INTRODUCTION TO CLARITY POWER
Clarity Power™ Technology
Clarity P
ower not only makes calls louder, but also easier to understand. The patented Clarity Power technology amplifi es and shapes high frequencies to enhance communications for the millions of people who experience high frequency hearing loss, the most common type of hearing loss.
The Clarity C35 has a maximum amplifi cation level of 40dB louder than a regular telephone when the included batteries are inserted. This combined with Clarity Power enhances the sounds being heard through the telephone line, resulting in comfortable and enjoyable conversations.
Clarity Power BOOST Button
The C35 has a BOOST button that controls the loud-
BOOST
VOLUME
ness of the receiver. See Figure A. Once the BOOST button is pressed, an extra level of amplifi 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 while the BOOST function is activated. See Page 13.
Warning: Volume may be at a high level. To protect
hearing, lower the Clarity Power Volume Control before using the phone.

TROUBLESHOOTING
No Dial Tone/Phone Will Not Operate
1. Check all phone cords and connections. Make sure they are plugged in securely.
2. Plug unit into a different phone jack to help determine if the diffi culty is with the phone or the phone jack.
3. Switch out handset or telephone line cords.
4. Disconnect any other equipment that may be attached to the phone.
Unable To Dial Out
1. Make sure TONE/PULSE switch is set correctly.
2. Phone may be at the end of a long line of phones (loop). Phone may not be getting enough power from the phone line. It may be necessary to wait for a few seconds after lifting the handset to begin dialing.
3. The C35 is not compatible with Digital PBX Systems. If a standard, single line phone works on the system, your C35 should also.
The Person On The Other End Cannot Hear You
1. Too many phones or phone devices on the line may effect your phone’s transmission. As a guideline, more than fi ve (5) phones or phone devices may overload the phone line. Disconnect one (1) or two (2) devices to see if that eliminates the problem. If not, contact your local phone company for load guidelines.
2. You may not be speaking directly into the transmitter. Always speak directly into the mouth piece in your normal tone of voice.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Unable To Hear Phone Ringer
1. Too many phone or phone devices on a line may cause your phone to not ring. Disconnect one (1) or two (2) of the devices to see if the problem is eliminated. If not, contact your local phone company for load guide lines.
2. If batteries are not placed in the phone, the extra loud ringer, will not work.
Volume Control Does Not Work
BOOST must be activated to turn on the additional amplifi cation.
Static On The Line
1. Your phone may be located near a touch lamp, microwave, refrigerator or other household appliances. Try relocating your phone to another area.
2. A cordless phone on your line may cause static. Try disconnecting the cordless phone. This may eliminate the problem.
3. Extra devices attached to the telephone, such as CID units and answering machines may cause static. Disconnecting the devices may eliminate the problem.
4. If there is also a DSL service in the home, this will cause interference on the line. That interference is then amplifi ed by the phone, causing a less than optimal quality of conversation. Install the phone line fi lter provided by the DSL service provider to reduce the amount of interference on the line.
18
Interference
1. Check cords and connections. Frayed or poorly connected cords can cause interference. Swap cords if necessary.
2. A RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) fi lter can be placed on the line to help minimize or eliminate radio or CB transmissions. Try relocating the telephone to another area.
Page 19
TROUBLESHOOTING
Unable to Access Automated Systems
Automated systems used by banks, long distance voice mail and other ap­plications require that a phone be set to “tone” dialing. Check the switch on the back of the phone labeled “T/P” and set to “T.” This will enable the phone to be compatible with these automated systems. Compatibility
Do I Need to Install Batteries?
To reach the maximum amplifi cation of 40dB, and to fully operate certain functions on the phone, the batteries need to be installed. This phone
uses four (4) AA batteries.
