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.
