Operating Your Telephone

Clarity Power Technology

With the Clarity Power feature, the high frequency sounds are amplified more than the low frequency sounds so words are not just louder, but clearer and easier to understand.

Clarity Power On/Off Button

The Clarity 435 has a CLARITY POWER button that controls the loudness of the receiver. Once the CLARITY POWER button is pressed, an extra level of amplification is added over the entire range of the Volume Control. The default state of this button is determined by the BOOST ON/OFF switch (top end of base of unit, see below). During a call, the CLARITY POWER button can toggle the Clarity Power function on or off according to the user’s needs.

The TALK button will light ORANGE to indicate the CLARITY POWER feature is activated.

Boost On/Off Switch

This switch will enable/disable the reset feature of the Clarity Power button as follows:

ON- When the BOOST ON/OFF switch is set to “ON”, the Boost function (Clarity Power) will be ON every time a call starts, and will default to ON every time the phone hangs up for more than 5 seconds. During a call, the Clarity Power button can toggle the Clarity Power ON or OFF according to the user’s needs.

OFF- When the BOOST ON/OFF switch is set to “OFF”, the Boost function (Clarity Power) will be OFF every time a call starts, and the user needs to press the Clarity Power button in order to gain the extra level of amplification. If the phone hangs up for at least 5 seconds, the Clarity Power will reset to OFF. During a call, the Clarity Power button can toggle the Clarity Power function ON or OFF according to the user’s needs.

E N G

L I

WARNING: When the TALK button is lit ORANGE volume may be at a high level. To protect hearing, lower the volume control to minimum before using.

Volume Control

The volume control adjusts the level of volume the handset and headset receive. The volume dial provides up to 15 dB of volume amplification before the Clarity Power button is activated. Once the Clarity Power button is pressed, the Clarity 435 will provide up to 30dB of amplication.

Ringer Controls

Ringers and ringer controls are located in both the handset and the base of the Clarity 435.

Handset Ringer

Set the switch marked RINGER ON/OFF located on the side of the handset. The ringer switch must be set to ON for the handset to ring signaling an incoming call.

Visual Ringers

Visual ringers are located in both the handset antenna and the base of the telephone. When an incoming call is received, these lights will flash. The handset visual ringer will also stay lit while the phone is in use.

Headset Jack

A 2.5mm jack is located on the top of the telephone handset that can be used in conjunction with a headset.

While in headset mode, the volume of the headset is controlled by the telephone’s volume control and the handset’s earpiece and microphone are disabled.

Ordering a Headset

In the event you wish to purchase a headset for your Clarity 435, please contact Plantronics at 1-800-544-4660 for a location near you or visit www.plantronics.com

Flash

The FLASH button is activated to use custom calling services such as Call Waiting or Three Way Calling. Please contact your local telephone company for information on these services.

Mute

The MUTE button allows the user to conduct a private conversation that you do not want the person on the other end to hear. While in the mute mode, the TALK button will alter- nately flash RED/ORANGE and the microphone in the handset is disabled. Pressing the MUTE button again will disengage the

MUTE feature.

Redial/Pause

The RD/P button operates both the last number redial and the pause feature.

Operating Your Telephone

Last Number Redial:

The last number dialed (up to 22 digits) is stored in the redial memory until another number is dialed.

1. Press the TALK button.

2. When you hear the dial tone, press

the RD/P button.

3. The phone will automatically dial for you.

Pause Feature:

Programming in a pause will cause the phone to wait four (4) seconds before dialing additional numbers. This feature may be used when it is necessary to dial an access code (9, for example) and wait for a second dial tone before you can dial an outside number. Press the RD/P button at the required point during the memory storage process to program a pause.

Lighted Key Pad

The key pad will light for fifteen (15) seconds after removing the handset from the base. To reactivate the feature while in standby, press the TALK or the MEM button. To activate while the phone is in use, press any key.

To locate the handset if it is away from the base, press and hold the PAGE button for approximately five (5) seconds. A series of rings will sound for approximately six (6) seconds. Return the handset to the base or press the TALK button to cancel the page.

Channel Operation

When pressed, the channel (CH) automatically searches and selects the clearest of 40 channels.

Security Code

The security code prevents your cordless phone conversations from being accessed by a phone on a different line. Once the handset battery is fully charged, the handset will automatically select the code from over 65,000 different combinations. The code is changed every time the handset is placed in the cradle.

If you have trouble with placing or receiving calls, a lost security code may be the cause of the problem. When this occurs, the handset can no longer communicate with the base. Reset by placing the handset on the base for 5-10 seconds. If that does not work, unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet. Disconnect the handset battery for 5-10 seconds, and then reconnect. Place handset back on the base and then reinsert the AC adapter.

Exclusions from Warranty

This warranty applies only to defects in factory materials and factory workmanship.

Any condition caused by accident, abuse, misuse or improper operation, violation of instructions furnished by Walker, destruction or alteration, improper electrical voltages or currents, or repair or maintenance attempted by anyone other than Walker or an authorized service center, is not a defect covered

by this warranty. Telephone companies manufacture different types of equipment and Walker does not warrant that its equipment is compatible with the equipment of a particular phone company.

Implied Warranties

Under state law, you may be entitled to the benefit of certain implied warranties. These implied warranties will continue in force only during the warranty period. Some states do allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Incidental or Consequential Damages

Neither Walker nor your retail dealer or selling distributors has any responsibility for any incidental or consequential damages including without limitation, commercial loss or profit, or for any incidental expenses, expenses, loss of time, or inconvenience. Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damage, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

Other Legal Rights

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
