- Page 20 CHAPTER 7 - HOW TO SHOW Off ORCON GENIUS The Orcon Genius device is sleek and stylish so we don’t blame you for wanting to show it off. There are a few different ways to display the device and the Orcon Genius handset (only if you have purchased the non-Lite version). Flat as a tack Orcon Genius can sit fl at on a desk or table. You won’t need the stand that is supplied so store it away. The Orcon Genius handset cradle can stand up on a desk or table - just plug the supplied power cord into the cradle and clip on the stand. The cradle should now stand upright, allowing the Orcon Genius handset to sit tall and pretty. (Not with Genius Lite) Orcon Genius stands tall Orcon Genius comes with a stand that allows you to sit him up on a desk or table. When attaching the stand, remember to line up the pins on the stand with the four outside holes on the back of Orcon Genius. Apply a small amount of downward pressure and push the stand up to lock it in. (Not with Genius Lite) ORC0084 Genius Set Up Booklet_FN v2.indd 20 20/07/11 9:00 AM...
- Page 21 Things are better when we’re together (not with Genius Lite) To display Orcon Genius and the handset as one unit, they need to be attached to each other. To do this: 1. L ay the modem and the handset charger face down (on a protective cloth - to prevent scratches). Slide out the upper and lower connection points on the back left hand side of the charger. This will expose the USB charger point and location pins (figure 1). 2. L eaving the handset charger and Orcon Genius facing down, slide them together so you can locate the handset USB charger into Orcon Genius as shown below (you may notice lower slider does not move all the way across – this is normal) (figure 2). 3. N ow take the large stand that was supplied in the modem box and pass the cables through in the format below. The example below shows the power cable, the ADSL phone cable and an Ethernet LAN cable (figure 3). 4. Next align the stand over the top of the handset and Orcon Genius (figure 4). 5. M ake sure all the pins on the stand are sitting inside the holes on the handset and Orcon Genius and apply a small amount of downward pressure; whilst at the same time push the stand upward toward the top edge of the modem. You will hear a small click as the pins interlock (figure 5).
