Note that the little "antenna" stubs in both the handset and base are dummies and the real antennas are etched into the boards near the top right of each picture.

The three-line side-lit LCD display was readable from a wide range of angles. But with only 16 characters availble on each of the bottom two lines of the display, long names are truncated.
