Description

This cellular phone is a dark grey Ultra Classic II by Motorola marked with CALIFORNIA MOBILE PHONE on the bottom front of the phone. The top front of the phone includes a black covered LED display box that is positioned above three orange preset number buttons and the standard twelve numbered dialing buttons with their corresponding letter groupings as well as # and * buttons. Below the buttons used for dialing are nine function buttons labeled RCL, CLR, SND, STO, FCN, END, PWR, LOCK, and VOL.

The phone includes a 7.5V Nickel-Cadmium battery that can be removed by toggling a small lever on the bottom of the phone's body. Once the battery is removed, detailed instructions for the use of all function buttons may be accessed on the back of the device. Model number 89036DACBA and FCC ID IHDT5TN2 are also printed in this location.

The phone includes an antenna, but it is missing the protective rubber cover that was originally included at the time of manufacture.
