Its a telephone & you use it much as you would a RL phone. The keys operate as expected (no dialog boxes, you click the actual keys).

Making Calls
---------------
1. Dial or select (see later) your number
2. Click the speaker button or the handset to make the call
- If you use the speaker then when connected anyone may chat & what they say is transmitted to the receiver
- If you have picked up the handset it becomes a private call from your end and you get a text box (dialog) to say things
3. When finished hang up by clicking where the handset goes (if you picked it up) or the speaker button

Note: if the call is unanswered the phone automatically resets after about 60 seconds

Receiving Calls
------------------
1. Click the speaker button or the handset to accept the call
- If you use the speaker then when connected anyone may chat & what they say is transmitted to the receiver
- If you have picked up the handset it becomes a private call from your end and you get a text box (dialog) to say things
2. When finished hang up by clicking where the handset goes (if you picked it up) or the speaker button

During a call you may:-
1. Mute/Unmute the microphone/handset
2. Switch between speaker and handset
- Speaker to handset - click the phone (once)
- Handset to speaker - click the speaker button (once)
- Note: a 2nd click terminates the call
3. Adjust volume (doesn't really affect the chat but does change the sound effect volumes & range people are away from the phone to be heard)

Address book functions
----------------------------
You may enter a number and save it in the address book using the "Mail" button (looks like an envelope).
You may call up the address book by clicking the "Address" button (looks like an open book). This displays entries on the screen which may be scrolled up/down using the scroll buttons (middle of phone) or clicking a displayed entry. To make a call scroll so the number you wish to call is at the top then follow the "Making Calls" instructions from step 2.

Handset
----------
When you click the handset a separate one is rezzed which attaches to your right hand and runs a suitable animation. This is only for appearance and does not affect any actual calls being made.

To put the handset down just click where the handset should go on the phone (clicking the phone in your hand does nothing).
