
loudest with the bottom setting being the quietest.  
Directly below the "Ringer" slide-switch is a small catch.  
Pull this catch out to reveal the "Memo card cover"  
(detailed above). This cover can be used for writing the  
names of the contacts stored in the quick-dial memories  
(M1-M3).

Please note: The features described in this section are  
only available if you subscribe to a Caller Display service  
from your network provider.  
Caller Display means you can establish who is calling  
before you answer a call or also who has called in your  
absence (provided the number is not withheld, unavailable  
or is an international call). If the number is stored in the  
phone book, the caller’s name will also be displayed.  
Whether you take a call or not, the caller’s details are  
stored in the Call log. The Call log stores the incoming  
calls. When the Call log memory is full, a new call will take  
the place of the oldest call. You can display, scroll through  
and dial numbers in the log. The sequence number is  
shown in the top right-hand side of the LCD display and  
the telephone will say: “End” when you reach the last  
record of the Call log.  
If the caller has exercised the option to prevent his number  
from being displayed, the word "PRIVATE" will be shown  
on the display and will also be announced by the  
telephone. If someone is calling from an area where the  
service provider is not offering the Caller display services  
or an area which is not providing name and number  
delivery to your area via the long distance network, "OUT  
OF AREA" will be announced and will also be shown on  
the LCD display. If a telephone number has not been seen  
previously, "NEW" will be displayed on the LCD display

on the LCD display:  
Time and date of the call, sequence number within the log,  
caller's number and caller's name.
