receiver / put down the receiver Explanation: Hörer = receiver -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-13 04:30:40 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops! My reading was sloppy, on the other hand, the question is misleading: What\'s \'Hörer\' to do with keys? With mobiles the \'Hörer\' is the phone itself. It\'s still a \'receiver\' in the sense that that is what you put to your ear when communicating (rememver there is hands-free and PMCIA card mobile communication as well). The button with a receiver symbol is normally pressed to start the transmission (to call) of the dialled number, not to start talking/listening. So if yo\'re talking specifically about the buttons: see my new suggestion below -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-13 04:32:26 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops! I don\'t have to make a suggestion. I fully support Anja Brito\'s: CALL / END CALL 13 years in Germany |
