INTRODUCTION
Now that you know what your Model 8500 Phone can do, it’s time to start using it. In
this section, you’ll learn how to make and receive calls, transfer calls, retrieve voice
mail messages, and much more.
ADJUSTING YOUR PHONES VIEWING ANGLE
Your Model 8500 Phone has an adjustable base that allows you to tilt your phone to
enhance the viewing angle. There are two types of bases available on the phone, each
of which allow you to adjust the angle of the phone. Use the appropriate instructions
(listed below) to adjust the angle of your phone.
If your phone has a support mechanism that fits into holes on the base:
1. Position the bottom of the phone’s base on a flat surface.
2. Tilt the phone to the desired angle.
3. Place the “feet” of the support mechanism in the holes on the base to secure the
position of the phone.
If your phone has buttons located on the back to release the locking base:
1. Position the bottom of the phone’s base on a flat surface.
2. Press both buttons on the back of the phone to disengage the base’s locking
mechanism.
3. Tilt the phone to the desired angle.
4. Release both buttons to lock the base in place.
NOTE: If you position your phone’s viewing angle to 60 degrees or greater, it is recom-
mended that you flip the handset hanger down to the horizontal position.
