BOOST FUNCTION - AMPLIFY INCOMING
SOUNDS
1. While on a call, press the BOOST button to engage the ampli er. The
XL40D has a BOOST button that controls the loudness of the receiver. See
Figure 6. Once the BOOST button is pressed, an extra level of ampli cation
is added over the entire range of the Volume Control. During a call, the
BOOST button can toggle the Clarity Power function on or off according
to the user's needs. The BOOST button will reset automatically every time
the phone is hung up for at least 5 seconds. The BOOST light will illuminate
(blue) while the BOOST function is activated.
Warning: Volume may be at a high level. To protect hearing, lower
the Clarity Power Volume Control before using the phone.
2. Adjust the VOLUME slider to achieve the desired sound level (up to
50dB of ampli cation). The Clarity Power Volume Control adjusts the level
of volume the handset both in Boost or non-Boost modes. The volume dial
provides up to 16dB of volume before the BOOST button is activated. Once
the BOOST button is pressed, the XL40D will provide up to 50dB of gain.
See Figure 7.
3. Adjusting the TONE switch allows you to customize your hearing
experience. Since we all have different hearing preferences we suggest
exploring each setting to nd the one most comfortable for you. These four
settings, along with our volume ampli cation, are part of the Digital Clarity
Power (DCP™) technology. See Figure 8. The available settings are:
1- Low Frequency emphasis: best used to hear low pitched sounds;
2 - Flat frequency response: best for hearing aid users;
3 - Clarity Power/High frequency emphasis response: best used to
hear high frequency sounds;
4 - Multi Band Compression with high frequency emphasis response:
best setting for speech intelligibility.
