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 flat 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.

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.
