Digital Clarity Power™ Technology

With Digital Clarity Power, the high frequency sounds are ampliﬁed more than the low frequency sounds so words are not just louder, but clearer and easier to understand. It also provides intelligent ampliﬁcation to make soft sounds audible, while keeping loud sounds bearable.

BOOST – Clarity Power On/Off

The C4210 has a button that controls the loudness of the receiver. Once the BOOST button is pressed, an extra level of ampliﬁcation is added over the entire range of the volume control.

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

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 dial controls the level of volume the handset and headset receive. The volume dial provides up to 15 dB of volume before the CLARITY POWER button is activated. Once the CLARITY POWER button is pressed, the C4210 will provide up to 40 dB of ampliﬁcation.

Tone Switch

The C4210 has three (3) TONE settings. Adjusting the TONE switch changes the style of ampliﬁcation and allows you to customize your hearing experience. We all have different hearing preferences. We suggest exploring each setting to ﬁnd the one you ﬁnd most comfortable.
